DEFORMATION.

1. Discuss the concept of the method of consistent deformation.

The force method of analysis, also known as the method of consistent deformation,
uses equilibrium equations and compatibility conditions to determine the unknowns in
statically indeterminate structures. In this method, the unknowns are the redundant forces. A
redundant force can be an external support reaction force or an internal member force, which
if removed from the structure, will not cause any instability. This method entails formulating a
set of compatibility equations, depending on the number of the redundant forces in the
structure, and solving these equations simultaneously to determine the magnitude of the
redundant forces. Once the redundant forces are known, the structure becomes determinate
and can be analyzed completely using the conditions of equilibrium.

For an illustration of the method of consistent deformation, consider the propped cantilever
beam shown in Figure 10.1a. The beam has four unknown reactions, thus is indeterminate to
the first degree. This means that there is one reaction force that can be removed without
jeopardizing the stability of the structure. The structure that remains after the removal of the
redundant reaction is called the primary structure. A primary structure must always meet the
equilibrium requirement. A careful observation of the structure being considered will show
that there are two possible redundant reactions and two possible primary structures (see Fig.
10b and Fig. 10d). Taking the vertical reaction at support B and the reactive moments at
support A as the redundant reactions, the primary structures that remain are in a state of
equilibrium. After choosing the redundant forces and establishing the primary structures, the
next step is to formulate the compatibility equations for each case by superposition of some
sets of partial solutions that satisfy equilibrium requirements. Equations 10.1 and 10.2 satisfy
options 1 and 2, respectively. The terms ∆BP, θAP, δBB, and αAA are referred to as flexibility
or compatibility coefficients or constants. The first subscript in a coefficient indicates the
position of the displacement, and the second indicates the cause and the direction of the
displacement. For example, ∆BP implies displacement at point B caused by the load P in the
direction of the load P. The compatibility coefficients can be computed using the Maxwell-Betti
Law of Reciprocal, which will be discussed in the subsequent section.

 Procedure for Analysis of Indeterminate Structures by the Method of Consistent Deformation

 Determine the degree of indeterminacy of the structure.

 Choose the redundant reactions from the indeterminate structure.

 Remove the chosen redundant reactions to obtain the primary structure.

 Formulate the compatibility equations. The number of the equations must match the
number of redundant forces.

 Compute the flexibility coefficients.

 Substitute the flexibility coefficients into the compatibility equations.

 In the case of several redundant reactions, solve the compatibility equations

simultaneously to determine the redundant forces or moments.

 Apply the computed redundant forces or moments to the primary structure and
evaluate other functions, such as bending moment, shearing force, and deflection, if
desired, using equilibrium conditions.

Module 3 SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAMS OF BEAMS USING THE SLOPE DEFLECTION METHOD

1. Discuss the concept of the slope deflection method.

The slope-deflection equations give us the moment at either end of each element within a
structure as a function of both end rotations, the chord rotation, and the fixed end moments
caused by the external loads between the nodes.

After we have those equations determined, we can apply moment equilibrium equations at
each node, i.e. all the moments applied to the node must add to zero. Then we can solve
those equations simultaneously to find the end rotations. These end rotations may then be
substituted back into the slope-deflection equations to find the real moments at the ends of
all of the members. From these moments, we can find the shears and reactions and the
moment diagrams for the entire structure.

 The entire process for an indeterminate beam is summarized as follows:

1. Find all of the unrestrained DOFs in the beam structure.

2. Define an equilibrium equation for each DOF (for rotations, the sum of all moments at each
rotating node must equal zero).

3. Find the moments to put into the equilibrium conditions using the slope deflection equations
(either (1) /(2) /(3) for regular members or (4) /(5) if the element has a pin or hinge at the
end). To do this:

a) For each element that has an external force between the nodes, find the fixed end
moments at either end using Figure 9.6.

b) If there are any support settlements or imposed displacements at node locations, find
the chord rotations caused by that settlement/displacement.

c) Construct each slope deflection equation.

4. Put the slope deflection moments into the equilibrium equations and use the resulting
equilibrium equations to solve for the values of the unknown DOF rotations (by solving the
system of equations).

5. Use the now-known DOF rotations to find the real end moments for each element of the beam
(sub the rotations back into the slope-deflection equations).

6. Use the end moments and external loadings to find the shears and reactions.

7. Draw the resultant shear and bending moment diagrams.

Module 3 SHEAR AND MOMENT DIAGRAMS OF BEAMS USING MATRIX METHOD.

1. Discuss the concept of the matrix method.

In modern engineering practice, such structures of medium to high complexity are

typically analyzed using matrix structural analysis. The advantage of matrix structural analysis
is that it can easily be programmed to be solved using a computer. The use of this method with
a computer allows the analysis of complex structures that would have been impossible
previously.

Matrix structural analysis usually uses a stiffness-type method for analysis. In this way,
it is similar to the slope-deflection and moment-distribution methods from the previous two
chapters. Both of these methods required the calculation of member stiffness parameters to
conduct the analysis by distributing moments according to stiffness. In the moment-distribution
method, the stiffness parameters were explicitly determined in order to calculate the
distribution factors. In the slope-deflection method, the slope-deflection equations represented
the stiffness of each element (by relating the deflections/rotations directly to the associated
end moments).

These are in contrast to force-type methods such as the force method, which require
the calculation of flexibility parameters to conduct the analysis by determining deflections and
rotations based on forces and moments.

Force method: The force method or the method of consistent deformation is based on the
equilibrium of forces and compatibility of structures. The method entails first selecting the
unknown redundants for the structure and then removing the redundant reactions or members
to obtain the primary structure.

Compatibility equations: The compatibility equations are formulated and used together with
the equations of equilibrium to determine the unknown redundants. The number of the
compatibility equations must match the number of the unknown redundants. Once the unknown
redundants are determined, the structure becomes determinate. Methods of computation of
compatibility or flexibility coefficients, such as the method of integration, the graph
multiplication method, and the use of deflection tables, are solved in the chapter.
