INTRODUCTION An influence line for a given function, such as a reaction, axial f
orce, shear force, or bending
moment, is a graph that shows the variation of that function at any given point
on a structure due to the application of a unit load at any point on the structu
re. An influence line for a function differs from a shear, axial, or bending mom
ent diagram. Influence lines can be generated by independently applying a unit l
oad at several points on a structure and determining the value of the function d
ue to this load, i.e. shear, axial, and moment at the desired location. The calc
ulated values for each function are then plotted where the load was applied and
then connected together to generate the influence line for the function.

THEORY
Defination: An influence line is a plot of the magnitude of the resulting reacti
on/axial force/shear/moment generated in a beam or structure as a unit load trav
els across its length. Influence lines can be generated for any of these actions
(reactions, axial forces, shears, or moments) in a structure. Influence lines a
re used to determine where to place moving loads on a structure to obtain maximu
m results (reactions, shears, moments, axial forces), and to compute these react
ions or other actions (shears/moments/axial forces) once the loads are placed in
critical positions. Part 1: This Experiment examines how shear force varies at
a cut section as a unit load moves from one end to another (see Figure 1). From
the diagram, shear force influence line equation can be writen.
RA = load (a-x) + (digital force x 0.125) a RA = (digital force x 0.125) a

(after cut)

DISCUSSION The graph shows, this experimental results are sometimes different fr
om theoretical results
are due to human error and instrument sensitivity as the reading of the instrume
nt keep changing when we conducted the experiment. From the result that we get,
there are some errors that make our result not accurate and contribute the error
between the experiment and theory: i. ii. Digital indicator is not too accurate
. Although the value of experiment quite near with the value of theory a there a
restill have error. The digital indicator is not too accurate. The digital indic
ator is too sensitive. When we taking the reading, the screen show that the read
ing not in static. That mean the digital indicator is too sensitive with the win
d and the surrounding movement. iii. The load hanger is shaking. When we taking
the reading, we put the load to the hanger. When the load is putting to the hang
er, the hanger is shaking and the reading of digital indicator is change. So it
affects the reading. iv. Parallax error. Reading the ruler scale. The ruler scal
e is in centimetre (cm). So, when the reading process, we cantget the accurate va
lue, because the scale are not suitable for our eye to read with accurately v. T
he beam is sensitive when we do the experiment, the beam is moving when we try t
o put the load.When we want to change the holder of hanger to right side, the be
am is not inthe original position yet.

CONCLUSION While doing this experiment, we get the value of the theoretical is a
lmost the same value
from the experiment value. Hence, the objective of this experiment is proven. So
, we know that our experiment was archived the objective. After the experiment,
we have learned how to determine the shear force influence line when the beam is
subjected to a load moving from left to right. We also learn how to plot the sh
ear force influence line when the beam is subjected to a point load moving from
left to right.
