ECIV 320 Structural Analysis I Influence Lines
LAST TIME ANALYSIS OF FORCES DUE TO LIVE LOADS • Live or Moving Loads • Variable point of Application • Temporary Loads INFLUENCE LINES Variation of Reaction, Shear, Moment or Deflection at a SPECIFIC POINT due to aconcentrated force movingon member • Common Structures • Bridges • Industrial Crane Rails • Conveyors • Floor Girders • any other structure where loads move across its span
LAST TIMEProcedures • Tabulate Values • Place UNIT LOAD at a number of fixed locations • Perform a series of static analyses to determine the value of reaction/shear/moment/deflection at the specific point. Tabulate Values • Influence Line Equations • Place UNIT LOAD at a variable location x • Perform a static analysis to determine the function of reaction/shear/moment/deflection at the specific point as a function of x.
LAST TIME HINTS: Beware of Points of Discontinuities Influence lines of statically determinate beams consist of straight line segments Place unit load at points representing the end points of these segments
Qualitative Influence Lines Muller-Breslau Principle Influence Line for a function is to the same scale as the deflected shape of the beam when the beam is acted upon by the function
