Introduction Deformations in Framed Structures
Classification of structures (Analytical models)
Deformations in framed structures:
1. Skeletal structures: consist of line elements
2D Models 3D Models
Axial:
Plane Trusses Space Trusses
Beam Grids
Plane Frames Space Frames
2. Plated structures: plates & shells
3. Solid structures: have all three dimensions
Actions/stresses in structures may be:
Torsional:
Axial: in cables, truss elements, arches, membranes
Flexural: in beams, frames, grids, plates
Torsional: in grids, 3D frames
Shear: Frames, grids, shear walls

Deformations in Framed Structures Equilibrium and Compatibility
Equilibrium equations set the externally
Bending: applied loads to be equal to the sum of the
internal forces at all joints or node points of a
structure.
Shear:
In simple form, the equilibrium equations in
three dimensional coordinate system are:

Overall statical classification of plane structures
refers to the continuity of
displacements and must also
Statically
be satisfied. In the analysis
of a structural system of
discrete elements, all
elements connected to a
joint or node must have the
same absolute displacement Derive similar relationships for the statical
