A. Introduction:
It is important to know how the shear forces and bending moments vary along the length of a beam that is being designed. Graphs are used to describe the change of shear forces and moments. These graphs are called shear and moment diagrams. Employing these diagrams, the maximum and minimum shear and moment are easily identified and located.
Constructing shear and moment diagrams is similar to finding the shear and moment at a particular point on a beam structure. However, instead of using an exact location, the location is a variable distance 'x '. This allows the shear and moment to be a function of the distance, x.
In theory, this appears to be simple, but the equations can be complex, especially with distributed loads that are also a function of the location, x. Also, if there are multiple loads or supports, more than one function must be developed, for example one shear and moment function for each section or span of the beam.
When constructing shear and moment diagrams, the sign convention is important so viewers will know what direction the beam is bending or shearing. Generally, it is assumed that a positive moment causes a beam to bend downward and a positive shear will skew the beam with the left side going up and the right going down.
