Objectives of Studying Shear Force Analysis (in point form):
-
To determine internal forces acting within a beam or structural member under external loads.
-
To understand how loads are transferred through a structure to its supports.
-
To identify points of maximum shear force which are critical for design and safety.
-
To assist in designing safe and efficient beams by knowing where reinforcement or strengthening is needed.
-
To help in drawing shear force and bending moment diagrams for visual understanding of load effects.
-
To ensure structural stability by preventing shear failure in beams and other members.
-
To provide a basis for material selection suitable for resisting shear stresses.
-
To support further structural analysis, such as bending moment and deflection calculations.
-
To understand real-life behavior of structures under various loading conditions.
-
To improve problem-solving and design skills in structural and civil engineering practice.
