What we have learnt
- Beam design requires a comprehensive understanding of shear and moment diagrams.
- Practical application of formulas can enhance structural safety and integrity.
- Engaging in activities solidifies theoretical concepts into practice.
Key Concepts
-
Term: Shear Force
Definition: The internal force that acts along the beam, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, causing it to shear.
-
Term: Bending Moment
Definition: The internal moment that induces bending of the beam, calculated based on loads and spans.
-
Term: Moment Diagram
Definition: A graphical representation that illustrates how the bending moment varies along the length of the beam.
-
Term: Shear Diagram
Definition: A graphical representation that shows how the shear force changes along the length of the beam.
