Hi,I am trying to find out how to decide the direction of moment (clockwise or anticlockwise) for a fixed end beam (for example).
As far as I know the direction is towards the side of the beam which is compressed.
The link below shows some examples with directions of moments.
Can someone explain to me why the directions are like this?
