Beams Subjected to Oblique Loading:

As far, we have been explained the shear force & bending moments for beams subjected to an external load system at right angles to the axis of the beam. When a beam is subjected to inclined loads, these inclined loads are resolved in horizontal & vertical direction. The vertical components (at right angles to the axis of the beam) of the loads on the beam shall introduce shear force & bending moment in the member. The horizontal components (along the axis of the beam) of the loads on the beam shall introduce axial force of thrust, that means pulls or pushes in the beam depending upon its end location.
