CHAPTER 2
ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY DETERMINATE STRUCTURES
© SergeyIT/Shutterstock
Oftentimes the elements of a structure, like the beams and girders of this building frame, are connected together in a manner whereby the analysis can be considered statically determinate.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
- To show how structures can be idealized and modeled for analysis.
- To define structural stability.
- To show how to analyze statically determinate, planar, pin-connected structures.
2.1 IDEALIZED STRUCTURE
The exact internal loadings within a structure can never be determined, because estimates always have to be made of the loadings, the points of application, ...
