 MOMENT DIAGRAM
SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAM

Shear force and bending moment diagrams

are analytical tools used in conjunction with
structural analysis to help perform structural
design by determining the value of shear
forces and bending moments at a given point
of a structural element such as a beam. These
diagrams can be used to easily determine the
type, size, and material of a member in a
structure so that a given set of loads can be
supported without structural failure. Another
application of shear and moment diagrams is
that the deflection of a beam can be easily
determined using either the moment area
method or the conjugate beam method.

Moment diagrams are similar to shear diagrams, use them to find the location and value of
the maximum positive and negative moment, or the moment at any specific location.

The easiest and fastest way to construct a moment-diagram is by using the areas of the
regions in the shear-diagram. Before doing this you must solve for all the reactions, and
solve the shear diagram.

Here is a member that is solved to the desired state to begin working on the moment
diagram. The start of a moment diagram (M) is below the existing shear diagram (V).
 MOMENT OF EQUATION
THREE-MOMENT OF EQUATION

The three-moment equation gives us the

relation between the moments between any
three points in a beam and their relative
vertical distances or deviations. This method
is widely used in finding the reactions
in a continuous beam. Consider three points
on the beam loaded as shown.

From proportions between similar triangles:

The moment-area method of finding the deflection of a beam will demand the
accurate computation of the area of a moment diagram, as well as the moment of
such area about any axis. To pave its way, this section will deal on how to draw
moment diagram by parts and to calculate the moment of such diagrams about a
specified axis.
Basic Principles

The bending moment caused by all forces to the left or to the right of any section is
equal to the respective algebraic sum of the bending moments at that section
caused by each load acting separately.

2. The moment of a load about a specified axis is always defined by the equation of
a spandrel

where n is the degree of power of x.

The graph of the above equation is as shown below

and the area and location of centroid are defined as follows.

A = area of moment diagram
Mx = moment about a section of distance x
barred x = location of centoid
Degree = degree power of the moment diagram
