Draw the influence lines for

(a) the vertical reaction at A
(b) the moment at A
(c) the shear at B
Assume the support at A is fixed.

Dr.(Mrs.) Shayani Mendis

The beam AB, subjected to a 15kN live load which moves from A to B. Draw the The simply supported beam carries a uniformly distributed travelling load
influence line for of length 10m and intensity 20kN/m.
(a) Shear at C
Calculate the maximum positive and negative values of shear force and
(b) Bending moment at C
bending moment at C
(c) Find out the maximum positive shear and moment at C
(d) If the beam carries a dead load of 20kN/m, due to self-weight find out the
maximum positive shear and moment at C.

(e) Addition to that another 10kN/m uniformly distributed load starts to travel on 8m 4m
the beam. What is the maximum positive shear at C.
