Which condition leads to the occurrence of a negative bending moment in a beam?
19. Which condition leads to the occurrence of a negative bending moment in a beam?
- Compression on the concave side
- Tension on the convex side
- Compression on the convex side
- Tension on the concave side
Answer
The correct answer is: B) Tension on the convex side
Explanation
When bending stresses give the convex side of the beam to display tension and the concave side shows compression, resulting in negative bending moments.
