Shear Force and Bending moment:
When a beam is subjected to a set of
loads and reactions, as a result of which
the internal forces and moments tend to
setup within the beam This internal force
is the shear force and the internal
moments are the bending moments.
For illustration, consider a beam
with a given set of loading
supported at two points A & B
giving rise to reactions at the two
supports.
Let's cut the beam into two parts & let's
assume that the resultant of loads (F) and
reactions to the left of section xx is
vertically upwards.
For equilibrium of the section, the
resultant of loads and reactions to the
right of section xx has to be equal to ''F"
but vertically downwards. This force is
known as shear force.

2. Overhanging beam:
If the span of the beam is extended
beyond it's supports, such type of
beam is known as overhanging beam.

3. Fixed Beam:
A beam whose both the ends of it's
span are fixed or built in walls is known
as fixed beam.

4. Cantilever Beam:
A beam whose span is fixed at one end
and free at the other end is known as a
cantilever beam.

Types of Loads:
1. Concentrated or point Load:
A load which is considered to act at a
point is known as a concentrated load.
Point load
2. Uniformly distributed load (UDL):
A load which is spread over a beam in a
way that the rate of loading is uniform
along the length (i.e, load per unit length
is uniform)
/m
3. Uniformly varying load (UVL) :
A load which is spread over a beam in a
way, that the rate of loading varies from
point to point along the beam Load is zero
at one end &
increases
uniformly to
the other end

Consider a cantilever beam of span "L"
fixed at end A and free at end B carrying
a point load at end B.
Consider a section X-X at a distance x from
free end B & consider the right portion of the
section.
The shear force at this section will be equal
to the resultant of forces acting on right/left
portion of the assumed section as per the
definition of shear force. But the resultant
force acting on right portion of X-X is "W"
acting in downward direction. Since W lies in
right portion of X-X, it will be considered
positive as per sign conventions of SFD.
Hence shear force at X-X is positive.
W + W
Base line
Let, Mx = Bending moment at X-X
The B.M at X-X will be given by,
Mx= - W×X (2)
The B.M will be negative as the moment due to the
load "W" will be clockwise for right portion of X-X (as
per the sign conventions of B.M) and also the beam
will bend in a manner that the convexity will be at the
top of the beam.
From eq(2), it is evident that the Bending moment at
any section between A & B is directly proportional to
the distance of section X-X from free end.
At x=0, i. e at B, B. M = 0
At x=L, i.e at A, B.M = - WL
Hence B.M follows straight line rule.

Consider a cantilever carrying a gradually varying
load 0 at free end to W per unit length at fixed
end.
Let's take a section X at a distance of x from free
end B.
Since the rate of loading for a span L is W per
unit length which means the rate of loading for
span x would be equal to W/L(x) or Wx/L per unit
length
SF at X = Total load on cantilever for a length x

The bending moment at any section
between A & C at a distance of x from end A
is given by,
M x = RA(x) = +Wb/L(x)___________(1)
This B.M will be positive as the moment of
all the forces in left portion about this
section is clockwise, i.e convexity will be at
the top.
At A, x = 0
B.M at A = 0
At C, x=a

From eq (1) it is evident that the
Bending moment varies according to
straight line law between A & C.
B.M at any section between C & B at a
distance of x from end A is given by,
Mx = RA(x) - W(x-a) = Wbx/L- Wx - Wa____(2)

Solution:
Using equilibrium equations
for calculating the reactions,
Taking moments of all the
forces about point A we get,
ΣMA = 0
R B x 8 - 4 x 4 x 4/2 = 0
8RB - 32 = 0
R B = 4 KN
RA = 16 - 4 = 12KN
FA = 12 - 4(0) = +12KN
At C, x = 4m
Fc = 12 - 4(4) = 12 - 16 = - 4KN
As the SF at A is +12KN and at point C SF is - 4KN
Also the SF between A & C varies by a straight line
which means that the value of SF at some point
between A & C is zero.
Let the point be at a
distance of x m from A
Substituting the value of
Fx = 0 in eq(i) we get,
Fx = 12 - 4(x) = 0 or 12 = 4(x) or x = 3m
