SFD and BMD 19 - 07 - 2021

1. The document discusses shear forces and bending moments in beams. It provides an example of a cantilever beam with a triangular load and calculates the shear force diagram and bending moment diagram. 2. It also analyzes a beam with a trapezoidal load, dividing it into triangular and rectangular loads to find the support reactions, shear force, and bending moment at a point 5m from the support. 3. Key steps are given to analyze beams for shear forces and bending moments such as drawing free body diagrams, applying equilibrium equations, and using sign conventions to determine the diagrams.
