Beam is a structural member whose lateral dimensions are much smaller than the longitudinal dimension and used to carry loads perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The beams are generally used in buildings, bridges, trusses, etc., Copy the link given below and paste it in new browser window to get more information on SFD Load Diagram Examples:- http://www.transtutors.com/homework-help/mechanical-engineering/bending-moment-and-shear-force/sfd-load-diagram-examples.aspx

3.  Beam - structural member whose lateral dimensions are much
smaller than the longitudinal dimension
- carry loads perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

4.  Cantilever beam
 Simply supported beam
 Overhanging beam
 Fixed beam
 Continuous beam
 Propped cantilever beam

5.  Shear Force
 Bending Moment
 Sign Convention
 Shear Force Diagrams
 Bending Moment Diagrams

8. A simply supported beam of span 4 m is loaded with an uniformly
distributed load of 3 kN/m as shown in figure. Draw the shear force and
bending moment diagrams.
