Structural Analysis Lecture 7

Chapter 2 discusses the analysis of statically determinate structures, focusing on the principle of superposition and equations of equilibrium. It includes examples of classifying frames as statically determinate or indeterminate, with methods for analyzing structures with rigid joints and internal loops. The chapter emphasizes the use of free-body diagrams and the method of sections for determining internal forces and structural classification.

Equations of Equilibrium
Determinacy
Example 2-3
Classify each of the frames shown in figure below as statically determinate or
statically indeterminate. If statically indeterminate, report the number of
degrees of indeterminacy. The frames are subjected to external loadings that
are assumed to be known and can act anywhere on the frames.

 Unlike the beams and pin-connected structures of the previous
examples, frame structures consists of members that are connected
together by rigid joints.
 Sometimes the members form internal loops as in Fig 1-a. Here
ABCD forms a closed loop. In order to classify these structures, it is
necessary to use the method of sections and “cut” the loop apart.
 The free-body diagrams of the sectioned parts are drawn, and the
frame can then be classified.
 Notice that only one section through the loop is required, since once
the unknowns at the sections are determined, the internal forces at any
point in the members can then be found using the method of sections
and the equations of equilibrium. Member forces are shown in the
Fig. 1-b.
 The frame in Fig 2-a has no closed loops and so it does not need to be
sectioned between the supports when finding its determinacy. The
resulting classifications are indicated in Fig 2-b.
