Bending Moment in Buttress Dams Formulas

The Bending Moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend. And is denoted by M_b. Bending Moment is usually measured using the Newton Meter for Moment of Force. Note that the value of Bending Moment is always positive.
