2 FRMES Method of consistent deformation is very useful for solving problems involving statically indeterminate frames for single story and unusual geometry. Problems involving multistory frames, or with high indeterminacy are best solved using the slope deflection or moment distribution or the stiffness methods.

3 Example 6 etermine the support reactions on the frame shown. EI is constant. 8 kn/m 5 m 4 m ctual Frame 3

4 Principle of Superposition 8 kn/m 5 m 4 m ctual Frame y inspection the frame is indeterminate to the first degree. 4

5 Principle of Superposition We will choose the horizontal reaction at support as the redundant. The pin at is replaced by the roller, since a roller will not constraint in the horizontal direction. 8 kn/m Primary Structure Δ 5

8 ompatibility Equation Δ x f The terms Δ and f will be computed using the method of virtual work. The frame s x coordinates and internal moments are shown in figure. It is important that in each case the selected coordinate x 1 or x be the same for both the real and virtual loadings. lso the positive directions for M and m must be same. 8

18 Principle of Superposition M can be directly obtained by choosing as the redundant. 1 lb/ft The capacity of the frame to support a moment at is removed and therefore a pin is used at for support. ctual Frame 18

46 TRUSSES The degree of indeterminacy of a truss can be find using Equation b+r > j. where b = unknown bar forces, r = support reactions, j = equations of equilibrium This method is quite suitable for analyzing trusses that are statically indeterminate to the first or second degree. 46

47 Example 9 etermine the force in member of the truss shown. E is same for all members. 4 lb 6 ft 8 ft ctual Truss 47

48 The truss is statically indeterminate to the first degree. b + r = j = (4) 9 > = 1 st degree 4 lb 6 ft 8 ft ctual Truss 48

49 Principle of Superposition The force in member is to be determined, so member is chosen as redundant. This requires cutting this member, so that it cannot sustain a force, making the truss S.. and stable. 4 lb 6 ft ctual Truss 8 ft 49

50 4 lb ctual Truss = 4 lb F Δ + F F f Primary Structure Redundant F applied 5

51 ompatibility Equation With reference to member, we require the relative displacement Δ, which occurs at the ends of cut member due to the 4-lb load, plus the relative displacement F f caused by the redundant force acting alone, be equal to zero, that is F f 4 lb F Δ F F f Primary Structure Redundant F applied 51

52 ompatibility Equation Here the flexibility coefficient f represents the relative displacement of the cut ends of member caused by a real unit load acting at the cut ends of member. F f 4 lb F Δ F F f Primary Structure Redundant F applied 5

53 ompatibility Equation This term, f, and Δ will be computed using the method of virtual work. F f 4 lb F Δ + F F f Primary Structure Redundant F applied 53

54 ompatibility Equation For Δ we require application of the real load of 4 lb, and a virtual unit force acting at the cut ends of member lb lb 1 lb lb +4 x lb 3 lb 54

58 Substituting the data into Eq. (1) and solving yields E E F 34 lb (T) F NS Since the numerical result is positive, is subjected to tension as assumed. Using this result, the forces in other members can be found by equilibrium, using the method of joint. 58

69 We will use virtual work method to find Δ and f. eflection of truss is calculated by where nnl E n = N = axial force in truss members due to virtual unit load acting at joint and in the direction of Δ axial force in truss members due to real load acting that causes Δ 69
