Introduction of Determinate and Indeterminate Structures
Introduction of Determinate and Indeterminate Structures
OUTLINE
Determinate and Indeterminate Structures:
❑ Analysis of beams
❑ Analysis of trusses
❑ Analysis of frames
STRUCTURE
Stable Unstable
External Internal
EQUILIBRIUM
• For equilibrium:
Fx = 0 Fy = 0 Fz = 0
M x =0 M y =0 M z =0
• For most structures, it can be reduced to:
Fx = 0
Fy = 0
M o =0
Types of Framed Structures:
❑ beams
❑ trusses
❑ frames
Static indeterminacy
d = m + r - nj
where,
d = the degree of static indeterminacy,
m = no. of member,
r = no. of reaction,
j = no. of joint.
Plane truss n = 2, space truss n = 3.
(If d = 0 it is statically determinate)
d = 3m + r – 3j
EXERCISE 1
KINEMATIC
INDETERMINANCY
• To develop the ability to model or idealize a structure so that the structural engineer can
perform a practical force analysis of the members
• Support Connections
• Pin connection (allows some freedom for slight rotation)
• Roller support (allows some freedom for slight rotation)
• Fixed joint (allows no relative rotation)
• Support Connections
• In reality, all supports
actually exert distributed
surface loads on their
contacting members.
