Straining Actions
1.1 Introduction
To design any structural member, it is necessary to determine the
straining actions (internal forces) that act at some critical sections.
Straining actions are generated within loaded structural members
(elements). These forces are generated within every type of element;
if they were not developed, the structure would fail. These internal
forces are known as Moment, Shear, and Normal forces. The
normal force is found in columns and beams with an axial load.
Shear and moment are found in beams and frames.
For beams, the internal forces (N, V, and M) actually represents the
resultant of the stress distribution acting over the cross-sectional
area of the beam at the cut section. Once the resultant internal forces
are known the magnitude of the stress can be determined. This
chapter will discuss briefly how to determinate these internal forces
at specified sections along beam's axis and how to draw the
variation graphically.
If the beam shown in Fig.1.3 is cut into two parts by a section s-s.

For the shown cantilever which

carries a horizontal force at a 2 kN
and an inclined force at c, a b c d e
determine the normal force N at
1m 1m 1m 1m
the sections b and d.
Solution: 8 kN
First resolve the inclined force 4 kN
2 kN 6 kN
(10 kN) to horizontal component

(10 x 3 / 5 = 6 kN) and vertical 16 kN.m
component (10x4/5 = 8 kN), then 1m 1m 1m 1m 8 kN

Example 1.2:
w = 9 kN/m
For the shown simple beam
which carries triangular a b
distributed load, determine c
the internal shear force at the 2m 4m
section c.
Solution: 27 kN
To determine the reaction,
replace the distributed load by a b
c
its equivalent point force = 4m
(9) (6) / 2 = 27kN downward. 9 kN 18 kN
The reactions are as shown in 2m 4m
the figure.

To determine the internal wx =3 kN/m

shear force at the section c, c w

keep the original distributed
load on the beam and replace 9 kN x
only the segment to the left 2m L
Note that the intensity of the
(or to the right) of c by its triangular load at the section c
is found by proportion, i.e.;
equivalent point force =(3)(2) / 2 wx/x = w /L = 9/6 = 1.5
= 3 kN. or wx = 1.5x = 1.5(2) =3 kN/m
Vc = the sum of all the vertical
forces acting to the left of c + 4(9+3)/2 =24kN
Example 1.3:
For the shown cantilever 4 kN 6 kN 5 kN
which carries three point
loads, calculate the bending a c d
b
moments at the points a, c, d, 2m 2m 2m
and b.
Solution:
- At point a: the bending moment is equal to zero.
At point a Ma = 0
- At point c: only the 4kN force is to the left of point c.
The 4kN force is at a distance = 2 m from point c.
So, the bending moment = force x distance = -4(2) = 8 kN.m
At point c Mc = 8 kN.m
- At point d: the 4kN force and the 6kN force are to the left of
point d.
The 4kN force is at a distance = 4 m from point d
The 6kN force is at a distance = 2 m from point d.
So, the bending moment = -4(4) - 6(2) = - 28 kN.m = 28 kN.m
At point d Md = 28 kN.m
- At point b: the 4kN force, the 6kN force, and the 5kN force are to
the left of point b.
The 4kN force is at a distance = 6 m from point b
The 6kN force is at a distance = 4 m from point b.
The 5kN force is at a distance = 2 m from point b.
So, the bending moment = -4(6) - 6(4) - 5(2) = 58 kN.m
At point b Mb = 58 kN.m

section (dV/dx) is equal to the ∆x
negative intensity of the Figure 1.6 small segment of
distributed load w acting on the beam
the beam at that section.
V w dx ………….. (1.2)
which states that the change in the shear between any two sections
on a beam equals the negative area under the distributed load
diagram between the two sections. If w is a curve of degree n, then
V will be a curve of degree n+1. For example, if w is uniform
(constant), V will be linear (straight line).
The second relation is:
dM
V ………….. (1.3)
dx
M V dx ………….. (1.4)
Which states that the change in the moment between the two
sections equals the area under the shear force diagram between the
two sections. If V is a curve of degree n, then M will be a curve of
degree n+1. For example, if V is linear (straight line), M will be
second degree curve (parabolic).

Shear Force Diagram, S.F.D:
- Beginning at a the 20 kN force acts
upward, so Va = +20. 20 kN 20 kN
- No load acts between a and b, so the

shear remains constant.
- At b the 30 kN force is down, so the 0 0 S.F.D
shear jumps down 30, from 20 to - -
