Moment Test:
Moment Test:
The value you read is the force (N) in the load cell
The moment at the cut section: M(Nmm) = F (N) x d (mm)
and: d = 125 mm

Procedure:
Part (A):
- Each group has three different load combinations, for
each:
- Measure the values of shear and moment at cut section,
and calculate them by theoretical statics methods as
well.
Procedure:
Part (A):
- For the first load combination only, draw the shear and
moment diagram along the beam length.

Procedure:
Part (B):
- Each group has a constant load (W), by which:
- Move the load across the beam length
length, at various
specified positions, and measure the values of shear and
moment at cut section corresponding to each position.
Procedure:
Part (B):
- Divide the measured values by W to get the S and M at
cut section due to unit load in different positions.
- Plot the shear and moment influence line for the cut
section:

Procedure:
Part (C):
- Using the constructed influence lines (Part B), calculate
the shear and moment at cut section for each load
combination (Part A):

Procedure:
Part (C):
- Compare the S and M values you got from three
different approaches:
measurement;
theory; and
influence line.
