Internal Forces

1. Internal Forces Developed in Structural Members - The design of any structural member requires to know both the external loads acting on the member and the internal forces acting within the member in order to be sure the material can resist these loading - The concrete supporting a bridge has fractured: What might have caused it to do this? Is it because of the internal forces? If so, what are they and how can we design these structures to make them safer?

1. Internal Forces Developed in Structural Members - If a coplanar force system acts on a member, then in general a resultant internal normal force (acting perpendicular to the section), shear force (acting along the surface), and bending moment will act at any cross section along the member
