Influence Line Chap.6

This document discusses influence lines for statically determinate structures. It provides the following key points: 1. Influence lines show how internal forces (reactions, shear, moment) at a point on a structure vary with the position of a unit load applied to the structure. 2. To construct influence lines, a unit load is placed at different positions along the structure and the internal force at the specified point is calculated using statics for each load location. 3. Influence lines for determinate beams consist of straight line segments, and the minimum number of load locations needed are the end points of each segment. 4. A series of examples are provided to demonstrate how to construct influence lines for reactions

Structure Analysis I

Chapter 6
Influence Line for Staticallyy
Determinate Structures
Influence lines
• Influence lines provide a systematic
procedure of how force in a given part of
structure varies as the applied loads moves
along
l the
h structure
Procedure for Analysis
• Place a unit load at various locations
locations, x along the
member, and at each location use static to determine
the value of the function ( Reaction, Shear, Moment) at
the
h specified
ifi d point.
i

• If the
h IL for
f a vertical
i l force
f reaction
i at a point
i on a
beam is to be constructed, consider the reaction to be
positive at the point when it acts upward on the beam

• If a shear or moment IL is to be drawn for a point, take


the shear or moment at the point as +ve according to
the same sign convention used for drawing shear and
moment diagram.
di
• All statically determinate beams will have IL that
consist of straight
g line segments.
g After some practice
p
one should be able to minimize computations and
locate the unit load onlyy at points
p representing
p g the end
points of each line segment
