BEAM
A

structure usually horizontal, acted upon by transverse

loads (forces that acts perpendicular to the plane containing
the longitudinal axis of the beam).

Statically Indeterminate Beams

Beams that are over-supported in the sense that each beam has at
least one more reaction than is necessary for support.

SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAM

Convenient visual references to the internal forces in a

beam

Internal Forces:

Beam Shear
Bending Moment

SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAM

The

slope of the shear diagram at each point is the

distributed load intensity at each point.

The slope of the moment diagram at each point is the

shear at each point.
