 Flexural Stress:
Sample
Solving for the shear and moment:

Positive shear of 14kN (upward) is

due to the reaction at A (RA)

The area in the load diagram from points

A to B is (6kN/m)(0.8m) = 4.8kN
Therefore the value of shear in point D is
(14kN – 4.8kN) = 9.2kN

The area in the load diagram from points

A to D is (6kN/m)(2m) = 12kN
Therefore the value of shear in point D is
(14kN – 12kN) = 2kN
 Flexural Stress:
Sample
Solving for the shear and moment:
Negative shear of -13kN (downward) is
due to the applied load at D of 15kN;
where 2kN – 15kN = -13kN

Shear diagram closes to zero since the

-19kN shear at point E is counteracted
by the upward reaction at E (RE)of 19kN

The area in the load diagram from points

D to E is (6kN/m)(1m) = 6kN
Therefore the value of shear in point E is
(-13kN – 6kN) = -19kN
 Flexural Stress:
Sample
Solving for the shear and moment:
The value of the moment in point D is
defined by the area in shear diagram from
points A to D taken as:
Atrapezoid = ½ (a+b)h
= ½ (14kN + 2kN)(2m) = 16kNm

Moment diagram closes to zero since the

area in shear diagram from points A to B as
added to the value of moment at D is taken as:
Atrapezoid = ½ (a+b)h
= ½ [-13kN + (-19kN)](1m) = -16kNm

ME = MD + Area of shear from D to E

ME = 16kNm + (-16kNm) = 0

The value of the moment in point B is

defined by the area in shear diagram from
points A to B taken as:
Atrapezoid = ½ (a+b)h
= ½ (14kN + 9.2kN)(0.8m) = 9.28kNm
