INFLUENCE LINES FOR


DETERMINATE STRUCTURES
Prepared by Engr. Jason Lim
INFLUENCE LINES
An influence line represents the
variation of either the reaction, shear,
moment, or deflection at a specific
point in a member as a concentrated
force moves over the member. Once
this line is constructed, one can tell at a
glance where the moving load should be
placed on the structure so that it
creates the greatest influence at the
specified point
CONSTRUCTING INFLUENCE LINES
TABULATED VALUES
Using the principle of statics, tabulating the reaction, shear and moment of a point given a varying load
distances.

INFLUENCE-LINE EQUATIONS
A method that involves the use of static equilibrium equations to solve for the reaction, internal
shear, and bending moment as the moving unit load traverses the beam positioned at different
poinst within the span

GRAPHICAL METHOD (MÜLLER-BRESLAU PRINCIPLE)


A method that uses deflected diagrams of beams after removing the constraints and letting the body
behave as a rigid body obeying the constraints of remaining supports.

APPLICATION OF INFLUENCE LINES
LOADINGS - Once the influence line for a function (reaction,shear or moment) has been
constructed, it will be then possible to position then live loads on the beam which will
produce the maximum value of the function.

CONCENTRATED LOAD - the value of the function can be found by multiplying the
ordinate of the influence line at the position x by the magnitude of F

UNIFORM LOAD - the value of the function cause by a uniform distributed load is
simply the area under the influence line for the function multiplied by the intensity of
the uniform load
SAMPLE PROBLEM 4
Determine the maximum positive shear that can be developed at point C in the beam
shown due to a concentrated moving load of 4000 lb and a uniform moving load of
2000 lb/ft
SAMPLE PROBLEM 4

2000 lb/ft
