PROBLEM DEFENITION

A Barge of dimension 150m 30m 20m and thickness 5mm is loaded as given in diagram below.
Calculate the shear force diagram for this loading.arrangement

Given data
density of barge material = 7800 kg/m3
density of cargo = 2400 kg/m3

4M
2M
1M
4M

Assumptions
1) Every region in the barge can be treated as a cantilever beam
2) All forces acting upwards(including shear force) are treated as positive and all acting down as negative .
3) The partitions for different regions are dimensionless.

SOLUTION SET
Weight of empty barge =
=
=

volume of barge density of barge material


( 150 30 20 - 149.95 29.95 19.95) 7800 9.81
30.952 MN

Weight of empty barge /unit length =

0.2603 MN/metre run

weight of cargo material = 29.95 29.95 (4+2+1+4+2) 2400 9.81


=
274.547 MN/m

Total weight of ship = 274.547 + 30.952


= 305.499 MN

(which is nothing but equal to buoyant force)

Buoyant force acting per unit length = 2.03666 MN/ metre run

Calculation of loading at various regions


Divide the different loading parts into five regions as shown below.
