UNIT 3.0 INTRODUCTION TO SFBM
DEFINITIONS
Moment: It is the product of force and perpendicular distance between
line of action of the force and the point about which moment is
required to be calculated.
Bending Moment (BM): The moment which causes the bending
effect on the beam is called Bending Moment. It is generally denoted
by ‘M’ or ‘BM’.
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

UNIT 3.0 INTRODUCTION TO SFBM
DEFINITIONS
Structural Members are usually classified according to the
types of loads that they support
There are four type of loads that structural member need
to support :
Shear Force
Axial Load
(Tension or Compression)
Torsion
Bending Moment
MJK CeDS DAC 12503
UNIT 3.0 INTRODUCTION TO SFBM
DEFINITIONS
We have already cover in great length the analysis of
stress and strain due to axial loads in previous section.
Examples of structural elements that resist axial load.
The resulting internal forces is either tension of compression.
Stresses generated by these internal forces can be NORMAL or
SHEAR depanding on the direction of applied forces compared
with the surface area being analized.

Contra Point of SF and BM
• Contra point is a place where positive
shear force/bending moment shifting to
the negative region or vice-versa.
• Contra point for shear: V = 0
• Contra point for moment: M = 0
• When shear force is zero, the moment is
maximum.
• Maximum shear force usually occur at the
support / concentrated load.

3.3 Equilibrium Equation for Shear & Moment
• Representing shear and moment algebraically is very useful to identify
the critical stress areas in the beam.
• In most cases, it is impossible to write down only 1 equation of shear &
moment for the entire beam.
• It would be necessary to write multiple equations, one for each beam’s
segment as the beam may be subjected to one or more concentrated
loads.
• Example;
3.3 Equilibrium Equation for Shear & Moment
• The following are several equation that can be used for identifying the
critical value for shear and moment.
3.4 Drawing of Shear Force and Bending Moment
Diagram and Interpretation
Cut Section Method
Steps in analyzing deflection of beam;
1. Calculate the support reactions
‐ If a support prevents translation of a body in a
particular direction, then the support exerts a force on
the body in that direction.
‐ Determined using ΣFx=0 , ΣFy=0 , and ΣM=0
2. Determine the number of shear and moment equation
3. Cut the beam in each segment and draw the free body diagram
4. Formulate the equailibrium equation and solve the unknowns.
Example 1
a) Calculate the shear force and bending moment for
the beam subjected to a concentrated load as shown
in the figure, and draw the shear force diagram
(SFD) and bending moment diagram (BMD).
b) If P = 20 kN and L = 6 m, draw the SFD and BMD
for the beam.
