It has certainly been a beat since I’ve thought this much about bending moments. The good doctor’s original post on the recent Francis Scott Key bridge collapse is also worth a read.

In #StructuralEngineering #Analysis, #InfluenceLines are used to depict the variation of quantity at a particular location as the location of a #Load or #Action is changed. In the #Animation shown, we can see the change in #BendingMoment in a #StaticallyDeterminate #Beam as a unit force moves from one end to the other. The #BendingMomentDiagram and the influence line for bending moment at the centre of the left-hand span, B, are shown.
