Shear and Moment Diagrams For Frames Shear and Moment Diagrams For Frames

This document discusses procedures for constructing shear force and bending moment diagrams for frames. It begins by outlining the general procedure, which involves determining support reactions, cutting the frame into members, and using equilibrium equations to solve for internal forces at each joint. An example problem is then worked through step-by-step to demonstrate drawing the diagrams. Additional examples are provided and the concept of superposition is introduced as a method for constructing diagrams for complex loadings by combining the effects of simpler load cases.

Shear and Moment Diagrams for Frames


A frame is a structure composed of several members that are either fixed or pin connected at their ends. It is often necessary to draw shear and moment diagrams to design frames.

Shear and Moment Diagrams for Frames


Procedure for analysis - the following is a procedure for constructing the shear and moment diagrams for a frame
1. Determine the support reactions for the frame, if possible.

2. Determine the support reactions A, V, and M at the end of each member using the method of sections. 3. Construct both shear and moment diagrams just as before. We will use the following sign convention: always draw the

moment diagram on the compression side of the member.

Example: Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the following frame (see notes page 38):
0.8 k/ft

First, find as many external reactions as possible.
16 k
0.6 k/ft 0.8 k/ft

MA = 0
= 9.6k (8ft ) 16k (10ft ) + Dy (20ft )

20 ft

20 ft 9.6 k 16 ft Ax Ay Dy 16 ft

Dy = 11.84 k

Fy

= 0 = Ay + Dy 16k

0.6 k/ft

Ay = 4.16 k

Fx

= 0 = Ax + 9.6k

Ax = -9.6 k

Shear and Moment Diagrams by Superposition


We have learned how to construct a moment diagram from either writing the moment as a function of x or from the slope relationship with the shear diagram. If the beam or frame is linearly elastic, we can use the principles of superposition to construct moment diagrams from a series of parts rather than from a single complex shape.
