EQUILIBRIUM

Equilibrium
• Statics deals primarily with the description of
the force conditions necessary and sufficient
to maintain the equilibrium of engineering
structures.

• When a body is in equilibrium, the resultant of


all forces acting on it is zero.

Load Characterization
• Concentrated force – a single force in any
direction acting at a point.

• Distributed force – is specified in terms of


magnitude per unit area.
