    Ynah Marie Boragay
    This document discusses the process of constructing shear and moment diagrams for beams using the area method without writing shear and moment equations. It explains the relationships between the load, shear, and moment diagrams, and provides the general procedure for determining support reactions, shear diagrams, and moment diagrams. This includes using the method of sections to relate changes in shear and moment to the area under the load and shear diagrams respectively. An example problem is given to demonstrate drawing shear and moment diagrams without writing equations.

    Shear and Moment Diagram
    using Area Method
    BEAMS
    Relation among Load, Shear and Moment Diagrams:
    The relation among the load, shear and moment diagrams provide a method of constructing shear and moment
    diagrams without writing shear and moment equations. These relations are not independent of the basic
    definition of shear and moment; they supplement them and are used in conjunction with them.

    Figure shows a differential segment of the beam of length dx. The load on the left side is shear V and moment
    M; on the right side V + dV and M+ dM( due to the change in shear and moment between the left and right side
    of the segment). The uniform load W remains constant since the length of the segment is a very small quantity.
    GENERAL PROCEDURE
    Support Reactions:

    1. Determine the reactions of the supports and resolve the forces acting on the beam into its parallel and
    perpendicular components.

    Shear Diagram:

    1. Establish the V and x axes and plot the shear values at the ends of the beam. Since the slope of the shear
    diagram at any point is equal to the strength of the load distributed at the point. (Note that when w acts
    upward, therefore, it is positive.
    2. You can find the value of the shear using method of sections that states that the change in shear force is
    equal to the area under the load diagram.
    3. Since w(x) is integrated to obtain V, if w(x) is a curve of degree n, then V(x) will be a curve of degree For
    example, if w(x) is uniform, V(x) will be linear.
    GENERAL PROCEDURE
    Moment Diagram:

    1. Establish the M and x axes and plot the values of the moment at the ends of the beam. Since the slope of the
    moment diagram at any point is equal to the strength of the shear at the point.
    2. The point of maximum or minimum moment is where the zero shears is located.
    3. You can find the value of the moment using the method of sections that states that the change in moment is
    equal to the area under the shear diagram.
    4. Since V(x) is integrated to obtain M, if V(x) is a curve of degree n, then M(x) will be a curve of degree For
    example, if V(x) is linear, M(x) will be parabolic.
    Example
    Without writing shear and moment
    equations, draw the shear and moment
    diagrams of the beams and frames
    specified as follows:
    Example
    Determine the shear and moment
    diagram of the beam.
