UNIT 2: BEAMS – Loads & Stresses

Beam: is a structural member subjected to a system of external forces


at right angles to its axis. OR

Beam is a structural member which is supported along the length and


subjected to external forces or loads acting transversely, that is,
perpendicular to the centre line.
“A load which is acting vertically downward on the horizontal
beam is called transverse load.
Beam Types

Types of Beams:
• Cantilever beam
• Simply supported beam
• Overhanging beam
• Fixed beam
• Continuous beam

(a)Cantilever : fixed or built-in at one end while it’s other end is free
Cantilever Beam
Simply Supported Beam

Freely or Simply Supported Beam: the ends of a beam are made to freely rest on
supports.

Fixed Beam

Fixed Beam: is fixed at both ends

Shear force and Bending Moment
Definition: Shear Force at a cross-section of a
beam is the unbalanced external force to the
left or right of the section that are perpendicular
to the axis of the beam.

Definition: Bending moment at a cross-section of a beam


is the unbalanced moment of all external force to the left or
right of the section, the moments being taken about an axis
through the centroid of the section.
SHEARING FORCES (S.F.)

Shearing force at the section is defined as the


algebraic sum of the forces taken on one side of the
section
BENDING MOMENT (B.M.)

Bending moment is defined as the algebraic sum of


the moments of the forces about the section, taken on
either sides of the section.

STRESSES IN BEAMS

Assumption for the Simple Bending Theory


1. The beam is initially straight and unstressed.
2. The material is homogeneous, same density and elastic
properties. The elastic limit is nowhere exceeded.
3. Young’s modulus for the materials is the same in tension
and compression.
4. Plane cross–section remains plane before and after
bending.
