INFLUENCE LINE
9.1 Draw the influence line for the shear force and moment at a section n at the midspan of
the simply supported beam shown in Figure P9.1.
9.2 Draw the influence lines for the reaction at A and B and the shear and the bending
moment at point C of the beam with overhanging ends, as shown in Figure P9.2.
9.3 Draw the influence line for the reactions at the support of the cantilever beam shown
in Figure P9.3.
9.5 Draw the influence lines for support reactions at C and D and at point B of the compound
beam shown in Figure P9.5.
9.6 Draw the influence lines for the shear force and moment at sections ns and k of the
compound beam shown in Figure P9.6.
9.8 Determine the absolute maximum bending moment in a 12 m-long simply supported
girder bridge subjected to a moving truck loading, as shown in Figure P9.8.
9.10 Determine the absolute maximum bending moment in a 14 m-long simply supported
girder bridge subjected to a moving truck loading, as shown in Figure P9.10.
9.12 Draw the influence lines for the moment at C and the shear force in panel BC of the
floor girder shown in Figure P9.12.
9.13 Draw the influence lines for the moment at B and the shear in panel CD of the floor
girder shown in Figure P9.13.
9.15 Draw the influence lines for the moment at D and the shear force in panel AB of the
floor girder shown in Figure P9.15.
9.16 Draw the influence lines for the forces in members CD, CF, and GF as a unit load
moves across the top of the truss, as shown in Figure P9.16.
9.18 Draw the influence lines for the forces in members DE, DH, IH, and HG as a unit live
load is transmitted to the bottom chords of the truss, as shown in Figure P9.18.
9.19 Draw the influence lines for the forces in members BC, BF, FE, and ED as a unit load
moves across the bottom chords of the truss, as shown in Figure P9.19.
