Symmetrical Bending System

Lesson Outcomes
At the end of the lecture, students will be
able to
Define beams and identify types of
beams, their connections and loads.
Apply the equilibrium concept
Draw free body diagram

Symmetrical Bending System


BASIS FOR BEAM DESIGN
Beams are structural members
designed to support loadings
perpendicular to their longitudinal
axes.
Under load, internal shear force and
bending moment that vary from pt
to pt along axis of beam.
Axial stress is ignored in design, as
its much smaller than the shear
force and bending moment.
A beam designed to resist shear
and bending moment is designed
on the basis of strength.

Symmetrical Bending System


A) Type of Loads
Concentrated load/Point load
Knife load
Uniformly distributed load (udl)
Varying linearly distributed load
Triangular load

Symmetrical Bending System


C) Type of Beams
Cantilever beam a beam which is fixed at one end and
free at the other end.
Simply supported beam a beam where both ends are
supported or placed freely on the wall or column
Overhanging beam a beam that has one end
overhanging, as in the cantilever but exceeds the
support. Can also have both ends overhanging
Fixed beam a beam where both ends are fixed rigidly
into the wall
Continuous beam a beam that has more than two
supports
