Axial, Shear & Moment Diagrams

Axial, shear, and bending moment diagrams (AFD, SFD, and BMD) show the internal forces and moments along a structural member. They help determine the material, size, and type of a member given a set of loads it can support without structural failure. Keeping a consistent sign convention is extremely important! We are going to define the positive […]
