Shear Force and Bending Moment as Structural Basics
Basic structural learning begins with an analyzing of a simply supported beam. A beam is a structural member (horizontal) that is design to support the applied load (vertical). It resists the applied loading by a combination of internal transverse shear force and bending moment. An accurate analysis required in order to make sure the beam is construct without any excessive loads which affect its strength.
Types Of Load and Support
Two types of typical loadings:
Concentrated load is one which can be considered to act at a point although of course in practice it must be distributed over a small area (normally vertical or incline loads). (Unit in kN)
Distributed load is one which is spread in some manner over the length or a significant length of the beam. It is usually quoted at a weight per unit length of beam and it may either be uniform or varying loading from point to point. (Unit in kN/m)
Three types of support:
Namely as Pinned support, Roller support and Fixed or Built-in support.
Covered in previous post together the reactions explained in diagrams.[*]
