DEFINITION

An influence line is a graph of a response function of a structure as a function of the position of a downward unit load moving across the structure

MULLER-BRESLAU’S PRINCIPLE AND QUALITATIVE INFLUENCE LINES

•Developed by Heinrich Muller-Breslau in 1886.•Muler-Breslau’s principle: The influence line for a force (or moment) response function is given by the deflected shape of thereleased structure obtained by removing the restraint corresponding to the response function from the original structure and by giving the released structure a unit displacement (or rotation) at the location and in the direction of the response function, so that only the response function and the unit load perform external work.•Valid only for influence lines for response functions involving forces and moments, e.g. reactions, shears, bending moments or forces in truss members, not valid for deflections.

Qualitative Influence Lines

In many practical applications, it is necessary to determine only the general shape of the influence lines but not the numerical values of the ordinates. A diagram showing the general shape of an influence line without the numerical values of its ordinates is called a qualitative influence line. In contrast, an influence line with the numerical values of its ordinates known is referred to as a quantitative influence line.

Example 8.6Draw the influence lines for the vertical reactions at supports B and D and the shear and bending moment at point C of the beam shown in the Figure 8.9(a).

APPLICATION OF INFLUENCE LINES

Page 30: INFLUENCE LINE - GeoCities · general shape of the influence lines but not the numerical values of ... function influence line at the position of the load ... uniformly distributed

Response at a particular location due to a single moving concentrated load

• The value of a response function due to any single concentrated load can be obtained by multiplying the magnitude of the load by the ordinate of the response function influence line at the position of the load

• To determine the maximum positive value of a response function due to a single moving concentrated load, the load must be placed at the location of the maximum positive ordinate of the response function influence line, whereas to determine the maximum negative value of the response function, the load must be placed at the location of the maximum negative ordinate of the influence line.

Suppose that we wish to determine the bending moment at B when the load P is located at a distance x.MB=Py

Maximum Negative bending moment at B* Place the load P at point D* MB=-PyD

Example 9.1

For the beam shown in Fig. 9.2(a), determine the maximum upward reaction at support C due to a 50 kN concentrated live load.

From Example 8.8

Maximum upward reaction at C:

Response at a particular location due to a uniformly distributed live load

Consider, for example, a beam subjected to a uniformly distributed live load wl. Suppose that we want to determine the bending moment at B when the load is placed on the beam, from x=a to x=b.

The bending moment at B due to the load dP as

( )B ldM dPy w dx y= =

The total bending moment at B due to distributed load from x=a to x=b:

B l la aM w ydx w ydx= =∫ ∫

The value of a response function due to a uniformly distributed load applied over a portion of the structure can be obtained by multiplying the load intensity by the net area under the corresponding portion of the response function influence line.

B l la aM w ydx w ydx= =∫ ∫This equation also indicates that the bending moment at B will be maximum positive if the uniformly distributed load is placed over all those portions of the beam where the influence-line ordinates are positive and vice versa.

To determine the maximum positive (or negative) value of a response function due to a uniformly distributed live load, the load must be placed over those portions of the structure where the ordinates of the response function influence line are positive (or negative).

Example 9.2

From Example 8.8

For the beam shown in Fig. 9.4(a), determine the maximum upward reaction at support C due to a 15 kN/m uniformly distributed live load (udl).

To obtain the maximum positive value of Cy, we place the 15 kN/m udl over the portion AD of the beam, Fig. 9.4(c).

Page 37: INFLUENCE LINE - GeoCities · general shape of the influence lines but not the numerical values of ... function influence line at the position of the load ... uniformly distributed

Influence lines can also be used for determining the maximum values of response functions at particular locations of structures due to a series of concentrated loads.

Suppose that our objective is to determine the maximum positive shear at B due to the series of four concentrated loads.

During the movement of the series of loads across the entire length of the beam, the (absolute) maximum shear at B occurs when one of the loads of the series is at the location of the maximum positive ordinate of the influence line for SB.

We use a trial-and-error procedure

Example 9.4Determine the maximum axial force in member BC of the Warren truss due to the series of four moving concentrated loads shown in Fig. 9.8(a).

We move the load series from right to left, successively placing each load of the series at point B, where the maximum ordinate of the influence line for FBC is located (see Fig. 9.8(c)-(f)).

Absolute maximum response

Thus far, we have considered the maximum response that may occur at a particular location in a structure. In this section, we discuss how to determine the absolute maximum value of a response function that may occur at any location throughout a structure. Although only simply supported beams are considered in this section, the concepts presented herein can be used to develop procedures for the analysis of absolute maximum responses of other types of structures.
