BEM horizontal or inclined structural member that is designed to resist forces acting to its axis is called a beam INTERNL FORCES IN BEM Whether or not a beam will break, depend on the internal resistances built up in the beam and on the strength of material that the beam is made of. What are the internal resistences and how to find them? If the beam can still maintain in one piece without breaking under the actions of lateral loads, then the beam as a whole, and any part of it, must be in the condition of equilibrium. By means of equations of equilibrium for the plane structure, we should be able to find the internal resistance in a beam. ΣFx = 0, ΣFy = 0 and ΣM = 0. The internal forces for a beam section will consist of a shear force V, a bending moment M, and an axial force (normal force) N. For beams with no axial loading, the axial force N is zero. Sign Convention for Internal Forces in a Beam Sign Convention (considering a small segment of the member): Shear Force V: Positive shear tends to rotate the segment clockwise. Moment M: Positive moment bends the segment concave upwards. (so as to hold water ) xial Force N: Tension is positive. Page 4-1
n important feature of the above sign convention (often called the beam convention) is that it gives the same (positive or negative) results regardless of which side of the section is used in computing the internal forces. V M N N M V N xial Force N POSITIVE SIGN CONVENTION V Shear Force M Bending Moment M V PROCEDURES FOR FINDING V, M ND N T BEM SECTION 1. Identify whether the beam is a determinate or an indeterminate structure. (This chapter focuses on the analysis of determinate beam only. Indeterminate structure requires the consideration of compatibility condition, i.e. the deformation of the structure). 2. Compute the Support Reactions Make use of the equilibrium equations and the equations of condition if any. 3. Draw a Free-Body Diagram of the Beam Segment Keep all external loading on the member in their exact location. Draw a free-body diagram of the beam segment to the left or right of the beam. (lthough the left or right segment could equally be used, we should select the segment that requires the least computation). Indicate at the section the unknowns V, M and N. The directions of these unknowns may be assumed to be the same as their positive directions. Page 4-2
4. Use the Equations of Equilibrium to Determine V, M & N. If the solution gives a negative value for V, M or N, this does not mean the force itself is NEGTIVE. It tells that actual force or moment acts in the reversed direction only. 5. Check the Calculations using the Opposite Beam Segment if necessary. Page 4-3
Example 1 Find the shear and moment on sections at 2 m and 4 m from the left end for the following beam. Solution To analyze internal forces in the beam, it will first be necessary to calculate the reaction at one support. ΣM D = 0, V *7 = 40*4 + 20*2 V = 28.571 kn ΣF x = 0, H = 0 ΣF y = 0, V + V D = 20 + 40 V D = 31.429 KN Page 4-4

Page 4-5
t x = 4m, ΣF y = 0, 28.571-40 = V V = -11.429 kn (Negative sign indicates that the shear force acts upwards direction.) ΣM 0 = 0, -28.571*4 + 40*1 + M = 0 M = 74.824 knm (Sagging) Page 4-6

However, it is noted that by using the right free-body will greatly simplified the calculations. This shows importance of choosing the appropriate free-body. Page 4-11
SHER FORCE ND BENDING MOMENT DIGRMS By the methods discussed before, i.e. by using free-body diagrams, the magnitude and sign of the shear forces and bending moments may be obtained at many sections of a beam. When these values are plotted on a base line representing the length of a beam, the resulting diagrams are called, respectively, the shear force diagram and the bending moment diagram. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are very useful to a designer, as they allow him to see at a glance the critical sections of the beam and the forces to design for. Draftsman like precision in drawing the shear force and bending moment diagrams is usually not necessary, as long as the significant numerical values are clearly marked on the diagram. The most fundamental approach in constructing the shear force and bending moment diagrams for a beam is to use the procedure of sectioning. With some experience, it is not difficult to identify the sections at which the shear force and bending moment diagrams between these sections are readily identified after some experience and can be sketched in.

Deflected Shape of a Beam The qualitative deflected shape (also called elastic curve ) of a beam is simply an approximate and exaggerated sketch of the deformed beam due to the given loading. The deflected shape is useful in understanding the structural behaviour. Sketching the Deflected Shape of a Beam 1. The deflected shape must be consistent with the support conditions: (a) t a Roller Support, the vertical deflection is zero but the beam may rotate freely. (b) t a Pin Support, the vertical and horizontal deflections are zero but the beam may rotate freely. (c) t a Fixed Support, the vertical and horizontal deflections are zero and there is no rotation. 2. The deflected shape must be consistent with the Bending Moment Diagram. (a) Where the moment is positive, the deflected shape is concave upwards ( ). (b) Where the moment is negative, the deflected shape is concave downwards ( ). 3. The transition points between positive and negative moment regions are points of zero moment. These points are called point of inflection or point of contraflexure. 4. The deflected shape must be a smooth curve except at internal hinges. Normally, the vertical deflection at an internal hinge is not zero. 5. Quite often it is possible to sketch the deflected shape of a structure first and then to infer the shape of the bending moment diagram from the sketch. This is useful for checking whether a bending moment diagram obtained through calculations is correct. Page 4-29

PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION The principle of superposition states that on a linear elastic structure, the combined effect (e.g., support reactions, internal forces and deformation) of several loads acting simultaneously is equal to the algebraic sum of the effects of each load acting individually. There are two conditions for which superposition is NOT valid. 1. When the structural material does not behave according to Hooke s law; that is, when the stress is not proportional to the strain. 2. When the deflections of the structure are so large that computations cannot be based on the original geometry of the structure. Page 4-37
