Shear Moment Diagram 30926F
1. **State the problem:**
We need to draw the shear force and bending moment diagrams for a beam with the following loads and supports:
- Point load 5 kips downward at A (x=0 ft)
- Point load 15 kips upward at B (x=5 ft)
- Uniform distributed load (UDL) 2 kips/ft from B to E (x=5 ft to x=28 ft)
- Point load 10 kips downward at E (x=28 ft)
- A clockwise moment of 25 kip-ft applied between B and D (at x=13 ft)
- Supports at B and D
2. **Identify beam segments and reactions:**
- Total beam length: 5 + 8 + 12 + 3 = 28 ft
- Supports at B (x=5 ft) and D (x=25 ft)
3. **Calculate reactions at supports B and D:**
Let reaction forces be $R_B$ and $R_D$ (vertical).
Sum of vertical forces = 0:
$$R_B + R_D - 5 + 15 - 10 - (2 \times 23) = 0$$
The distributed load length is from B (5 ft) to E (28 ft), length = 23 ft, total load = $2 \times 23 = 46$ kips downward.
So:
$$R_B + R_D - 5 + 15 - 10 - 46 = 0 \Rightarrow R_B + R_D - 46 = 0 \Rightarrow R_B + R_D = 46$$
Sum moments about B = 0 (taking clockwise positive):
- Moment due to 5 kip at A (5 ft left of B): $5 \times 5 = 25$ kip-ft clockwise
- Moment due to 10 kip at E (28 - 5 = 23 ft right of B): $10 \times 23 = 230$ kip-ft counterclockwise
- Moment due to distributed load (46 kips) acts at midpoint of 23 ft span from B, i.e., at 11.5 ft from B: $46 \times 11.5 = 529$ kip-ft counterclockwise
- Moment applied at 13 ft from B: 25 kip-ft clockwise
- Moment due to reaction at D (at 20 ft from B): $R_D \times 20$ kip-ft counterclockwise
Sum moments about B:
$$25 - 230 - 529 + 25 + R_D \times 20 = 0$$
Simplify:
$$25 + 25 - 230 - 529 + 20 R_D = 0$$
$$50 - 759 + 20 R_D = 0$$
$$20 R_D = 709$$
$$R_D = \frac{709}{20} = 35.45 \text{ kips}$$
From $R_B + R_D = 46$:
$$R_B = 46 - 35.45 = 10.55 \text{ kips}$$
4. **Shear force diagram (V):**
- Start at A (x=0): Shear = $-5$ kips (downward load)
- Jump up by $R_B = 10.55$ kips at B (x=5 ft): Shear = $-5 + 10.55 = 5.55$ kips
- From B to E (x=5 to 28 ft), shear decreases linearly due to UDL of 2 kips/ft:
Shear at E just before load = $5.55 - 2 \times 23 = 5.55 - 46 = -40.45$ kips
- Jump down by 10 kips at E (x=28 ft): Shear = $-40.45 - 10 = -50.45$ kips
- Jump up by $R_D = 35.45$ kips at D (x=25 ft) (note order: D is before E, so at x=25 ft shear jumps up by 35.45 kips)
5. **Moment diagram (M):**
- Moment at A = 0
- Moment increases/decreases by area under shear diagram
- Moment jump of 25 kip-ft clockwise at x=13 ft
Calculate moments at key points:
- At B (x=5 ft):
$$M_B = M_A + \int_0^5 V dx = 0 + (-5) \times 5 = -25 \text{ kip-ft}$$
- Between B and 13 ft (8 ft segment): shear decreases linearly from 5.55 kips to value at 13 ft:
Shear at 13 ft:
$$V_{13} = 5.55 - 2 \times (13 - 5) = 5.55 - 16 = -10.45 \text{ kips}$$
Moment at 13 ft:
$$M_{13} = M_B + \text{area under shear from 5 to 13}$$
Area under shear from 5 to 13 is trapezoid:
$$\frac{(5.55 + (-10.45))}{2} \times 8 = \frac{-4.9}{2} \times 8 = -19.6 \text{ kip-ft}$$
So:
$$M_{13} = -25 - 19.6 = -44.6 \text{ kip-ft}$$
Add moment jump of 25 kip-ft clockwise (negative moment):
$$M_{13^+} = -44.6 - 25 = -69.6 \text{ kip-ft}$$
- Between 13 ft and D (x=25 ft): shear continues decreasing linearly:
Shear at 25 ft:
$$V_{25} = V_{13} - 2 \times (25 - 13) = -10.45 - 24 = -34.45 \text{ kips}$$
Area under shear from 13 to 25:
$$\frac{(-10.45 + (-34.45))}{2} \times 12 = \frac{-44.9}{2} \times 12 = -269.4 \text{ kip-ft}$$
Moment at D:
$$M_D = M_{13^+} + (-269.4) = -69.6 - 269.4 = -339 \text{ kip-ft}$$
- Between D and E (3 ft): shear jumps up by $R_D = 35.45$ kips at D, so shear at D just right is:
$$V_{25^+} = -34.45 + 35.45 = 1 \text{ kip}$$
Shear at E just before load is 1 kip - 2 kips/ft over 3 ft:
$$V_E = 1 - 2 \times 3 = 1 - 6 = -5 \text{ kips}$$
Area under shear from 25 to 28:
$$\frac{(1 + (-5))}{2} \times 3 = \frac{-4}{2} \times 3 = -6 \text{ kip-ft}$$
Moment at E:
$$M_E = M_D + (-6) = -339 - 6 = -345 \text{ kip-ft}$$
6. **Summary:**
- Reactions: $R_B = 10.55$ kips upward, $R_D = 35.45$ kips upward
- Shear diagram starts at -5 kips at A, jumps to 5.55 kips at B, decreases linearly to -40.45 kips at E, with jumps at D and E
- Moment diagram starts at 0 at A, negative moments throughout, with a jump of -25 kip-ft at 13 ft
This completes the shear and moment diagram analysis.
