In addition to supporting fixed gravity loads (Dead Load), structures must also support gravity loads that can vary in magnitude and position (Live Loads).
To design the components of a structure, it is important to understand how to place live loads to produce the maximum response for important design quantities (e.g. support reactions, internal shear, bending moment, axial force).
Why Do We Construct Influence Lines ?
The Influence Line for a response quantity is a tool to help place live loads to find the maximum response

Construction of Influence Lines
The overhanging beam shown has a fixed support at A, a roller support at C and an internal hinge at B. Construct influence lines for:
1. The roller support at C;2. The vertical reaction at the fixed support at A:3. The moment reaction at the fixed support at A
