AnswersDriveA bending moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element causing the element to bend. The most common or simplest structural element subjected to bending moments is the beam. Beams can also have one end fixed and one end simply supported.
1
Why is there no moment at a hinge?
There is, however, no resistance towards any rotation within the supports, which means that there is no resisting moment on these points. As a result, the bending moment at simply and roller end supports in a beam are zero in this case, unlike in a fixed support where rotation is totally prevented.
2
What is point of Contraflexure in beams?
In a bending beam, a point is known as a point of contraflexure if it is a location at which no bending occurs. In a bending moment diagram, it is the point at which the bending moment curve intersects with the zero line. In other words where the bending moment changes its sign from negative to positive or vice versa.
3
What is meant by pure bending?
Pure bending is a condition of stress where a bending moment is applied to a beam without the simultaneous presence of axial, shear, or torsional forces. Pure bending occurs only under a constant bending moment (M) since the shear force (V), which is equal to , has to be equal to zero.

What is a one way slab?
BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE WAY SLAB AND TWO WAY SLAB: 1. In one way slab the slabs are supported by the beams on the two opposite sides. In two way slab the slabs are supported on all the four sides . In one way slab the ratio of Longer span to shorter span is equal or greater than 2.
5
What is meant by twisting moment?
Torsion is the twisting of a beam under the action of a torque (twisting moment). It is systematically applied to screws, nuts, axles, drive shafts etc, and is also generated more randomly under service conditions in car bodies, boat hulls, aircraft fuselages, bridges, springs and many other structures and components.
6
What is a cantilever beam?
A cantilever is a beam anchored at only one end. The beam carries the. load to the support where it is forced against by a moment and shear stress. Cantilever construction allows for overhanging structures without external bracing. Cantilevers can also be constructed with trusses or slabs.
7
What is the moment of the force?
The turning effect of a force is known as the moment. It is the product of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the pivot or point where the object will turn.
8
What is bending moment of inertia?
"Area Moment of Inertia" is a property of shape that is used to predict deflection, bending and stress in beams. "Polar Moment of Inertia" as a measure of a beam's ability to resist torsion - which is required to calculate the twist of a beam subjected to torque.
9
What is the bending stress?
Bending stress is the normal stress that is induced at a point in a body subjected to loads that cause it to bend. When a load is applied perpendicular to the length of a beam (with two supports on each end), bending moments are induced in the beam.
10
What do you mean by Moment of resistance?
Definition : The moment of resistance of the concrete section is the moment of couple formed by the total tensile force (T) in the steel acting at the centre of gravity of reinforcement and the total compressive force (C) in the concrete acting at the centre of gravity (c.g.) of the compressive stress diagram.
11
What is positive bending moment?
Positive Bending Moment. Simply supported beam loaded from the top. In a more strict sense, positive bending is a sagging beam. Positive bending is whenever the beam tends to sag downwards. Negative bending bows upwards - called hogging.
12
What is the force of torsion?
Torsion occurs when an object, such as a bar with a cylindrical or square cross section (as shown in the figure), is twisted. The twisting force acting on the object is known as torque, and the resulting stress is known as Shear stress.
13
What is the unit of moment of inertia?
The amount of torque needed to cause any given angular acceleration (the rate of change in angular velocity) is proportional to the moment of inertia of the body. Moment of inertia may be expressed in units of kilogram meter squared (kg. m2) in SI units and pound-foot-second squared (lb.
14
What is meant by an axial force?
If the load on a structure is applied through the center of gravity of its cross section, it is called an axial load or that would be force applied to the lengthwise centerline of an object. Axial force is the compression or tension force of the member.
15
What do you mean by simply supported beam?
A simply supported beam is a type of beam that has pinned support at one end and roller support at the other end. Depending on the load applied, it undergoes shearing and bending. It is the one of the simplest structural elements in existence.
16
What is the moment in physics?
Moments. A moment is the turning effect of a force around a fixed point called a pivot. For example, this could be a door opening around a fixed hinge or a spanner turning around a fixed nut. The size of a moment depends on two factors: the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force.
17
What is shear in civil engineering?
Shear is a directional word referring to forces or stresses. A shear stress within an object will occur when a force parallel to the plane causes one plane of the material to want to slip against another, thus deforming the material.
18
What is the section modulus?
Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members. Other geometric properties used in design include area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and moment of inertia and polar moment of inertia for stiffness.
19
What is the slope of the beam?
Deflection of a beam: The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is the distance between its position before and after loading. Slope of a beam: slope at any section in a deflected beam is defined as the angle in radians which the tangent at the section makes with the original axis of the beam.
