The problem of preparing the Influence line diagrams can be
done by applying Maxwell’s law of reciprocal deflections.
The preparation of an influence line for the interior reaction
of the two-span beam is considered.

The procedure for calculating has been to remove it from
the beam and then compute B bx due to unit load X and
then due to unit load at B and substitute their
values in the usual formula. The same procedure may be used

from which the following expression is written:

It is now evident that the unit load need only be placed at B,
and the deflections at various points across the beam
computed. Dividing each of these values by (bb ) gives the
ordinates for the influence line. If a deflection curve is plotted
for the beam for a unit load at B (support B being removed),
an influence line for may be obtained by dividing each of
the deflection ordinates by (bb ) .

To find out M , remove
B MB , and obtain rotation at B due to
external Load P=1 at X:
Next external loads are removed. Apply unit couple moment
at the support point and obtain rotation at that point
Now the total moment M B is replaced and it supplies the
moment necessary to push the members back to its original
position.

Vertical deflection at X due to unit moment couple at B is
equal to rotation at B due unit vertical force at X.

Determination of the ordinates of the Influence lines for the
positive Shear force at a section
Two equal and opposite unit forces (unit shear) are applied at
the cut section and the moment diagram is drawn.
The corresponding conjugate beam loaded with M / EI diagram
acting towards the compression side of the real beam is
shown.
The deflection ordinates on either side of the cut section X of
the real beam are normally different.
Hence, the corresponding internal moments just to the left of
and just to the right of section X ' of conjugate beam are also
different.

The internal moments M x ' and M x ' just to the left of and just

Obviously,
Finally, the ordinates of the influence lines curve for the shear
force at a section under consideration is obtained by dividing
the above moment values by the flexibility coefficient f xx at the
section of released action. (Displacement due to unit force).
