Static Analysis of Determinate and Indeterminate Structures

About this book

This book presents students with the key fundamental elements of structural analysis and covers as much material as is needed for a single-semester course, allowing for a full understanding of indeterminate structural analysis methods without being overwhelming. Authored by four full professors of engineering, this class-tested approach is more practical and focused than what's found in other existing structural analysis titles, and therefore more easily digestible and accessible. It also allows students to solve indeterminate structural analysis problems by utilizing different methods, enabling them to compare the merits of each, and providing a greater understanding of the subject material.

Features:

  • Includes practical examples to illustrate the concepts presented throughout the book
  • Examines and compares different methods to solve indeterminate structural analysis problems
  • Presents a focused treatment of the subject suitable as a primary text for coursework

Static Analysis of Determinate and Indeterminate Structures is suitable for Civil Engineering students taking Structural Analysis courses.

1Solving Reactions Using Equations of Force

1.1Equations of Equilibrium

When solving for reactions in a beam, one of the most important concepts to remember is that the member (and the structure as a whole) is in equilibrium. This means that every force and moment acting on the structure is balanced by another, and the entire system remains at rest. This state of rest, or equilibrium, can be described with the following three equations of equilibrium.
∑Fx=0 ∑Fy=0 ∑MO=0 (1.1)
where Fx represents forces along the horizontal or x-axis, Fy represents forces along the vertical or y-axis, and MO represents the sum of the moments around any point on the beam. Since these three equations can be assumed to be true for all problems, they are used in solving essentially all reactions in a structure.

1.2 Determinacy of a Beam

One limiting factor with the equations of equilibrium is that they can only solve up to three unknowns in a problem that is identified in a single plane. When a problem can be solved using only these equations, it ...
