Chapter 6 of Hibbeler’s Structural Analysis (9th ed.) focuses on influence lines for determinate structures and applications to moving loads. This chapter develops methods to construct influence lines for reactions, shear forces, bending moments, and other response functions, then uses those influence lines to determine maximum effects from concentrated and distributed moving loads (e.g., trains, vehicles).
Beams: Calculating reactions, shear, and bending moments at a specific section.
: e.g., "Influence Line Analysis of a Statically Determinate Beam/Truss".
In the 9th edition, Chapter 6 is typically titled "Structural Analysis of Trusses" or "Trusses" (depending on the edition’s exact indexing; in many Hibbeler editions, Chapter 6 covers Trusses using the method of joints and method of sections).
