Why is bending moment maximum When shear force is zero?

The maximum bending moment occurs in a beam, when the shear force at that section is zero or changes the sign because, at point of contra flexure the bending moment is zero. Explanation: The positive bending moment in a section is considered because it causes convexity downwards.

What is the purpose of finding out the maximum shear force and bending moment that a beam may experience as it supports loads?

Knowing the distribution of the shear force and the bending moment in a beam is essential for the computation of stresses and deformations.

When bending moment is maximum the value of shear force will be?

zero
Bending moment is maximum where shear force is zero or its changes sign (positive to negative or vice-versa).

What happens when bending moment is zero?

At the ends of a simply supported beam the bending moments are zero. At the wall of a cantilever beam, the bending moment equals the moment reaction. At the free end, the bending moment is zero. At the location where the shear force crosses the zero axis the corresponding bending moment has a maximum value.

Why do we use shear force and bending moment?

Shear and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear force and bending moment at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.

What is the point of maximum bending moment?

Explanation: The maximum bending moment occurs in a beam, when the shear force at that section is zero or changes the sign because at point of contra flexure the bending moment is zero.

Why shear force is maximum at support?

Vertical shear forces are generated in a beam by the applied loads and by the support reaction. The reactions push up while the load pushes down. In most cases the maximum value of shear occurs close to the supports.

Why and where the maximum spacing is provided for shear reinforcement stirrups in beams?

Maximum Spacing of Vertical Stirrups in a rectangle beam is at its Midspan. It’s because the Shear force at the Midspan is very less and We use Vertical Stirrups to counter shear force. The spacing of Vertical Stirrups is minimum near the Supports due to Maximum shear force at the Supports.

What is the meaning of bending moment in structural engineering?

bending moment of any structural decides the capacity of the structure against flexural action. For ex, bending moment or moment carrying capacity of a beam determines the depth of the beam. bending moment in a slab determines the extent of reinforcement required.

What determines the extent of reinforcement required in a beam?

For ex, bending moment or moment carrying capacity of a beam determines the depth of the beam. bending moment in a slab determines the extent of reinforcement required.

Is shear stress check necessary for deep beams?

Checking of shear stress is just a formality unless a heavy point load is delivered close to the support. In deep beams the shear capacity is so huge that even this formality is not really necessary. Shear stress will be petty. So only BM and deflection are the design considerations.

How do you find the moment of a beam?

The bending equation M/I = f/y = E/R ( M=bending moment, I= Second moment of area, f= stress acting on fibre at distance y from neutral axia, E = elastic modulus, R = radius of curvature) defines the relation between moment and size of a beam.
