Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Review of Statics

Course subject(s) 4. Bending Moment in Beams

The activity presented in this topic will be an exercise in determining shear force and bending moment diagrams for a given beam problem. If you need to, please refer to Chapter 6.1 of the textbook to refresh your memory on this topic. You are expected to know, understand, and be able to determine shear force and bending moment diagrams in this course.

If you require a more in-depth review of the construction of shear force and bending moment diagrams, the following set instructional videos may be useful:

1. Generating Shear and Moment Equations

2. Constructing shear and moment diagrams from shear and moment equations

3. Constructing shear and moment diagrams without shear and moment equations
