Definition of a Beam
A beam is a bar subject to forces or
couples that lie in a plane containing the
longitudinal section of the bar. According
to determinacy, a beam may be
determinate or indeterminate.
Statically Determinate
Beams
Statically determinate
beams are those beams in
which the reactions of the
supports may be
determined by the use of
the equations of static
equilibrium. The beams
shown below are examples
of statically determinate
beams.
Statically Indeterminate Beams
If the number of reactions exerted upon a beam exceeds
the number of equations in static equilibrium, the beam is
said to be statically indeterminate. In order to solve the
reactions of the beam, the static equations must be
supplemented by equations based upon the elastic
deformations of the beam.

To draw the Shear Diagram:
•In segment AB, the shear is uniformly
distributed over the segment at a
magnitude of -30 kN.
•In segment BC, the shear is uniformly
distributed at a magnitude of 26 kN.
•In segment CD, the shear is uniformly
distributed at a magnitude of -24 kN.

To draw the Shear Diagram:
•For segment AB, VAB = 114 - 10x is linear; at x = 0, VAB =
14 kN; at
x = 2 m, VAB = 94 kN.
•VBC = 34 - 10x for segment BC is linear; at x = 2 m, V BC =
14 kN; at x = 10 m, VBC = -66 kN. When VBC = 0, x =
3.4 m thus VBC = 0 at 1.4 m from B.
