1.0 OBJECTIVE

1.1To examine how shear force varies with an increasing point load

1.2To examine how shear force varies at the cut position of the beam for various loading condition

2.0 LEARNING OUTCOME

2.1The application the engineering knowledge in practical application

2.2To enhance technical competency in structural engineering through laboratory application.

2.3To communicate effectively in group

2.4To identify problem, solving and finding out appropriate solution through laboratory application3.0 THEORY

Figure 1Shear force at left of the section, (equation 1)Shear force at the right of the cut section, (equation 2)

Part 2:

Use this statement:

The shear force at the cut is equal to the algebraic sum of the force acting to the left or right of the cut

4.0PROCEDURES

Part 1

1. Check the Digital Force Display meter reads zero with no load.

2. Place a hanger with a 100g mass to the left of the cut.

3. Record the Digital Force Display reading in Table 1.

Shear Force at the cut (N) = Displayed Force. Repeat using any masses between 200g and 500g. Convert the mass

into a load in Newton (multiply by 9.81)

4. Calculate the theoretical Shear Force at the cut and complete Table 1

Part 2

1. Check the Digital Force Display meter zero with no load.

2. Carefully load the beam with the hangers in any positions and loads as example in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 and complete Table 2.

3. Record the Digital Force Display reading where:

Shear Force at the cut (N) = Display force

4. Calculate the support reaction (RA and RB) and calculated the

theoretical Shear Force at the cut.

2. Does the experiment proof that the shear force at the cut is equal to

the algebraic sum of the forces acting to the left or right of the cut. If

not, why?
