    Assignment-1 Types of Support, Truss and Continuous Beam

    Uploaded by

    Yesha Shah
    This document discusses different types of structural supports, trusses, and continuous beams. It describes four types of supports: fixed supports which resist all forces and moments; hinge supports which resist vertical and horizontal forces but not moments; roller supports which resist vertical forces but not horizontal or moments; and guided supports which prevent rotation but allow longitudinal and transverse movement. It also outlines standard Fink trusses and mono trusses as well as how continuous beams are statically indeterminate structures requiring additional equations like the theorem of three moments to calculate support reactions.

    ASSIGNMENT-1

    TYPES OF SUPPORT , TRUSS AND CONTINUOUS BEAM

    TYPES OF SUPPORTS:
    1. FIXED SUPPORT

    Fixed supports can resist vertical and horizontal forces as


    well as a moment.
    Since they restrain both rotation and translation, they are
    also known as rigid supports.
    This means that a structure only needs one fixed support
    in order to be stable.
    All three equations of equilibrium can be satisfied.
    And in this structure one end is fixed.

    TYPES OF SUPPORTS:
    2. HINGE SUPPORT

    The hinge supports are unable to resist the lateral loads.


    They resist only vertical loads that's why it has only one
    reaction, this reaction acts perpendicular to the surface
    and away from it.
    Pinned or hinge support: It resists the horizontal and
    vertical loads but is unable to resist the moment.
    it only allows the rotation.
    and the structure shows that both the ends are hinged

    TYPES OF SUPPORTS:
    3. ROLLER SUPPORT

    The roller supports are unable to resist the lateral loads.


    They resist only vertical loads that's why it has only one
    reaction, this reaction acts perpendicular to the surface
    and away from it.
    Pinned or hinge support: It resists the horizontal and
    vertical loads but is unable to resist the moment.
    Roller supports are free to rotate and translate along the
    surface upon which the roller rests.
    structure shows 4 rollers supports.

    TYPES OF SUPPORTS:
    4. GUIDED SUPPORT

    Guided is support at the end of the beams that prevent


    rotation, but permits longitudinal and transverse
    displacement
    Free or unsupported is when the beam is totally free to
    rotate in any direction
    Held is support at the end of the beam that prevents
    longitudinal and transverse displacement.
    eg: train and rails
    eg: window of bus

    CONTINUOUS BEAM

    A continuous beam, i.e. a beam that has more than


    two supports, is statically indeterminate.
    The reactions in the supports of a continuous beam
    cannot be obtained with the equations of static
    equilibrium only.
    For the calculation of the reactions in the supports
    each section is considered as an independent beam.
    The action of the adjacent part is substituted by a
    moment in the support between the sections.
    The equation for determining these moments is
    known as the theorem of three moments.
