Activity 1

SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAM

1. A simply supported beam of length 8m rests on supports 6m apart, the right-hand end
overhanging by 2m. The beam carries a uniform distributed load of 1500N/m over the entire
length. Draw the shear and moment diagram.

2. A simply supported beam of length 8m rest on supports 5 m apart, the right-hand end is overhanging
by 2m, and the left-hand end is overhanging by 1m. The beam carries a uniform load of 5kN/m over the
entire length. It also carries two concentrated loads of 4kN and 6kN at each end of the beam. Draw the
shear and moment diagram.

SHEAR AND FLEXURAL STRESS ON BEAM

Activity 2

1, From the above question #1, if the section of the beam is 200mm x 300m , find the maximum shear
and flexural stress experience by the beam.

1, From the above question #2, if the section of the beam is 250mm x 350m, find the maximum shear
and flexural stress experience by the beam.
