Shear and Moment Diagrams

• Using overall areas and integration equations.

• Similar triangles

• Best for simpler loading​ conditions.

​2. Graphical Method

• Make a cut wherever the internal loadings change.

• ​Solve for V and M with respect to the length of the beam (x).

• Best for complex loading situations​
