INTRODUCTION
Shear force are unaligned forces pushing one part of a body in one direction, and
another part of the body in the opposite direction. When the forces are aligned into each
other, they are called compression forces. An example is a deck of cards being push one away
on the top, and the other at the bottom, causing the cards to slide. For another example is
when wind blows at the side of a peaked roof of a home, the side walls experience a force at
their top pushing in the direction of the wind, and their bottom in the opposite direction, from
ground or the foundation. William A Nash said, If a plane is passed through a body, a force
acting along this planned is called shear force or shearing force.
Moving loads on beams are common features of design. Many road bridges are
constructed from beam, and as such have to be designed to carry a knife edge load, or a string
of wheel loads, or a uniformly distributed load, or perhaps the worst combination of all three.
The method of solving the problem is to use influence lines.
EXPERIMENT DETAIL
Definitions of shear influence line is defined as a line representing the changes in shear force
at a section of a beam when a unit load moves on the beam.
Part 1: This Experiment examines how shear force varies at a cut section as a unit load moves
from one end to another (Figure 1). From the diagram, shear force influence line equation can
be written.
For 0 x aa shear line is given by:
Figure 4.1
Part 2: If the beam are loaded as shown in Figure 2, the shear force at the cut can be
calculated using the influence line
Shear force at cut section = F1 y1 + F2 y2 + F3 y3 ..(3)
y1, y2 and y3 are ordinates derived from the influence line in terms of x1, x2, x3, a, b and L

Load (N)
2)
Comment on the shape of the graph. What does it tell us about how shear force varies
Does the equation we used accurately predict the behavior of the beam ?
Yes, from the graph, we know that the equation was accurately helped us to find the
behaviors of the beam. The result that we obtained from the calculation was correctly same
with the reaction of the beam
6.2
EXPERIMENT 2
1) Comment on how the results of the experiments compare with those calculated using the
theory .
The result that we obtained from the table is quite different. The result of experimental shear
force was originally taken while doing the experiment compare with theoretical shear force
obtained from the calculation is different.
Therefore, maybe during the experiment being carried out, there are some errors due to
equipment experiment or environmental interference.

planes: "If a plane is passed through a body, a force acting along this plane is called a shear
force or shearing force."[2]
We can conclude from this experiment that increasing the point load will
increase the shear force . Other than that , the distance of the point also will make some
changes to shear force .
The Cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and
moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The
applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken
into consideration while designing buildings. The assumptions used in this method are that
the points of contraflexure (or points of inflection of the moment diagram) in both the vertical
and horizontal members are located at the midpoint of the member, and that the direct
stresses in the columns are proportional to their distances from the centroidal axis of the
frame.[3]
