1.0 INTRODUCTION

A beam is a member that is in a slender shape and the load imposed on it will act perpendicular.
Such support also affects the flexibility of the beam. There are several types of support for
beams, namely simply supported beam, cantilevered beam, and overhanging beam. The load
response and the beam support will affect the internal shear force and bending moment, it
differs at each point along the axis of the beam.

1.1 Shear Force

Shear force is defined as the transverse force to a beam on a particular part that tends to cause
it to shear on that part. The force applied perpendicular to the surface on the beam and opposite
to the balancing force acting in the opposite direction. This results in shear stresses. It looks
like one part of the surface is pushed in one direction, while the other part is pushed in the
opposite direction to compensate for it. (Krunal Rajput, 2019). Shear force, V at a section is
the total algebra force taken only at one side of the section. Any section can be taken to be
totaled provided that both sections must have the same values and they follow the marking
direction. So by using the shear force diagram, the shear force acting along the beam can be
seen more clearly.

Figure 1.1 Internal shear forces and bending moments acting on the beam.

1.2 Shear Stress

Transverse loads bend beams by inducing axial tensile and compressive normal strains in the
beam’s x-direction. In addition, it cause shear effects that tend to slide vertical planes
tangentially to one another as depicted in Figure 1.2. The stresses τxy associated with this
shearing effect add up to the vertical shear force we have been calling V , and we now seek to
understand how these stresses are distributed over the beam’s cross section. The shear stress
on vertical planes must be accompanied by an equal stress on horizontal planes since τxy =
τyx, and these horizontal shearing stresses must become zero at the upper and lower surfaces

4
of the beam unless a traction is applied there to balance them. Hence they must reach a
maximum somewhere within the beam (Barnhart, and Goldsmith, 2000)

7.0 DISCUSSION

The type of beam used for the experiment is an overhanging beam that has two support pins at
the end and middle of the beam. The beam characteristics are statically determinate because
the equations of the two sides are balanced. In addition, the type of load applied to the beam is
a point load of 4 loads applied. Each such load is different by case (case 1, case 2, and case 3).

The value of the shear force at position 300mm from support was calculated first before the
experiment was carried out. The shear forces for the first, second, and third cases were 0.42N,
0.33N, and 0.31N respectively while, for the experimental shear forces were 0.50N, 0.40N, and
0.30N, respectively. There is a difference for the calculated shear force with the experimental
shear force. The difference may be due to an error that occurred during the experiment such as
the digital force display was not emptied properly before the load was placed and the load was
not placed in its correct position.

Since the shear force value for the experiment and calculated and each case is different, so the
shear stress value will also be different. The differences are shown in Table 7.1. The shear force
is the result of a transverse shear stress distribution that acts over the beam’s cross section. Due
to complimentary property of shear, this stress will also create corresponding longitudinal shear
stress that acts along the length of the beam. Without reducing the external load applied
perpendicular to the beam, shear stress can be reduced by installing fasteners such as nails,
bolts, welding material, or glue. So it can keep the component parts from sliding relative to
each other.

8.0 CONCLUSION

In conclusion, by performing this experiment, it is possible to identify the shear force and shear
stress that acts on the beam after the load is applied to it. In addition, it is also possible to see
the difference in the value of the shear force when the applied load is different for the three
cases. In addition, after the shear force diagram is drawn, the relationship between the shear
force and the external load can also be observed.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

It refers to the bending of the beam or any structure upon the action of the arbitrary load. It is
a degree of bending effect emerged when opposite force follows up on the beam. Normally a
moment prevails when a force acts in perpendicular manner at a specific separation causing a
rotational motion. When a moment acts on the beam and the beam tends to bend about its
supports, then that moment is called as bending moment. It is expressed as the sum of the
moments acting along the beam. Maximum bending moment in the beam occurs at the point
of maximum stress. Also, maximum bending moment will be at the point where shear force
changes its sign i.e., zero. Bending moment in a beam can be illustrated using bending moment
diagram in which the values of bending moments are plotted in the vertical axis and the beam
distance from the left in the horizontal axis.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

To determine the bending moment and bending stress of the beam at the cut-section

3.0 LITERATURE REVIEW

3.1 Theory

Beams = A structural element which is designed and used to bear high load of structure and
other external load is called beam. There are many different of types of beams such as
cantilever beam, simply supported beam and overhanging beam.

Bending of Beams = When an external load or the structural load applied in beam is large
enough to displace the beam from its present place, then that deflection of beam from its present
place, then that deflection of beams from its resent axis is called bending of beam.

Bending Moment = In simple words bending moment is the product of force applied on beam
with the distance between the point of application of force and fixed end of the beam. Bending
Moments are rotational forces within the beam that cause bending. At any point within a beam,
the Bending Moment is the sum of each external force multiplied by the distance that is
perpendicular to the direction of the force.

Internal Forces = The forces arising to hold bodies together (internal stress is a form of an
internal force).

19
External Forces = Arise from contact or gravitational attraction (point and distributed loading,
and weight).

Deflection = Displaced under a load (refer to an angle or a distance).

Simply Supported Beam = A type of beam that has pinned support at one end and roller support
at the other end. Depending on the load applied, it undergoes shearing and bending.

7.0 DISCUSSION

1. Compare your calculations with laboratory findings.


From the laboratory experiment, for load cases 1 the value bending moment is 124Nmm,
for load cases 2 the value bending moment is 120Nmm and for load cases 3 the value
bending moment is 130Nmm. Compare with using theory method, for load cases 1 the
value for bending moment is 121.6Nmm, for load cases 2 the value bending moment is
114.6Nmm and for load cases 3 the value for bending moment is 128.6Nmm. Comparison
between the laboratory results and theoretical results, there is small difference for the value
that might be cause of some error.

2. From Table 2.1, determine the shear force at the load cell, and the bending moment at the
cut section. Compare your calculations with laboratory findings

The value for laboratory and calculation are close but still have different that maybe cause
of the error while conduction the laboratory. But by the data obtain, proves that the theory
of bending moments can be proved by an experiment conducted in the laboratory.

3. Discuss the outcome from question 2a(ii) in terms of the accuracy of the testing, and the
relationships between the external forces and bending moment. You may use any type of
graphical illustrations in your discussions.

The experiment's findings on the relationship between external forces and bending moment
are displayed below. The computation and laboratory results for external forces (Vx) and
bending moment were compared (Mx). Unfortunately for the calculation part, the
computation and laboratory results are not same but somehow the value range shows a lot
of difference because of instrument error occurs in laboratory. External forces cause shear

27
forces, and the bending moment is the result of the shear forces. Selecting the left and right
of the cross section along the length of the beam yields both results. Furthermore, in the
laboratory, the bending moment is equal to the total of each external force multiplied by
the 125mm arm distance of the lever, and the equation is used to determine the bending
moment. As a result, with the value we calculate between the external forces and the
bending moment, we may get very accurate findings from the experiment

4. Calculate and sketch bending stress distribution at the cut-section from any load cases.
Using similar cross section from e-LAB 1. Discuss the important of bending stress in real
design, relates and justify it with your laboratory findings.

This concept bending stress in real design is it can be used to calculate where, and how
much bending may occur when forces are applied. This can be proven by our experiment
that may bend when loaded at any point along its length depend on the different load at the
beam

8.0 CONCLUSION

In a nutshell, we may determine that the numbers acquired by laboratory and manual
computation approaches differ substantially. This is because there is a chance of parallax and
systematic mistakes while doing the test in the lab. This experiment shows how a laboratory
test may be used to establish bending moment theory. It is also possible to identify factors that
impact the bending moment's value. In addition, this experiment accomplished all of the
objectives of finding the bending moment of each load scenario and the bending stress at the
cut part.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Buckling is a mathematical instability which caused structural failure. It happens when both
axial and bending forces caused great stresses in the column. The behaviour of the columns was
investigated bymathematician Leonhard Euler, and he derived the Euler’s equation to predict
the buckling action. The Euler’s equation is given as below.

According to the Euler’s equation, the factors affecting the buckling behavior are modulus
elasticity of material, area of moment of inertia of the cross section of tested specimen, buckling
length of column and the conditions of end of support. In this buckling test, the maximum force
of a column can support before it collapses is determined and recorded. The experiment was
repeated using several types of supports and different material. The experimental value is then
compared to the calculated value to prove the Euler’s equation.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

 From above calculations, 𝐼𝑥𝑥 < 𝐼𝑦𝑦, which leads to 𝑃𝑐𝑟𝑥<𝑃𝑐𝑟𝑦.


 This means that the aluminum strut tends to buckle at the x- axis rather
thanthe y-axis, because the value of 𝐼𝑥𝑥 is smaller than the 𝐼𝑦𝑦.
 This can be proved in the E- Lab 4 experiment video.
 Therefore, the values of 𝐼𝑥𝑥 is choose to calculate the end restraint conditions

6.0 RESULTS AND ANALYSIS

COMPARATION OF THE RESULTS

55
Based on the three types of the graphs from different strut length which are 370mm, 470mm
and 520mm, the results between the calculation and laboratory have different results and
patterns. It shows that strut length is undirectly proportional to Pcr. The higher strut length, the
lower Pcr will be. End restrain for fixed-fixed have the highest Pcr compared to pinned-pinned
and pinned-fixed based on the graphs.

56
3. Using the Euler buckling curve shows in Figure below, identify the classification of the
compression member for each aluminum strut length at respective end restraint conditions.

7.0 DISCUSSION

Buckling is a circumstance when a column experiences at load force along its axis and bends
caused by the loading force. Buckling will cause the column to bend, lose its stability and
sudden failure will occur. In this experiment, three different material, steel and aluminum were
analyzed to enquire the maximum load on specimen before it fails in three different cases,
which is pined-pined column, fixed-pined column and fixed-fixed column. Percentage errors
ranging from 20% to 73% are obtained. There are several factors that contributed to the

57
differences in theoretical and experimental result. The percentage error calculated ranges
between 20-73% which is quite large as the experiment was carried out using mechanical
equipment. The results for both specimens show smaller percentage difference for pined-pined
column configuration, the first test done, and increase in order to when the last test is done.
This is because the experiment was repeated with the same specimen for each configuration
and the specimen suffered fatigue as it continuously gets pressured to critical load. A new
specimen of a similar dimension must be used for each different configuration to get more
accurate experimental value. Another reason of deviation from experimental value is due the
error which happens when the specimen is not fasten to the specimen holder properly. This will
be the source of sideways force which is not directly through the axial load and will cause
variance from actual critical load. Another error is hysteresis error which is visible when force
meter reacts slow for the initial input of force. These two errors can be reduced by repeating
the experiment several times and get an average. However, when we compare the theoretical
and experimental value for this buckling analysis there will definitely be a certain amount of
variance as the formulas used to calculate the theoretical value were derived based on an ideal
column. This means it has been assumed that the column is perfectly uniform and loaded
consistent throughout the arrangement of material. In the actual experiment, the specimens in
most cases are not ideal and have uneven distribution of forces around the column.

8.0 CONCLUSION

As conclusion, we can conclude that out of the three configurations which are the pined-pined
column, fixed-pined column, and fixed-fixed column, fixed-fixed column can withstand the
largest critical load. By comparing the deflection shape of steel specimen and aluminum
specimen, steel has the lesser deflection than aluminum when maximum load is applied. Hence,
this indicates that steel can sustain a heavier load and it is stiffer compared to aluminum. In
short, steel column with fixed-fixed configuration can say to be the best material and the best
column design to support a greater load while not easily experience buckling failure. In
addition, the percentage errors calculated by using the experimental values and theoretical
values are ranging from 20% to 73%, indicating the data obtained is less reliable and
improvements are needed for this experiment.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

In concrete construction, the use of steel reinforcement is important to be rejected voltage


action. It is mandatory to verify the true strength (yield strength, fy) steel material through
stress test before construction. The Universal Testing Machine (UTM) is widely used in
identifying mechanical properties (such as Modulus of Elasticity) of reinforced steel.
Determination of yield strength will lead to elastic and plastic welding area, where the
elongation of the material is measured by the extensometer equipment attached to the specimen.

The tensile test is the most commonly performed and is the simplest among of all
themechanical tests. In this experiment, a specimen is subjected to a gradually increasing
uniaxial load until failure occurs. The typical testing procedure is to deform or stretch the
material at a constant speed. A circular and rectangular cross section will be used as tested
specimen which is madeof steel and copper or aluminium. The load deformation data is
recorded during the experiment so this data can be plotted once the procedure is complete.

2.0 OBJECTIVES

i. To study the deformation characteristics of the aluminium reinforcement bar.


ii. To investigate mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength of reinforcement bar.
iii. To observe the stress- strain curve relationship of the aluminium reinforcement bar.

3.0 THEORY

Tensile loading on material causes the material to undergo deformations. The kind of
deformation can either be elastic or plastic deformation. The elastic deformation is
characterised by linear relationship between the extension and applied load. Engineering stress
σ is given by the ratio of load applied to the original cross sectional area A, while engineering
strain ε is given by change in length (extension) ∆ L over the original length L whereby,

σ = P/A

ε = ∆ L/ L

1. The software for acquiring and recording data was activated and the material
correspondingto the specimen was selected in the software.
2. By zeroing the load cell, the Instron Load Frame could only be set to measure only the
tensileload on each specimen inserted.
3. The jaws were adjusted to fit the size of the specimens. This was followed by attaching
theextensometers on the reduced sections of the gauge specimen.
4. To avoid slipping of the specimens, the scroll wheel was used in preloading the machine.
5. After the specimen was removed, the extensometers were adjusted to zero values and
thetest commenced to measure strain of the specimen.
6. The data was recorded by the software on the spreadsheet. The data was later retrieved
forcalculation and plotting of the graphs.

4. Discuss whether the strength of this steel rebar is satisfied to the standard code of practice.
Provide the design requirement from the standard code of practice and provideall related
clauses on this requirement.

Based on tension testing, the strength ratio of the bar is 1.10 which is should not be less than
1.25. The requirement is based on the assumption that a capability of a structural member to
develop inelastic rotation capacity is a function of the length of the yield region. It can stated
that the reinforcement bar cannot reach ductility requirement. The level of structuralductility
required depends upon the application and the structural behavior assumed in the design
method used. So, for further application of high strength steel bar as a reinforcing bar for

72
reinforcement concrete, it needs material improvement especially in the chemical composition
to gain higher tensile and yield ratio whereby the higher strength ratio of steel bars, the
structures might have better ductility.

BS EN 1990 can be considered as the document of the structural Eurocode system as it


establishes the principles and requirements for the reliability, serviceability and durability of
structures. It also describes the basis for structural design and verification. The main sections
of BS EN 1990 includes basic requirements, principles of limit state design, basic variables,
structural analysis and design assisted by testing also the verification by the partial safety factor
method.

7.1 Open-Ended Question

1. What are the main purposes to conduct laboratory/ experiment on the structural members?
Discuss.

The key objective of the structures laboratory is to display and analyse the behaviour of
structural elements in an experimental setting. It's main objective is to determine the effect of
loads on the physical structures and their components. Tests of structural members to
destruction are carried out to effectively show structural behaviour. Also to know the factors
that affect the tensile strength and the compressive strength of a structural member. Steel beams
plastic bending capacity, as well as the ultimate strength of steel tensile members and steel
beam column connections in supporting courses, have all been tested. The structural
engineering laboratory is additionally equipped with facilities for conducting experimental
research.

2. How significant the outcome from laboratory/ experiment is assuredly proven to be as a


reliable finding? Discuss.

As we expected the findings/outcome were significant according to the specific response,


theoretically and also standard measurements in various labs. Our laboratory procedure is
designed to yield specified results and whether or not we obtain those findings determines the
quality of our work in part. In all types of experiment, we need to concentrate our efforts on
improvise the methods and results which was more to the effective of our report.To obtain the
accurate outcomes, should review the laboratory notebook to avoid errors in datarecording, data
transcription to spreadsheet, and any calculations we've performed.

73
3. What are the alternative methods to provide reliable finding without doing laboratory/
experiment? Discuss.

Other than conducting laboratory experiment we may also use alternative method by using
software such as Staadpro. LinPro and so on. This kind of software can easily provide the
finding variables once we insert the data we collected from the site. Besides that, it is most
common method to evaluate a structure with high precision and low calculation time.

8.0 CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, this experiment is to determine on how something will react when a


reinforcement bar is pulled apart when a force is applied to it in tension. Tensile testing is one
of the simplest and most widely used mechanical test. Hooke’s law can define the characteristic
the behavior of material based on data of stress and strain curve by using universal testing
machine. By measuring the force required to elongate a specimen to breaking point, material
properties can be determined that will allow designers to predict how materialsand
products will behave in their intended applications. In this experiment we intended to assess
the stress-strain behaviour in mild and high yield steels which is 596 Mpa. Strain hardening or
work hardening in mild steel occurs at higher values of stress. In the graph, we can seen that
the curve drop downwards after necking has occurred. Then finally it reached thefracture point
where it breakup due to ultimate stress point. From our data, we can conclude that data from
experiment is more accurate since we do the test directly on lab.
