Chapter 1 - Basic Concepts of Structural Analysis - 0

The document discusses the basic concepts of structural analysis, including the six categories of framed structures: beams, plane trusses, space trusses, grids, and space frames. It also covers topics such as actions and displacements, static and kinematic indeterminacy, flexibility and stiffness matrices, and equivalent joint loads. Worked examples are provided to illustrate key concepts like determining degrees of static indeterminacy and calculating flexibility and stiffness matrices.

Basic Concepts of
Structural Analysis
Types of Framed Structures

The structures analyzed in this course are called framed structures and
can be divided into six categories:

• Beams • Plane frames


• Plane trusses • Grids, and
• Space trusses • Space frames

Actions and Displacements
An action (sometimes called a generalized force) is most commonly a
single force or a couple.

structure.

Static and Kinematic Indeterminacy
Example I . The space truss shown in Fig. 1-10 has pin supports at A,
B, and C. The degrees of static and kinematic indeterminacy for the
truss are to be obtained.
Static redundants
• No. of joints = 6
• Equations of equilibrium available at every joint = 3
• Total of equations of statics is available = 6  3 = 18
• No. of bar forces =12
• No. of reactions = 9 ( ⸪ rxns per support = 3)
• No. of unknown actions = 12 + 9 = 21
⇒ No. of static redundants = 21 − 18 = 3
⸫ The structure is statically indeterminate to the 3rd degree.
Kinematic redundants
No. of kinematic redundants = 6  3 − 3  3 = 9
⸫ The structure is kinematically indeterminate to the 9th degree. 17

Principle of Superposition
Validity conditions: Linear elastic response

(1)The material of the structure follows Hooke's law;


(2)The displacements of the structure are small; and
(3)There is no interaction between axial and flexural effects in the members.
