The goal of beam analysis is to determine the shear force and bending moment at every cross-
section of the beam. Particular attention is paid to finding the values and the locations of the maximum
shear force and the maximum bending moment. The results enable the engineer to select a suitable beam
that can support the applied loads.
Sample Problems:
1. Construct the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam shown by using area
method. Neglect the weight of the beam.
2. Construct the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam shown by using area
method. Neglect the weight of the beam.
3. Construct the shear force and bending moment diagrams for the beam shown by using area
method. Neglect the weight of the beam.
