1. An overhanging beam ABC is simply supported at A and B over a span of 6m

and BC overhangs by 3m. If the supported span carries a central concentrated

load of 8kN and the overhang BC carries 2kN/m, draw the shear force and

bending moment diagrams.

2. Draw the shear force diagram and bending moment diagram for the beam

shown below

3. A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in the figure below. Draw the

shear force diagram and bending moment diagram.

4. A cantilever beam of 2 m long carries a uniformly distributed load of 1.5 kN/m

over a length of 1.6 m from the free end. Draw shear force and bending moment

diagrams for the beam.

5. A simply supported beam of length 5m carries a uniformly increasing load of 800

N/m run at one end to 1600 N/m run at the other end. Draw the S.F. and B.M.

diagrams for the beam.

6. Draw the shear force and bending moment diagram of the structural member

shown in the diagram.

7. A horizontal beam 10 m long is carrying a uniformly distributed load of 1 kN/m. The beam is supported on two supports 6 m apart. raw the shear force and bending moment diagrams.

8. A simply supported beam of length 5m carries a uniformly increasing load of 800

N/m run at one end to 1600 N/m run at the other end. Draw the S.F. and B.M.

diagrams for the beam.

9. Draw the shear force diagram and bending moment diagrams for the following

beam

10. Draw the shear force diagram, bending moment diagram and locate the

maximum bending moment for the beam given below

11. Draw the SFD and BMD for the an overhanging beam of 10m length with the

supports 8m apart and an equal overhang of 1m in both the sides. The beam

carries an udl of 2 KN/m in its overhanging portions and a concentrated load of

100 KN at its centre. Identify the points of contraflexure.

12. Check whether the given loading diagram, shear force diagram and bending

moment diagram is correct.
