Influence Line Diagrams - I

This document discusses influence line diagrams for beams. It introduces influence lines, which show how the internal forces in a structure vary with the position of a moving load. The document focuses on determining the influence lines for reactions, shear, and bending moments in beams. It provides example influence line diagrams for a simple beam and the equations to calculate the influence lines at any point along the beam for different loading conditions.

Introduction
 In normal shear force and bending moment
diagrams, load remains static and cross-
section of beam changes for various values.

 In influence line diagrams for various
functions (i.e. shear, bending moment,
reactions), x-section remains static and load
moves.
