03 Analysis of External Reactions

This document provides examples for computing reactions of beams and frames at supports using the equations of static equilibrium. It also demonstrates using the method of joints and method of sections to analyze trusses and determine member forces. The examples progress from simple beams to more complex trusses.

Note of the hinge, (B) and (E). Reactions r = 5
For two hinges, two equation of condition also.
ec = 2, therefore r = 3 + ec,
The structure is statically determinate:
