Fig. 18. it is necessary to measure the areas under the shearing-force curve up to aseries of chosen stations. These areas are then plotted on a base repre-senting length, and the resulting curve of bending moments is generally ofthe form indicated in fig. 18. … Fig. 19. The determination of shearing-force and bending-moment curves is verymuch simplified by the use of the integraph. It is convenient in this caseto employ a curve of loads (see fig. 19). Any ordinate of this curve represents the difference between the weightand buoyancy over one foot of the…
