Shear Force and Bending Moment Theory: Analyzing Internal Forces for Structural Analysis and Design The shear force and bending moment theory is a fundamental concept in structural engineering that allows engineers to analyze and understand the internal forces acting on beams. By studying the shear force and bending moment diagrams, engineers can determine the distribution of forces along the length of a beam, which is essential for designing safe and efficient structures. This theory provides insights into the behavior of beams under different loading conditions and helps engineers select appropriate materials, dimensions, and support systems to ensure structural integrity and stability.

1.Simply supported beam:- A beam supported freely on the walls or columns at its both ends is known as simply supported beam 2.Over hanging beam:- A beam is freely supported on two supports. But its one end or both the ends are projected beyond the support.
1.Point load or Concentrated load:- When a load is acting on a relatively small area it is considered as point load or concentrated load. W = point load, its is given in N or kN. W
A load which is spread over a beam in such a manner that its intensity varies uniformly on each unit is called uniformly varying load. w = U.V.L, It is given in N/m or kN/m. w
We will limit our study to shear force and bending moment diagrams of statically determinate beams. Commonly encountered statically determinate beams are, a. Cantilever Beam b. Simply Supported Beam c. Over-hanging Beam
Consider a section x-x at a distance 6m from left hand support A Imagine the beam is cut into two pieces at section x-x and is separated, as shown in figure. 5kN 10kN^ 8kN 4m (^) 5m 5m^ 1m A C (^) D B RA = 8.2 kN (^) RB=14.8kN E x x 6 m
Thus the section x-x considered is subjected to forces 3. 2 kN and moment
Shear force at a section : The algebraic sum of the vertical forces acting on the beam either to the left or right of the section is known as the shear force at a section. Bending moment (BM) at section : The algebraic sum of the moments of all forces acting on the beam either to the left or right of the section is known as the bending moment at a section 3.2 kN 3.2 kN F
Shear force at x-x M Bending moment at x-x 39.2 kN
+ ve shear force (^) - ve shear force
The bending moment is considered as Sagging Bending Moment if it tends to bend the beam to a curvature having convexity at the bottom as shown in the Fig. given below. Sagging Bending Moment is considered as positive bending moment. Fig. Sagging bending moment [Positive bending moment ] Convexity
The diagram which shows the variation of shear force along the length of the beam is called Shear Force Diagram (SFD).
The diagram which shows the variation of bending moment along the length of the beam is called Bending Moment Diagram (BMD).
