CC 601 Theory of Structure Ii: Prepared By: Azmiyah Binti Ahmad

This document contains a civil engineering department course outline for structural analysis II, which focuses on analyzing statically determinate trusses using the method of joints. An example problem is provided to calculate the reactions at supports for a given truss. The steps shown are to 1) assume the direction of reactions, 2) take moments at a joint to calculate the vertical reaction and set the horizontal reaction to zero, and 3) apply the actual directions of reactions at the supports.

Learning Objective:
Upon completion of this course,
students should be able to calculate
reaction at the support of the truss.

Example 1
Calculate reaction for the truss shown below.
30KN

B
C

10 m

5m

SOLUTION.

1. Assume direction of reaction


C

10 m

D
HA

5m

VA

VD

30KN

Solution.
2. Calculate reaction for support A and D by
taking moment at joint A or D.
C

30KN

Taking moment at D
MD = 0
VA (5) - 30 (10) = 0
VA = 300 / 5
= 60 KN
FY = 0

10 m

VA
D

HA

VA

VD = 0
VD = - 60 KN

FX = 0

5m

VD

HA - 30 = 0
HA = 30 KN

Solution.
3. Apply actual direction of reaction at support
A and D
C

30KN

10 m

HA = 30KN

D
A

5m

VA = 60KN

VD = 60KN
