SHEAR FORCE FULL.pdf - INTRODUCTION When a horizontal...

INTRODUCTION
When a horizontal member of a structure (beam) is subjected to several concentrated forces and
distributed loads, it will bend due to shear force and bending moment. Shear force is the resultant
force in the beam acting perpendicular to its longitudinal x-axis. Shear force is an unaligned forces
pushing one part of a body in one specific direction and the other part of the body in the opposite
direction.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
In a beam design, shear and moment curves have to be construct in order to determine the location
of and magnitude of the maximum values of these forces. The proportion of the cross section are
determined by the magnitude of the maximum shear and moment in the span.

OBJECTIVES
1. To show that the shear force at a cutting section is equal to the algebraic sum of the
forces acting to the left or right of the section.
