Influence Lines
Since beams or girders are usually major load
carrying members in large structures, it is
important to draw influence lines for reaction,
shear, and moment at specified points. , m m p f p .
Once an influence line has been drawn, it is
possible to locate the live loads on the beam so
that the maximum value of the reaction, shear,
or moment is produced.
This is very important in the design procedure.
Influence Lines
Concentrated Force - Since we use a unit force
(a dimensionless load), the value of the function
(reaction, shear, or moment) can be found by
multiplying the ordinate of the influence line at multiplying the ordinate of the influence line at
the position x by the magnitude of the actual
force P.
Influence Lines
Uniform Force - consider the portion of
the beam Ax

Example: The beam below is subject to a dead load of 1.5 kN/m

Example: Determine the maximum positive moment that can be
