FREE BODY DIAGRAM

Any force system acting on a structure is easily analyzed if the appropriate reactions required to
maintain equilibrium are inserted in a diagrams

B. EQUATION OF EQUILIBRIUM
When the force act in the x-y plane, the equation will be

C. CONDITION OF DETERMINANCY FOR BEAMS

 To state of static equilibrium, it is necessary to establish the DETERMINACY and
STABILITY
 Equilibrium equation provide sufficient conditions for equilibrium.
 All forces can be determined strictly from these equations
 Structure is referred as STATICALLY DETERMINATE
 However, structure having more unknown forces than available equilibrium equation
referred as STATICALLY INDETERMINATE
 This can be determined using a free body diagram
D. CONDITION OF DETERMINANCY FOR BEAMS

E. DETERMINACY OF BEAM
Beam, pin connected and frame are classified as determinate depending upon the internal
forces in the member or external support reaction.

Shear Force Diagram and Bending Moment Diagram

 Variation of SF and BM over the length of the beam SFD and BMD
 Maximum magnitude of BM and SF and their locations is prime consideration in
beam design
 SFDs and BMDs are plotted using method of section
o Equilibrium of FBD of entire Beam
External Reactions
o Equilibrium of a cut part of beam
Expressions for SF and BM at the cut section

Use the positive sign convention consistently

Draw SFD and BMD for a cantilever beam supporting a point load at the free end
Relations Among Load, Shear and Bending Moment

Shear and Moment Relationships

Both equations not applicable at the point of loading because of discontinuity produced by the
abrupt change in shear.
Example 10
Example 11

Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for the beam and loading shown.
Solution: Draw FBD and find out the support reactions using equilibrium equations
Example 12
Draw the SFM & BMD for the Beam

Solutions:

Draw FBD of the entire beam and calculate support reactions using equilibrium equations

Reaction at Support: RA = RB = wL / 2

Develop the relations between loading, shear force, and bending moment and plot the SFD and
BMD
