Structure loads Once the dimensional requirements for a structure have been defined, it becomes necessary to determine the loads the structure must support. Often, it…

Structure: Types And Classification This chapter provides a discussion of some of the preliminary aspects of structural analysis. The phases of activity necessary to produce…
Truss
A truss is a structure composed of slender members joined together at endpoints by bolting/Riveting or welding. Ends of the members are joined to a common plate called Gusset Plate.
Moment Distribution Method
The method consists in solving indirectly the equations of equilibrium as formulated in slope deflection method without finding the displacements. This is an iterative procedure. This is also known as relaxation method.
Slope Deflection Method
Slope deflection method is useful to analyse indeterminate structures like continues beams and plane frames.
Force Method of Analysis (Structure Indeterminate Structures)
For a given loading, the maximum stress and deflection of indeterminate structures are generally smaller than that in statically determinate structures.
