Structure
• A structure refers to any system of connected parts used to support a
load
Classification of Structural Elements
• Tie Rods – subjected to tensile force
• Beams – designed to resist bending and shear
• Columns – designed to resist axial compressive loads
• Beam Columns – designed to resist axial compressive load and
bending moment
Types of Structures
• A combination of structural elements is referred to as structural
systems
• Trusses – support loads through the tension and compression of its
members
• Cables – flexible and carry loads in tension.
• Arch – achieves its strength in compression since it has a reverse
curvature to that of the cable.
• Frames – composed of beams and columns that are either pin or fixed
connected

Composite Structures
• Composite structures are composed of some members subjected only
to axial force, while other members are subjected to bending.
Composite Structure: Example 1
• The simply supported queen-post
trussed beam is to be designed to
support a uniform load of 2 kN/m.
• The dimensions of the structure are
shown in Fig. 9-17a. Determine the
force developed in member CE.
• Neglect the thickness of the beam and
assume the truss members are pin
connected to the beam. Also, neglect
the effect of axial compression and shear
in the beam.
• The cross-sectional area of each strut is ,
and for the beam

• STEP 1: PRINCIPLE OF SUPERPOSITION


• If the force in one of the truss members is known, then the
force in all the other members can be determined by statics.
Hence, the structure is indeterminate to the first degree.
• For solution, the force in member CE is chosen as the
redundant. This member is therefore sectioned to eliminate its
capacity to sustain force.
