Module 3.

2 – Shear and
Moment of Concentrated
Load
Intended Learning Outcomes
(ILOs)
1. To learn the procedure in determining the shear and moment in a simple beam with
concentrated loads.
2. To determine the critical point in a simply supported beam with concentrated loads.
3. To understand the importance of shear and moment in designing beams.
Shear and Moment of Concentrated Load
 Example 1: Determine the shear and moment at midspan if P = 40 kN and L = 10m. (Draw the
shear and moment diagram)

Shear and Moment of Concentrated Load
 Example 2: . Determine the shear force and bending moment acting at point D in the
beam. (Draw the shear and moment diagram)
Shear and Moment of Concentrated Load
 Example 3: Determine shear and moment at 6m from pint A on the beam. Neglect the thickness of
the beam. (Draw the shear and moment diagram)
