2CL401 STRUCTURAL MECHANICS-II

Term Assignment-3 Influence Line Diagrams for Beams

1. Construct the following Influence line diagrams for the simply supported beam as
shown in Fig. 1.
a) Vertical reaction at A
b) Vertical reaction at B
c) Shear force at the mid -point
d) Bending moment at the mid-point

2. A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in Fig. 2. Using Influence Line,

evaluate Shear Force and Bending Moment at point ‘C’.
Consider, concentrated load ‘W’ as your roll number. (i.e. For 20BCL001, load W=1
kN)

3. A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in Fig. 3. Using Influence Line,

evaluate Shear Force and Bending Moment at a mid-point.
Consider, uniformly distributed load ‘w’ as your roll number. (i.e. For 20BCL001,
load w=1 kN/m)
