Course Overview

Bending moment and shear force diagrams are used in the design of structures like beams and columns. It is important for engineers in the civil industry to have an established understanding of bending moment and shear force diagrams as it helps in the optimization of structural designs. This reduces the chance of failures, and also cuts down on the overall weight of the building. Skill-Lync offers this course to take engineers through the various methods used to obtain and create bending moment and shear force diagrams with loading conditions that represent real-life scenarios.

By taking this course, learners will…

  • Understand the closed-form solutions and approximation methods available for obtaining bending moment and shear force diagrams for beams and frames. 
  • Understand the differences in shear forces and bending moments in a structure based on the type of loading condition.
  • Get hands-on experience with ETABS, a software tool used for generating bending moment and shear force diagrams. 
  • Complete projects that require a theoretical and practical understanding of how bending moment and shear force diagrams are used in the industry.

Who can enroll in this course?

Students and working professionals with a background in civil engineering can take this course.

Week 3 - Introduction to Methods of Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Beams and Analysis of Propped Cantilever Beams

A structure is said to be statically indeterminate when the equilibrium equations alone are not enough for calculating the forces. Such statically indeterminate structures can be analysed using two methods, stiffness method and force method. It is important to understand the concepts of indeterminacy in structures and equilibrium equations to advance in this field.

Week 4 - Introduction to Internal Hinges in Beams and Two Span Continuous Beams

A beam that has more than two supports is called a continuous beam. A continuous beam that consists of two single-span beams connected to each other by internal hinges is known as a two-span continuous beam. Unwanted moment forces can be avoided by using hinges. It is important for learners to understand how two span continuous beams with internal hinges are analyzed.

Week 5 - Introduction to Influence Line Diagrams

Influence line diagrams help determine the site of loading for a particular structure by capturing the applied load. Most often, a structure is subjected to concentrated moving loads. Concentrated loads are applied at a specific point. If the point of application varies with time, it is called concentrated moving load. It is important to understand the concepts involved in influence line diagrams and moving loads.

Week 8 - Introduction to Portal Frames

Portal frames are low-rise structures in which vertical supports and horizontal beams are connected using fixed joints. A portal structure is a wide-span, weather proof structure that can be constructed within a shorter span of time. It is important for learners to understand the construction of various types of portal frame structures.
