Problem:
A simply supported beam of length 8 m carries point loads of 4 kN, 10 kN, and 7 kN at a distances of 1.5 m, 2.5 m and 2.0 m respectively from the left end A. Draw the S.F. and B.M. diagrams of the beam.
(Solved Book Probems) Problem 11, chapter – Shear Force and Bending Moment, SOM by Dr. R K Bansal
Solution:
End support reactions are: Vertical Reactions, Rl = 15.375 kN, and Rr = 5.625 kN
Moment Reactions are Ml = 0 kNm and Mr = 0 kNm
left shear and moment nodes are : [15.375 11.375 4.375 -5.625]kN and [ 0. 23.0625 28.75 30.9375]kNm
Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams are drawn as shown in the image below.
