Consider the beam as shown below.
3kN/m 30KN 10KN
A 3m C 2m D 3m B 3m E
RA RB
The two equations that govern a
loaded beam are:
a) Total vertical Forces Acting
Downward = Total Vertical forces
acting upward
b) Total Clockwise Moment About a
Turning Point = Total Anticlockwise
Moment about the same turning
point.
Based on the two equations above,
we are going to write two
equations.
a) Total Vertical Forces acting
downward =
(3KN/m X3m) + 30KN + 10KN
Total vertical forces acting upward=
RA + RB
The symbol for our equation a) is
usually written
ΣFV=0: 49KN = RA + RB (1)
The symbol for our equation b) is
usually written
ΣMA=0
This symbol means summation of
moments about the turning point
(support A) is zero.
The symbol for our equation b) is
usually written
ΣMA=0
This symbol means summation of
moments about the turning point
(support A) is zero.
The following diagram illustrates
clockwise and anticlockwise
moments about a support turning
point.
Engineering science N4 (FET College)
Based on the above diagram:
Let the weight of the boy on the left
hand side be A KN and the weight of
the boy on the right hand side be
B KN.
The weight of a body acts
downwards.
Anticlockwise moment:
AKilonewton exerts an
anticlockwise moment of A
Kilonewtons X x meters about the
support .
Assuming that the perpendicular
distance of the weight of A from the
turning point is x meters.
Clockwise moment:
BKN exerts an clockwise moment of
B Kilonewtons X w meters about the
support .
Assuming that the perpendicular
distance of the weight of B from the
turning point is w meters.
Based on the above definitions, we
are going to write an equation of
ΣMA=0 for the loaded beam.
Clockwise moments about RA
(3kN/m X 3m X (3/2)m) +
(30KN X 5m) + (10KN X 11m)
= 273.5KNm
(3kN/m X 3m X (3/2)m)
For the moment shown above:
3kN/m X 3m = magnitude of the
Uniformly distributed load.
(3/2)m represents the
perpendicular distance between the
turning point A and the point
through which the udl acts.
In order words, this moment is :
3 represents the span on which the
udl acts.
The magnitude of the udl , 3kN/m X
3m , acts through the middle of the
span.
(30KN X 5m)
This represents the moment of the
point load, 30KN, which acts at a
perpendicular distance of 5m from
the turning point, A.
For Anticlockwise moments:
RB X (3m + 2m + 3m)
RB represents the support reaction
acting vertically upwards.
(3m + 2m + 3m) represents the
distance between the support RB
and the turning point.
273.5KNm = RB X (3m + 2m + 3m)
RB = 34.1875KN
From the equation RA + RB = 39
RA = (49 - 34.1875)KN = 14.8125KN
We shall now proceed to draw the
SFD.
Shear Force Diagram is a graph of
the vertical forces plotted on the y
axes and the horizontal
perpendicular distance of the force
on the x axis.
The point A is zero meters
C = 3m ; D = 5m etc
