How to calculate sfd and bmd for a cantilever beam

Construction Software

This construction video is based on SFD (shear force diagram) and BMD (bending moment diagram) of a cantilever beam. Shear force and bending moment diagram of simply supported beam are drawn by figuring out the value of shear force and bending moment initially.

Shear force and bending moment values are computed at supports and at points where load differs. Study of shear force and bending moment induced are very crucial for the purpose of design.

Both shear force and bending moment are driven in beam with the aim of balancing outward load operating on it.

SFD and BMD can be blueprinted devoid of ascertaining support reactions as it is a cantilever beam. However, values of SF and BM are substantiated at the support if support reactions are identified.

Watch the video to learn in detail.
