(b) Displacement method/Stitiness method/Equilibrium method, (©) Graphical method. In trusses, generally D, is much lower than D,, Hence force methods are preferred. 3.6.1 Unit Load Method Consider a truss shown below. Dz= m+r,-2 =6+3-2x4 =64+3-8=41 Dey = 1-3 Dy=3-3=0 and D, = m-(2j-3) | =6-(2x4-3)=1 Thus the above truss is indeterminate to 1% degree and indeterminacy is internal i.e. internal force is redundant force. Let S,, S>, Sy given external loading (W). , are the final forces in the members due to Since the truss is indeterminate to 1* degree. Hence remove one of the member say AB in order to make the remaining truss determinate, The above determinate truss may be analysed by using method of joint or method of sections. Let due to the given loading, force in truss are P,, Po, PyP, (Say P-system of forces). wo, yen loading, consider there is X force in AB.
