    Influence Line For Determinate Structures: (1) Simply Supported Beam

    Uploaded by

    An influence line diagram shows the variation of a structural response (shear force, bending moment, etc.) at a given location as a unit load moves along the structure. There are several types of influence line diagrams: 1) For simply supported beams, the influence line for reactions shows the reaction increasing from 0 to 1 as the load moves from one support to the other. 2) For bending moment at an interior point of a simply supported beam, the moment is maximum when the load is at that point and reduces to 0 at the supports. 3) Muller-Breslau principle states that the displaced shape of a structure under a unit load is proportional to the influence line for internal forces.

    An influence line for any given point or section of structure is a curve whose

    ordinates represent to scale the variation of a function such as shear force,


    bending moment, deflection etc at a point or section, as the unit load moves
    across the structure.

    Influence line for determinate structures:


    (1) Simply supported beam:

    I.L.D. for reactions at the supports:


    Let a unit load waves from the left end A to the right end B of the beam.

    As x increases, increases and decreases.

    At x=0, =0, =1

    At x=l, = 1, =0

    Thus, I.L.D. is shown in the figure below.

    Uses of an Influence Line Diagram:


    1. To determine the value of the quantity for a given system of loads on
    the span of the structure.
    2. To determine the position of live load for the quantity to have the
    maximum value and hence to compute the maximum value of the quantity.
    INFLUENCE LINE DIAGRAMS:
    (1) For shear force at a given section of a simply supported
    girder

    Let a unit load move along the span of a simply supported girder AB of span
    l.

    Let D be a given section.

    When the unit load is between A and D,

    When the unit load is between D and B


    (2) For the bending moment at a given section
    When the unit load is between A and D.

    (3) Simply supported beam with overhanging


    MULLER BRESLAU PRINCIPLE:
    This principle states that if a reaction (or internal force) acts through an
    imposed displacement, the corresponding displaced shape of the structure is
    to some scale the influence line for force quantities only.

    (4) Continuous Beams


    Consider a continuous beam ABC shown in figure below. Let it be required to
    obtain the influence line for the vertical reaction at A. Assume that the
    support A is removed (as in fig b). Let the given beam carry unit load at a.
    Let the corresponding reaction at A be . Thus after removing the support
    at A, apply an external forces at A so as to maintain the beam in its
    position.

    Now from Beltis theorem,

    This means that the ordinate of the influence line for at the point n is
    obtained by dividing the deflection at n by the deflection at point a.

    Thus, influence line diagram for is given by

    (5) Propped Cantilever


    Figure (a) below shows a propped cantilever AB fixed at A and simply
    supported at B.

    Let and be the reacting forces at A and B respectively.

    To draw the influence line for


    Remove the support B and apply unit load at any point distance x from left
    support (fig b). Again apply a unit load at right end and displacements were
    measured at those two points.

    As deflection at B is zero, therefore,

    As per Beltis Law;

    Thus, we can write


    Thus the ordinate of the influence line for is obtained by dividing the
    deflection at any section X by the deflection at the point B due to unit load B.
