Internal Loadings

This document discusses how to determine internal loadings such as normal force, shear force, and bending moment at points along structural members using the method of sections. It also describes how to draw shear and moment diagrams by plotting the variations of shear force and bending moment as functions of position along the member. The diagrams show the changes in shear and moment between points as the areas under the loading and shear diagrams, respectively. Examples are provided to demonstrate these concepts.

INTERNAL LOADINGS

DEVELOPED IN
STRUCTURAL MEMBERS
Internal Loadings at a Specified Point

The internal load at a specified point in a member can be


determined by using the method of sections. In general, this
loading for a coplanar structure will consist of a normal force N,
shear force V, and bending moment M.
Sign Convention

• Positive normal force tends to elongate the segment;


• Positive shear tends to rotate the segment clockwise, and
• Positive bending moment tends to bend the segment
concave upward
Example 1
Determine the internal normal force, shear force, and bending moment
acting at point C in the beam.
Example 2
Determine the internal normal force, shear force, and bending moment
acting at point D.Take w = 150 N/m.
Example 3
Determine the internal normal force, shear force, and bending moment
acting at point C in the beam. B is an internal hinge.
Example 4
Determine the internal shear and moment in the beam as a function of x.
Example 5
Determine the internal shear and moment in the beam as a function of x.
Example 6
Determine the internal shear and moment in the beam as a function of x.
SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAM
If the variations of V and M as functions of x obtained are plotted, the
graphs are termed the shear diagram and moment diagram, respectively.
The change in the shear
between any two points on
a beam equals the area
under the distributed
loading diagram between
the points. The change in
the moment between the
two points equals the area
under the shear diagram
between the points.
Example 1
Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam shown. A is a fixed
support.
Example 2
Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam shown.
Example 3
Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam shown.
Example 4
Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam shown.
