The simply supported beams and girders of this building frame were designed to resist the internal shear and moment acting throughout their lengths.

CHAPTER OBJECTIVES

  • To show how to determine the internal loadings in a structural member at specified and arbitrary points.
  • To provide both an analytical and a graphical procedure for constructing shear and moment diagrams for a member or frame.
4.1 INTERNAL LOADINGS AT A SPECIFIED POINT

As discussed in Sec 2.4, the internal load at a specified point in a member can be determined by using the method of ...
