CHAPTER ONE

STABILITY, DETERMINACY OF STRUCTURES AND

CONSISTENT DEFORMATIONS METHOD 1.1. STABILITY OF STRUCTURES: Before deciding the determinacy or indeterminacy of a structure we should first of all have a structure which is stable. The question of determinacy or indeterminacy comes next. We shall now discuss 2-D or single plane structures. (Defined and accommodated in a single plane). 1.1.1. STABLE STRUCTURE: A stable structure is the one, which remains stable for any conceivable (imaginable) system of loads. Therefore, we do not consider the types of loads, their number and their points of application for deciding the stability or determinacy of the structure. Normally internal and external stability of a structure should be checked separately and if its overall stable then total degree of indeterminacy should be checked. 1.2. ARTICULATED STRUCTURES:

This may be defined as “A truss, or an articulated structure, composed of links or bars, assumed to be connected by frictionless pins at the joints, and arranged so that the area enclosed within the boundaries of the structure is subdivided by the bars into geometrical figures which are usually triangles.”

1.3. CONTINUOUS FRAME:

“ A continuous frame is a structure which is dependent, in part, for its stability and load carrying capacity upon the ability of one or more of its joints to resist moment.” In other words, one or more joints are more or less rigid. 1.4. DETERMINACY:

A statically indeterminate structure is the one in which all the reactive components plus the internal forces cannot be calculated only from the equations of equilibrium available for a given force system.These equations, of course, are

∑ H = 0, ∑ V = 0 and ∑ M = 0 The degree of indeterminacy for a given structure is, in fact , the excess of total number of reactive components or excess of members over the equations of equilibrium available.

It is convenient to consider stability and determinacy as follows.

a) With respect to reactions, i.e. external stability and determinacy.

b) With respect to members, i.e. internal stability and determinacy.

c) A combination of external and internal conditions, i.e. total stability and determinacy.

2 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

1.4.1. EXTERNAL INDETERMINACY: A stable structure should have at least three reactive components, (which may not always be sufficient) for external stability of a 2-D structure, which are non-concurrent and non-parallel.

Stable & externally indeterminate to 5th degree. (Fig. 1.6) Remove any five suitable redundant reactions to make it statically determinate. 1.4.2. INTERNAL INDETERMINACY:

This question can be decided only if the minimum number of reactive components necessary for external stability and determinacy are known and are acting on the structure. This type of indeterminacy is normally associated with articulated structures like trusses. We assume that the structure whose internal indeterminacy is being checked is under the action of minimum reactive components required for external stability at the supports.

The basic form of the truss is a triangle.

To make the truss, add two members and one joint and repeat.

Fig 1.7

Let us assume that

j = Total number of joints.

b = Total number of bars.

r = Minimum number of reactive components required for external stability/determinacy. b + r = 2j total number of total number of unknowns. equations available (at joints).

4 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

1. If b + r = 2 j Stable & internally determinate. Check the arrangement of members also. 2. If b + r > 2 j Stable & internally indeterminate. (degree of indeterminacy would be decided by the difference of these two quantities).

3. If b + r < 2 j Unstable. A structure is said to have determinacy or indeterminacy only if it is stable. Now we consider some examples.

indicated square may get displaced and rotated due to gravity loads.

Always inspect member positions. Insert one member in the encircled box or manage prevention of sliding by external supports to make it stable.

NOTE:- The difference between the internal and the external indeterminacy is only in the definition of ‘r’

1.4.3. TOTAL INDETERMINACY The question of total indeterminacy is of little interest and we have got different equations for different types of structures. For example, the previous equation, i.e., b + r = 2 j can be used to check the total degree of indeterminacy of an articulated structure like truss by slightly modifying the definition of “ r ” which should now be considered as the “total number of reactive components available”.

* In this case the presence of a pin at each end of the link makes one additional type of movement possible if reaction components are removed. Two condition equations are therefore provided by the link in terms of algebraic sum of moments equal to zero at the joints of link.

b = 16 r = 3 j = 9 D = ( b + r ) − 2 j = ( 16 + 3 ) − 2 × 9 = 19 − 18 D = 1 ∴ Stable and Indeterminate to Ist degree. In the analysis of statically determinate structures, all external as well as internal forces are completely known by the application of laws of statics.Member sizes do not come into the picture as no compatibility requirements are to be satisfied. However, in the analysis of indeterminate structures we should have member sizes, sectional and material properties before doing the analysis as member sizes would be involved in the determination of deflections or rotations which are to be put in compatibility equations afterwards. Now we discuss methods for finding deflection and rotations. 1.5. METHODS FOR FINDING DEFLECTION AND ROTATION;-

Usually following methods are used in this classical analysis of structures.. --- Unit - load method. (Strain energy method). --- Moment - area method. --- Conjugate beam method (a special case of moment - area method). 1.5.1. MOMENT AREA THEOREM (1) ;-

The change of slope between tangents drawn at any two points on the elastic curve of an originally straight beam is equal to the area of the B.M.D between these two points when multiplied by 1/EI (reciprocal of flexural stiffness),

1.5.2. MOMENT AREA THEOREM (2) :-

“The deviation of any point on elastic curve from the tangent drawn at some other point on the

elastic curve is equal to 1EI multiplied by the moment of the area of the bending moment diagram

between these two points”. The moment may generally be taken through a point where deviation is being measured.

1.6. BENDING MOMENT DIAGRAM BY PARTS:

In order to compute deviations and change of slope by moment area method, bending moment diagram may be drawn in parts i.e. one diagram for a particular load starting from left to right. Same sign convention would be followed for bending moment and shear force as have been followed in subjects done earlier. Bending moment would be positive if elastic curve resembles sagging i.e. compression at top fibers and tension at the bottom fibers while shear force would be

Page 18: Structural Analysis

18 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

positive at a section of a portion being considered as a free body when left resultant force acts upwards and right resultant force acts downwards. Negative bending moment and shear force would be just opposite to this.

We observe that the moment effect of any single specified loading is always some variation of the general equation. Like

This Relationship has been plotted below. While drawing bending moment diagrams by parts and starting from left, for example, Ra is acting at A. Imagine that Ra is acting while support at A has been removed and beam is fixed adequately at B ( just like a cantilever support), the deflected shape whether sagging or hogging will determine the sign of B.M.D. Similar procedure is adopted for other loads.

1.7. FIRST THEOREM OF CONJUGATE BEAM METHOD :−

In simple words the absolute slope at any point in the actual beam is equal to the shear force at the

corresponding point on the conjugate beam which is loaded by MEI diagram due to loads on actual

beam. 1.7.1. SECOND THEOREM OF CONJUGATE BEAM METHOD :-

The absolute deflection at any point in the actual beam is equal to the B.M at the corresponding

point on the conjugate beam which is loaded by MEI diagram.

The reader is reminded to draw conjugate beams for actual beams under loads very carefully by giving due consideration to support conditions of actual beam. In general for a fixed and free end of actual beam, the corresponding supports would be free and fixed in conjugate beam respectively. Deflection ∆ at any point on actual beam is associated with the bending moment at corresponding point on conjugate beam while rotation θ at any point on actual beam is associated with shear force at corresponding point on conjugate beam. At an actual hinge support ∆ is equal to zero and θ is there indicating non development of moment at the support (Shear force present,

STABILITY, DETERMINACY OF STRUCTURES AND CONSISTENT DEFORMATIONS METHOD 23

bending moment zero). The corresponding support conditions in conjugate beam would be such where bending moment is zero and shear force may be there i.e., a hinge is indicated. See the following example.

1.8. STRAIN ENERGY :-

“The energy stored in a body when it undergoes any type of deformation (twisting, elongation, shortening & deflection etc.) under the action of any external force is called the strain energy.” If this strain energy is stored in elastic range it is termed as elastic strain energy. All rules relating to strain energy apply. The units of strain energy are the same as that of the work i.e., joule (N − mm, N − m).

In 1879, Castigliano published two theorems connecting the strain energy with the deformations and the applied loads.

1.9.1 CASTIGLIANO’S FIRST THEOREM :-

The partial derivative of the total strain energy stored with respect to a particular deformation gives the corresponding force acting at that point.

Mathematically

PM

∂U∂∆ = P Where U is strain energy stored in bending

and ∂U∂θ = M . Here ∆ is connected with loads and θ with moment.

1.9.2. CASTIGLIANO’S SECOND THEOREM :- The partial derivative of the total strain energy stored with respect to a particular force gives the

corresponding deformation at that point. Mathematically,

∂U∂P = ∆

and ∂U∂M = θ Here ∆ is connected with loads and θ with moment.

1.10. CONSISTENT DEFORMATION METHOD :-

This method may be termed as redundant force method or simply a force method. In this method, the statically indeterminate structure is idealized as a basic determinate structure under the action of applied loads plus the same structure under the action of redundant forces considered one by one. The deformations produced at the points of redundancy are calculated in the above-mentioned basic determinate structures and then these calculated deformations are put into compatibility requirement for the structure. Normally these are satisfied at a joint.

Page 26: Structural Analysis

Now for a given beam, various possible Basic determinate structures (BDS) would be given. A clever choice of BDS for a given structure can reduce the amount of time and labour.

An indeterminate structure can be made determinate in several ways and the corresponding quantities may be calculated very easily. However, we will notice that a clever choice of making a basic determinate structure will reduce the time of our computations tremendously. In Figs. 2.11 and 2.12 various options regarding choice of BDS are given while Figs. 2.13 and 2.14 illustrate how to make conjugate beam for a given beam using the guidelines stated earlier. Consider another loaded beam in Fig. 2.15.

Therefore, now compatibility requirement is

or Rb = − ∆Bδbb → (1)

Therefore, determine these deflections ∆B and δbb in equation (1) either by moment area method or by unit load method.

1.16. ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY EXTERNALLY INDETERMINATE TRUSSES :- A truss may be statically indeterminate if all external reactive components and internal member

forces may not be evaluated simply by the help of equations of equilibrium available. The indeterminacy of the trusses can be categorized as follows :-

(1) Trusses containing excessive external reactive components than those actually required

for external stability requirements. (2) Trusses containing excessive internal members than required for internal stability

requirements giving lesser the number of equations of equilibrium obtained from various joints.

(3) A combination of both of the above categories i.e. excessive external reactions plus

excessive internal members.

INTERNAL INDETERMINACY:-

b + r = 2j There are two equations of equilibrium per joint where b = number of bars or members. r = minimum number of external reactive components required for external stability (usually 3). j = number of joints.

The above formula can also be used to check the total indeterminacy of a truss if we define ‘r’ as the total number of reactive components which can be provided by a typical support system. 1.17. METHOD OF MOMENTS AND SHEARS :

A simple method is presented to evaluate axial member forces in parallel chord trusses. For other types of trusses method of joints, method of sections or Maxwell’s diagram may be used. For determining forces in members of trusses, this method has been used throughout this text. To develop the method, consider the truss loaded as shown below:

Fig. 2.36 A typical Truss under loads

Consider the equilibrium of L.H.S. of the section. Take ‘D’ as the moment centre: we find Ra

Ra × 3a = 2P × 2a + 3 P × a

Ra = 7Pa3a =

7P3

∑ Mc = 0 and assuming all internal member forces to be tensile initially, we have Ra x 2a − 2P × a + SFG × h = 0 (considering forces on LHS of section)

or SFG = −

Ra × 2a − 2 Pa

h

The ( −ve ) sign indicates a compressive force. Or

SFG =

Ra × 2a − 2 Pa

h = Mch where numerator is Mc. Therefore

The force in any chord member is a function of bending moment. “To find out the axial force in any chord member, the moment centre will be that point where other two members completing the same triangle meet and the force will be obtained by taking moments about that point and dividing it by the height of truss. The signs of the chord members are established in the very beginning by using an analogy that the truss behaves as a deep beam. Under downward loads, all upper chord members are in compression while all lower chord members are in tension. Similarly, SBC =

Consider the equilibrium of left hand side of the section and ∑Fy = 0

Ra − 2P − SFC Cos θ = 0

SFC =

Ra − 2P

Cos θ where Ra − 2P is equal to shear force V due to applied loads at

the section. So in general the force in any inclined member is a function of shear force.

SFC = V

Cosθ

The general formula is : S =

± (V)± (Cos θ)

Page 58: Structural Analysis

58 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

Where V is the S.F. at the section passing through the middle of inclined member and ‘θ‘ is the angle measured from “the inclined member to the vertical” at one of its ends. Use (+ve) sign as a pre-multiplier with the Cosθ if this angle is clockwise and (−ve) sign if θ is anticlockwise. Take appropriate sign with the S.F also. This treatment is only valid for parallel chord trusses. The force in the vertical members is determined by inspection or by considering the equilibrium of forces acting at the relevant joints. To illustrate the method follow the example below.

Apply check for Internal Indeterminacy :- b + r = 2 j where r = Minimum number of external reactions required for stability.

17 + 3 = 2 × 10

This truss is internally determinate and externally indeterminate to 1st degree, therefore, we select reaction at point “C” as the redundant force. Remove support at C, the Compatibility equation is :

∆ C + δcc × Rc = 0 (Deflection at C due to loads plus due to redundant

should be zero.)

or Rc = − ∆cδcc . Now we have to calculate ∆c and δcc to get Rc.

where ∆c = ∑ F′ UL

AE where F' = Force induced in members due to applied loads

acting on BDS.

δcc = ∑ U2 LAE U = Forces in members due to Unit load applied in direction

of applied loads, at external redundant support in BDS.

Put Rc in (4) & solve for Rd

11.1 + 9.3565 Rd = 0

Rc = − 92.625 KN

∴ Rc = − 92.625 KN Rd = + 0.308 KN These signs indicate that reaction at C is upwards and reaction at D is downwards. By superposition, the member forces will be calculated as follows Fi = Fi + Rc × U1 + Rd × U2 which becomes. Fi = Fi − Rc × U1 + Rd × U2. It takes care of (−ve) sign with Rc. Equilibrium checks:−

∆DV + HD × δdv.dh + VD × δdvdv + MD × αdvdθ =0 (2) compatibility in vertical direction at D.

θD + HD × αdθ.dh +VD × αdθdv + MD × αdθdθ =0 (3) rotational compatibity at D.

We have to determine the following flexibility co-efficients.

∆DH = Horizontal deflection of point D due to applied loads.

∆DV = Vertical deflection of point D due to applied loads.

θD = Rotation of point D due to applied loads.

δdhdh = Horizontal deflection of point D due to unit horizontal redundant force at D

Page 76: Structural Analysis

76 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

δdhdv = Horizontal deflection of point D due to unit vertical redundant force at D

αdθdh = angular deflection of point D due to unit angular redundant force at D

δdvdh = Vertical deflection of point D due to unit horizontal redundant force at D

δdvdv = Vertical deflection of point D due to unit vertical redundant force at D

αdθdv = Rotation deflection of point D due to unit vertical redundant force at D

αdhdθ = Horizontal rotation of point D due to unit rotation at pt D

αdvdθ = Vertical rotation of point D due to unit rotation at pt D

αdθdθ = Rotation rotation of point D due to unit rotation at pt D

δdvdh = δdhdv ( reciprocal deformations)

αdθdh = αdhdθ ( reciprocal deformations)

αdθdv = αdvdθ ( reciprocal deformations)

Now these flexibility co-efficients can be evaluated by following formulae.

∆DH = ∫ M × mHEI dX

∆DV = ∫ M × mVEI dX

θD = ∫ M x mθEI dX

δdhdh = ∫ (mH)2 dXEI

δdvdv = ∫ (mv)2 dXEI

αdθdh = αdhdθ = ∫ mH × mθ

EI dX

δdhdv = δdvdh = ∫ mv × mH

CHAPTER TWO

METHOD OF LEAST WORK

The method of least work is used for the analysis of statically indeterminate beams, frames and trusses. Indirect use of the Castigliano’s 2nd theorem is made and the following steps are taken. (1) The structure is considered under the action of applied loads and the redundants. The

redundants can be decided by choosing a particular basic determinate structure and the choice of redundants may vary within a problem.

(2) Moment expressions for the entire structure are established in terms of the applied loads

and the redundants, which are assumed to act simultaneously for beams and frames. (3) Strain energy stored due to direct forces and in bending etc. is calculated and is partially

differentiated with respect to the redundants. (4) A set of linear equations is obtained, the number of which is equal to that of the

redundants.Solution of these equations evaluates the redundants. NOTE:− Special care must be exercised while partially differentiating the strain energy expressions and

compatibility requirements of the chosen basic determinate structure should also be kept in mind. For the convenience of readers, Castigliano’s theorem are given below:

2.1. CASTIGLIANO’S FIRST THEOREM:−

“The partial derivative of the total strain energy stored with respect to a particular deformation gives the corresponding force acting at that point.”

Mathematically this theorem is stated as below:

∂U∂∆ = P

and

∂U∂θ = M

It suggests that displacements correspond to loads while rotations correspond to moments. 2.2. CASTIGLIANO’S SECOND THEOREM :− “The partial derivative of the total strain energy stored with respect to a particular force gives the corresponding deformation at that point.” Mathematically,

∂U∂P = ∆

and

∂U∂M = θ

Page 92: Structural Analysis

92 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

2.3. STATEMENT OF THEOREM OF LEAST WORK. “In a statically indeterminate structure, the redundants are such that the internal strain energy stored is minimum.” This minima is achieved by partially differentiating strain energy and setting it to zero or to a known value. This forms the basis of structural stability and of Finite Element Method. 2.4. Example No.1: 1st Degree Indeterminacy of Beams. Analyze the following loaded beam by the method of least work.

The question of internal indeterminacy relates to the skeletal structures like trusses which have discrete line members connected at the ends. The structures which fall in this category may include trusses and skeletal frames. For fixed ended portal frames, the question of internal indeterminacy is of theoretical interest only.

1 2

Relative displacementof horizontal number =

Consider he truss shown in the above diagram. If this truss is to be treated as internally indeterminate, more than one members can be considered as redundants. However, the following points should be considered for deciding the redundant members.

(1) The member which is chosen the redundant member is usually assumed to be removed or cut. The selection of redundant should be such that it should not effect the stability of the remaining structure.

Page 103: Structural Analysis

METHOD OF LEAST WORK

103

(2) The skeletal redundant members will have unequal elongations at the two ends and in the direction in which the member is located. For example, if a horizontal member is chosen as redundant, then we will be concerned with the relative displacement of that member in the horizontal direction only.

(3) Unequal nodal deflection (∆1 − ∆2 ) of a typical member shown above which is often termed as relative displacement is responsible for the self elongation of the member and hence the internal force in that member.

FIRST APPROACH: WHEN THE MEMBER IS REMOVED :− With reference to the above diagram, we assume that the redundant member (sloping up to left) in the actual structure is in tension due to the combined effect of the applied loads and the redundant itself. Then the member is removed and now the structure will be under the action of applied loads only.

A D

CBB1

TogetherB2

Apart

Due to the applied loads, the distance between the points B and D will increase. Let us assume that point B is displaced to its position B2. This displacement is termed as ∆ apart. Now the same structure is considered under the action of redundant force only and let us assume that point B2 comes to its position B1 (some of the deflections have been recovered). This displacement is termed as ∆ together. The difference of these two displacements ( ∆apart − ∆together) is infact the self lengthening of the member BD and the compatibility equation is

∆apart − ∆together = self elongation. 2.7.2. 2ND APPROACH We assume that the member is infact cut and the distance between the cut ends has to vanish away when the structure is under the action of applied loads and the redundant. In other words, we can say that the deformation produced by the applied loads plus the deformation produced by the redundant should be equal to zero.

2.8. STEPS FOR TRUSS SOLUTION BY METHOD OF LEAST WORK. Now instead of Unit load method, we shall solve the previous truss by direct use of method of least work. (1) Consider the given truss under the action of applied loads and redundant force X in member U1L2 (2) The forces in the relevant rectangle will be a function of applied load and redundant force X. (As was seen in previous unit load method solution) (3) Formulate the total strain energy expression due to direct forces for all the members in the truss. (4) Partially differentiate the above expressions with respect to X. (5) Sum up these expressions and set equal to zero. Solve for X. (6) With this value of X, find the member forces due to applied loads and redundant acting simultaneously (by applying the principle of super positions). EXAMPLE NO. 8 :-

∆X2R1 = 0.032 × 10-3 X1

∆X2R2 = 125.6 × 10-6X2 = 0.1256 × 10−3X2

Putting these in compatibility equations, we have.

Put X1 in (2) & solve for X2

SOLUTION:

DEGREE OF INDETERMINACY :-

D = (m + r ) − 2 j = (10 + 4 ) − 2 × 6 = 2

Therefore, the truss is internally statically indeterminate to the 2nd degree. There can be two approaches, viz, considering two suitable members as redundants and secondly taking one member and one reaction as redundants for which the basic determinate structure can be obtained by cutting the diagonal CE and replacing it by a pair of forces X1 − X1 and replacing the hinge at F by a roller support with a horizontal redundant reaction HF = X2. Applying the first approach and treating inclineds of both storeys sloping down to right as redundants.

The credit for developing method of least work goes to Alberto Castiglianos who worked as an engineer in Italian Railways. This method was presented in a thesis in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of diploma engineering of associate engineer. He published a paper for finding deflections which is called Castiglianos first theorem and in consequence thereof, method of least work which is also known as Castiglianos second theorem. Method of least work also mentioned earlier in a paper by an Italian General Menabrea who was not able to give a satisfactory proof. Leonard Euler had also used the method about 50 years ago for derivation of equations for buckling of columns wherein, Daniel Bernolli gave valuable suggestion to him.

Method of least work or Castiglianos second theorem is a very versatile method for the analysis of indeterminate structures and specially to trussed type structures. The method does not however, accounts for erection stresses, temperature stresses or differential support sinking. The reader is advised to use some other method for the analysis of such indeterminate structures like frames and continuos beams.

It must be appreciated in general, for horizontal and vertical indeterminate structural systems, carrying various types of loads, there are generally more than one structural actions present at the same time including direct forces, shear forces, bending moments and twisting moments. In order to have a precise analysis all redundant structural actions and hence strain energies must be considered which would make the method laborious and cumbersome. Therefore, most of engineers think it sufficient to consider only the significant strain energy. The reader should know that most of structural analysis approaches whether classical or matrix methods consider equilibrium of forces and displacement/strain compatibility of members of a system.

METHOD OF LEAST WORK

The basis of the method of consistent deformation and method of least work are essentially the same. In consistent deformation method, the deformation produced by the applied loads are equated to these produced by the redundants. This process usually results in the evolution of redundants. However, in the method of least work, total strain energy expression of a structural system in terms of that due to known applied loads and due to redundants is established. Then the total strain energy is partially differentiated with respect to redundant which ultimately result in the evolution of the redundant. It must be appreciated that, for indeterminate structural system like trusses, the unknown redundants maybe external supports reaction or the internal forces or both. And it may not be very clear which type of redundants should be considered as the amount of work involved in terms of requisite calculation may vary. Therefore, a clever choice of redundants (or a basic determinate structure as was the case with consistent deformation method) may often greatly reduce the amount of work involved. There is often a debate going on these days regarding the utility or justification of classical structural analysis in comparison to the computer method of structural analysis. It is commented that in case of classical methods of structural analysis the student comes across basic and finer points of structural engineering after which a computer analysis of a complex structure maybe undertaken. In the absence of basic knowledge of classical structural analysis, the engineer maybe in a difficult position to justify to computer results which are again to be checked against equilibrium and deformation compatibility only.

INTRODUCTION TO TWO-HINGED ARCHES

3.0. TWO-HINGED ARCHES:- The following issues should be settled first. − Definition. − Types. − Basic Principle and B.M. − Linear Arch. − Mathematical Generalized Expressions. − Segmental Arches. Some information is contained elsewhere where determinate arches have been dealt. 3.1. DEFINITION OF AN ARCH. “An arch can be defined as a humped or curved beam subjected to transverse and other loads as well as the horizontal thrust at the supports.” An efficient use of an arch can be made only if full horizontal restraint is developed at the supports. If either of the support allows some movement in the horizontal direction, it will tend to increase the B.M. to which an arch is subjected and arch would become simply a curved beam. The B.M., in arches due to the applied loads is reduced due to the inward thrust. Analysis is carried out to find the horizontal thrust and also to find the B.M., to which an arch is subjected.

The above beam and arch carry similar loadings. If Mo = B.M. due to applied loads at a distance X on the simple span of a simple beam where rise is y. then bending moment in the arch is, MX = Mo ± Hy where MX is the B.M., in the arch at a distance x . H is the horizontal thrust at the springings & y is the rize of the arch at a distance. ‘x’ as shown in the diagram. The ( ± ) sign is to be used with care and a (−) sign will be used if the horizontal thrust is inwards or vice versa. In later case it will behave as a beam.

Va Vb Under transverse loads, the horizontal thrust at either of the springings abutments is equal. In the arch shown above, the degree of indeterminacy is one and let us consider the horizontal thrust at support B as the redundant. The above loaded arch can be considered equal to the following two diagrams wherein a BDS arch is under the action of loads plus the same BDS arch under the action of inward unit horizontal load at the springings. =

(Flattened arch recovers some of horizontal displacement at B due to unit horizontal loads and will recover fully if full horizontal thirst is applied at B.) (Arch flattens out under the action of applied loads because freedom in the horizontal direction has been provided at point B.) and all due to full redundant value. This forces the basis of compatibility.

∆BR stands for displacement of point. B (in the direction of force) due to unit horizontal redundant force at B. Remember that a horizontal reactive component cannot be realized at the roller support. However, we can always apply a horizontal force at the roller.

3.2. Compatibility equation.

∆BL − ( ∆BR ) H = 0 ( If unit load is applied in opposite sense so that it also produces flettening, +ve sign may be used in the equation and the final sign with H will be self adjusting.)

We will be considering strain energy stored in bending only.The modified expression for that for curved structural members is as follows.

U = ∫ M2ds

Where ds is the elemental length along the centre line of the arch and U is the strain energy stored in bending along centre-line of arch. The bending moment at a distance x from support is MX = Mo − Hy (Horizontal thrust is inwards). (1) Where Mo = Simple span bending moment ( S.S.B.M.) in a similar loaded simple beam.

The algebraic integration of the above integrals can also be performed in limited number of cases when EI is a suitable function of S ( total curved arch length), otherwise, go for numerical integration. For prismatic (same cross section) members which normally have EI constant, the above expression can be written as follows:

H = ∫ Mo y ds

∫ y2ds

3.3. TYPES OF ARCHES :− The arches can be classified into a variety of ways depending mainly upon the material of construction and the end conditions. (1) Classification Of Arches Based On Material of Construction :− The following arches fall in this particular category: a) Brick masonary arches. b) Reinforced concrete arches. c) Steel arches. The span of the arches which can be permitted increases as we approach steel arches from the brick masonary arches. (2) Classification Of Arches Based On End Conditions :− The following arches fall in this particular category: a) Three hinged arches. b) Two hinged arches. c) Fixed arches. In the ancient times, three hinged arches have been used to support wide spans roofs. However, their use is very rare in bridge construction since the discontinuity at the crown hinge is communicated to the main deck of the bridge. In three hinged arches, all reactive components are found by statical considerations without considering the deformations of the arch rib. Therefore, they are insensitive to foundation movements and temperature changes etc., and are statically determinate. These are covered as a separate chapter in this book. The Romans exploited the potential of arches to a great extent. However, their emperical analysis approach became available in the early 18th century. 3.4. LINEAR ARCH :− This is just a theoretical arch at every X−section of which the B.M. is zero.

M = Mo − Hy = 0

or Mo = Hy (The B.M. due to applied loads is balanced by Hy).

therefore, y = MoH

Page 159: Structural Analysis

INTRODUCTION TO TWO-HINGED ARCHES 159

This is the equation for the centre line of a linear arch. With the change in position and the number of loads on the arch, the corresponding linear arch would also change as Mo keeps on changing. Therefore, there are infinite number of such arches for every load pattern and position on the actual arch.

EXAMPLE NO. 1: 3.5. ANALYSIS OF TWO – HINGED SEGMENTAL ARCHES We develop the method for indeterminate arches starting with the simplest cases of segmental arches. Solve the following segmental arch by using the basic principles of consistent deformation method and by treating horizontal thrust at support D as the redundant. The segmental arches could be used in tunnels and in water ways.

The circular arches are infact a portion of the circle and are commonly used in bridge construction. From the knowledge of determinate circular arches, it is known that the maximum thrust and the vertical reactions occur at the springings. Therefore, logically there should be a greater moment of inertia near the springings rather than that near the mid−span of the arch. The approach is called the secant variation of inertia and is most economical. However, to establish the basic principles, we will first of all consider arches with constant EI. The following points are normally required to be calculated in the analysis. (1) Horizontal thrust at the springings.

(2) B.M. & the normal S.F. at any section of the arch.

Usually, the span and the central rise is given and we have to determine;

(i) the radius of the arch;

(ii) the equation of centre line of the circular arch.

Two possible analysis are performed.

(1) Algebraic integration.

(2) Numerical integration.

After solving some problems, it will be amply demonstrated that algebraic integration is very laborious and time consuming for most of the cases. Therefore, more emphasis will be placed on numerical integration which is not as exact but gives sufficiently reliable results. Some researches have shown that if arch is divided in sixteen portions, the results obtained are sufficiently accurate. In general, the accuracy increases with the increase or more in number of sub−divisions of the arch. We will be considering two triangles. 1 − ∆ ADO 2 − ∆EFO By considering ∆ ADO OB2 = OD2 + BD2

The detailed derivation of this equation can be found in some other Chapter of this book. In this case, S = R ( 2 θ ) where θ is in radiains. S is the total length along centre line of the arch.

SLOPE __ DEFLECTION METHOD 199

CHAPTER FOUR

4. SLOPE – DEFLECTION METHOD

This method is applicable to all types of statically indeterminate beams & frames and in this method, we solve for unknown joint rotations, which are expressed in terms of the applied loads and the bending moments. By inspection, the degree of indeterminacy is checked and the corresponding number of unknown joint rotations are calculated from the slope – deflections equations.

4.1. SIGN CONVENTION:–

(1) ROTATIONS:– Clockwise joint rotations are considered as (+ve).

(2) END MOMENTS:– Counterclockwise end moments are considered as (+ve).

4.2. PROCEDURE:–

The procedure is as follows: (1) Determine the fixed end moments at the end of each span due to applied loads acting on span by

considering each span as fixed ended. Assign ± Signs w.r.t. above sign convention.

(2) Express all end moments in terms of fixed end moments and the joint rotations by using slope –

deflection equations.

(3) Establish simultaneous equations with the joint rotations as the unknowns by applying the condition that sum of the end moments acting on the ends of the two members meeting at a joint should be equal to zero.

(4) Solve for unknown joint rotations.

(5) Substitute back the end rotations in slope – deflection equations and compute the end moments.

(6) Determine all reactions and draw S.F. and B.M. diagrams and also sketch the elastic curve

Page 200: Structural Analysis

200 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

4.3. DERIVATION OF SLOPE – DEFLECTION EQUATION:– Consider a generalized beam under the action of applied loads and end moments as shown at (i).

(i) (ii) Fig: (i) can be equated to a fixed ended beam carrying applied loads which produce fixing moments plus two simple beams carrying end moments [figs (iii) and (iv)]

(iii) (iv) Draw moment diagrams. Determine their areas and centroid locations.

(Assuming these MEI diagrams are placed on conjugate beams)

Equating relevant rotations in above four diagrams according to sign conventions θa = 0 − θa1 + θa2 = − θa1 + θa2 and θb = 0 + θb1 − θb2 = θb1 − θb2 (1) Compatibility on rotations

During the same for moments.

So Mab = Mfab + Ma′ Mba = Mfba + Mb′ (2) Compatibility on moments

Page 201: Structural Analysis

SLOPE __ DEFLECTION METHOD 201

Where Ma′ and Mb′ are the additional moments required to produce the joint rotations at ends A and B respectively and Mfab & Mfba are the fixed ended moments which hold the tangents at points A and B straight.Conjugate beam theorem states that “ rotation at a point in actual beam is equal to the shear force at the corresponding point in the conjugate beam ). Applying it we have.

or Ma′ = 2EIL ( − 2θa − θb) → (6)

L + 4EIL (− 2 θa − θb ) By putting value of Ma’ from 6 in 5 and simplifying

Mb′ = 6EI θa

L − 8EI θa

L − 4EIL θb

Mb′ = − 2EI θa

L − 4EIL θb

or Mb′ = 2EIL (− θa − 2 θb ) → (7)

Putting the values of Ma′ and Mb′ from equations 6 and 7 in equation (2), we have.

Mab = Mfab + 2EIL (− 2θa−θb)

Mba = Mfba + 2EIL (−θa− 2θb)

Absolute values of 2EIL are not required in general except for special cases and we use relative

values of 2EIL in cases without settlement..

Where, K = IL if absolute stiffness (rotation) is not required.

Where K = relative stiffness Slope − deflection equation for members without settlement.

Mab = Mfab + 2EIL (− 2θa − θb )

Mba = Mfba + 2EIL (− 2 θb − θa )

Page 203: Structural Analysis

without absolute value of 2EIL , above equations become

Mdc = − 2 + 9 (–2θd – θc) = – 2 – 18 θd – 9 θc

Step 4: Joint Conditions :– at A : Mab – 2=0 or Mab = 2 KN–m

C: Mcb + Mcd = 0

D: Mdc = 0

Put these joint conditions in the linear simultaneous equations set up in step No. (3).

Mab = 2, so – 12 θa – 6 θb = 2

– 12 θa – 6 θb – 2 = 0 → (1)

Mba + Mbc = 0

so – 12 θb – 6 θa + 6 – 16 θb – 8 θc = 0

– 6 θa – 28 θb – 8 θc + 6 = 0 → (2)

Mcb + Mcd = 0 so – 6 – 16θc – 8 θb + 2 – 18 θc – 9 θd = 0

If the linear simultaneous equations are established and are arranged in a sequence of joint conditions, we will find that the quantities on the leading diagonal are dominant in that particular equation and off diagonal quantities are symmetrical as far as the magnitude of rotations is concerned. This is a typical property of the stiffness method, which you will study later in matrix methods of structural analysis.

From (1) θa =

–2 – 6θb

12 → (5)

From (4) θd =

– 2 – 9 θc

18 → (6)

Putting these values in equations (2) & (3), all deformations are expressed in terms of θb & θc. Therefore, we get two linear simultaneous equations in terms of θb & θc. Hence, their values can be calculated. Put θa from equations (5) in equation (2)

– 6

–2 – 6θb

12 – 28 θb – 8 θc + 6 = 0

+ 1 + 3 θb – 28 θb – 8 θc + 6 = 0 or – 25 θb – 8 θc + 7 = 0 → (7) Put θd from equation (6) in equation (3)

– 8 θb – 34 θc – 9

– 2 – 9 θc

18 – 4 =0 Simplifying

– 8 θb – 34 θc + 1 + 4.5 θc – 4 = 0 – 8 θb – 29.5 θc – 3 = 0 → (8)

From (7) θb =

– 8 θc + 7

25 → (9)

Put in (8) – 8

– 8 θc + 7

25 – 29.5 θc – 3 = 0

or 2.56 θc – 2.24 – 29.5 θc – 3 = 0 – 26.94 θc – 5.24 = 0

θc = –5.2426.94

θc = – 0.1945 Radians

Page 206: Structural Analysis

206 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

Put value of θc in equation (9) , we get

θb =

–8 ( – 0.1945) + 7

25

θb = + 0.3422 radians. Put θb in equation (5)

θa =

–2 – 6 × 0.3422

θa = – 0.3378 radians.

Put θc in equation (6)

θd = –2 – 9 . (– 0.1945)

18

θd = – 0.0139 radians.

Putting these values of rotations in simultaneous equations set up in step (3) & simplifying we get the values of end moments as under: Mab = 2 KN–m These two values should be the Mba = – 2.08 KN–m the same but with opposite signs to satisfy equilibrium at that

Mbc = + 2.08 KN–m joint. Mcb = – 5.63 KN–m Mcd = + 5.63 KN–m (Same comment) Mdc = 0 As the end moments have been calculated and they also satisfy the joint conditions, therefore, the structure is statically determinate at this stage. Reactions, shear force diagrams, B.M. diagrams & elastic curves can now be sketched. NOTE:– In slope – deflection method, the actual deformations are the redundants and stiffness matrix is symmetrical. In force – method, we can chose any redundant and therefore flexibility matrix is not generally symmetrical about leading diagonal. Now we can draw shear force and bending moment diagrams and sketch elastic curve. Free body diagrams of various spans are drawn.

RR = L

Consider a generalized fixed ended beam settling differentially at B. The angle R is measured from the original members axis to the displaced member axis and will be +ve if it is clockwise. The

absolute values of 2EIL with consistent units are to be used in the settlement problem and the final slope –

deflection equation to be used for settlement problems is as follows:–

Mab = Mfab + 2EIL (– 2 θa – θb + 3 R)

Mba = Mfba + 2EIL (– 2 θb – θa + 3 R).

The above equation is general and can be used to find the end moments due to applied loading and

due to sinking of supports simultaneously. However, it is a common practice to consider end moments induced due to applied loading separately from those induced due to settlement. The superposition principle can then be applied afterwards and the final end moments can be obtained. If all supports of a continuous structure like beams and frames settle by the same amount, no additional end moments will be induced due to sinking. These will be induced only whenever there is a differential sinking of supports like the following case. Where support C sinks by ∆ w.r.t supports B and D.

so θc = – 0.258 θb – 2.32 × 10–3 → (5) Put (4) and (5) in (2) , we have. – 80,000 [ 5.625 × 10–3 – 0.5 θb] – 416,000 θb – 128,000 [– 0.258 θb – 2.32 × 10–3] – 252 = 0 – 450 + 40,000 θb – 416,000 θb+33,024 θb+296.96–252=0

θb = –405.04342976

θb = – 1.181 × 10–3 radians.

Put θb in (1) because θa is dominant there. – 160,000 θa – 80,000 (–1.181 × 10–3) + 900 = 0

θa =

900 – 80000 (– 1.181 × 10–3)

160000

θa = + 6.215 × 10–3 radians. Put θb in (3) because θc is dominant there, we get.

θc = –128000 (– 1.181 × 10–3 ) – 1152

θc = – 2.018 × 10–3 red.

Step 3: SLOPE–DEFLECTION EQUATIONS :–

Putting 2EIL and 3R values, we have.

Putting joint conditions in Slope – deflection equation, we have (Mab = 0)

– 160,000 θa – 80,000 θb + 900 = 0 → (1)

(Mdc = 0)

– 240,000 θd – 120,000 θc = 0 – 120,000 θc – 240,000 θd = 0 → (4)

Re-writing – 160,000 θa – 80,000 θb + 0 + 0 + 900 = 0 → (1) – 80,000 θa – 416.000 θb – 128,000 θc + 0 – 252 = 0 → (2) 0 – 128,000 θb – 496,000 θc–120,000 θd–1152 = 0 → (3) 0 + 0 – 120,000 θc – 240,000 θd + 0 = 0 → (4)

Lateral Loads UnsymmetericalLoad

(Side sway Present)

2I 2I

(i) side sway present (ii) I is same but support conditionsare different (side sway present)

Centre line

Load is symmetrical and

The side sway (relative displacement of two ends of a column) or the horizontal movement of the structure may become obvious once the structure and the loading is inspected in terms of inertia, E values and support conditions etc. However, following are the rules and guide lines which may be followed for deciding whether side sway is present or not. (1) In case of symmetrical frames subjected to symmetrical loading, the side sway may be neglected for columns having equal inertia values if support conditions are same.

(2) If a force is applied in horizontal direction to a symmetrical frame where no arrangement exists for preventing horizontal movement, the side sway must be considered.(with reference to all these diagrams).

(3) An unsymmetrical frame subjected to symmetrical loading might be considered to have side sway.

4.6. UNSYMMETRICAL FRAME :– “An unsymmetrical frame is that which has columns of unequal lengths and different end conditions and moment of inertia the load may be symmetrical or unsymmetrical.” 4.7. STIFFNESS :– “Stiffness can be defined as the resistance towards deformation which is a material, sectional and support parameter.” More is the stiffness, less is the deformation & vice versa. Stiffness attracts loads / stresses. The stiffness is of various types :

(1) Axial stiffness (AE).

(2) Flexural stiffness (EI).

(3) Shear stiffness (AG).

(4) Torsional stiffness (GJ).

26 – 131 θc – 8.16 = 0 → (6)

– 27 θc – 7.415 – 131 θc – 8.16 = 0

– 158 θc – 15.575 = 0

θc = – 0.0986 rad.

From (6), θb = – 26 × 0.0986 + 7.14

26

θb = + 0.1760 rad.

From (1) – 38 (0.1760) – 12 (–0.0986)+7R+5.1 = 0

R = + 0.0580

So finally, we have. ∴ θa = 0 θb = + 0.1760 θc = – 0.0986 θd = 0 R = + 0.0580

or 3 Mda + 3 Mad + 5 Meb + 5 Mbe + 3 Mfc + 3 Mcf = 0 → (4) Step 7: SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS :– Putting end conditions in above four equations. We have

(Mad + Mab = 0)

so – 42 θa + 63 R – 60 θa – 30 θb = 0

– 102 θa – 30 θb + 63 R = 0 → (1)

Mba + Mbc + Mbe = 0

so – 60 θb – 30 θa + 8.16 – 60 θb – 30 θc – 70 θb + 175 R = 0

– 30 θa – 190 θb – 30 θc + 175 R + 8.16 = 0 → (2)

– 189 θa – 525 θb – 189 θc + 2506 R = 0 → (4)

(not a necessary step). Writing in a matrix form to show that slope-deflection method is a stiffness method.

We get a symmetric matrix about leading diagonal.

Solving aboving 4 equations, following values, are obtained.

θa = –0.024924, θb = 0.0806095, θc = –0.225801, R = –0.00196765.( use programmable calculator or Gausian elimination)

Putting these values in step 4, nodal moments may be calculated as follows: Mab = 0 + 30 (–2θa – θb) = –60θa – 30θb = –60(–0.024924) –30 (0.0806095) = 0.923 KN-m. Mba = –60θb – 30θa = –60(.0806095) –30(–0.024924) = –4.089 KN-m. Mbc = 8.16–60 (.0806095) –30 (–0.225801) = 10.097 KN-m. Mcb = –20.41 – 60 (–.225801) –30 (0.0806095) = 0.928 KN-m. Mad = –42 (–.024924) +63 (–.00196765) = 0.923 KN-m. Mda = –21(–.024924) +63 (–.00196765) = 0.3994 KN-m. Mbe = –70 (.0806095) +175 (–.00196765) = –5.987 KN-m. Meb = –35(0.0806095) + 175 (–.00196765) = 3.166 KN-m. Mef = –42(0.225801) +63 (–.001968) = –9.60 KN-m. Mfc = –21 (–0.2258) +63 (–.00197) = 4.12 KN-m.

θb=0.141, θc=0.275, θd= –0.276, θe= –0.156, R1=0.01224, R2=0.003613. By Putting these in slope deflection equations, the values of end moments are.

Mab = –1.012, Mba = –2.14, Mbc = –2.846, Mcb = –3.5162, Mcd = 3.51, Mdc = –3.48, Mde = 3.52, Med = 2.8788, Mef = 1.65, Mfe = 0.87, Mbe = 4.99, Meb = –4.54

Now SFD, BMD and elastic curve can be sketched as usual.

CHAPTER FIVE

5. THE MOMENT − DISTRIBUTION METHOD

5.1. Introduction :− Professor Hardy Cross of University of Illinois of U.S.A. invented this method in 1930. However, the method was well-established by the end of 1934 as a result of several research publications which appeared in the Journals of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). In some books, the moment-distribution method is also referred to as a Hardy Cross method or simply a Cross method. The moment-distribution method can be used to analyze all types of statically indeterminate beams or rigid frames. Essentially it consists in solving the linear simultaneous equations that were obtained in the slope-deflection method by successive approximations or moment distribution. Increased number of cycles would result in more accuracy. However, for all academic purposes, three cycles may be considered sufficient. In order to develop the method, it will be helpful to consider the following problem. A propped cantilever subjected to end moments.

Note: Counterclockwise moment are considered (+ve) Geometry requirement at B :− θb = 0, or θba − θbb = 0 and (1) θb = θba − θbb =0 (Slope at B). Now calculate all rotations shown in diagram by using conjugate beam method.

If Ma is applied at A, then Ma/2 will be transmitted to the far end B. Also, θa = θaa − θab Geometry requirement at A. (2) Put values of θaa and θab, we have,

θaa = Ma.L3EI −

5.2. STIFFNESS FACTOR :− The term 4EI/L is called the stiffness factor “stiffness factor is defined as the moment required to be applied at A to produce unit rotation at point A of the propped cantilever beam shown.” 5.3. CARRY-OVER FACTOR:− The constant (1/2) in equation 3 is called the carry-over factor.

Mb = Ma2

MbMa =

12

“Carry-over factor is the ratio of the moment induced at the far end to the moment applied at near end for a propped cantilever beam.” Now consider a simply supported beam carrying end moment at A.

Compare this Ma with that for a propped cantilever beam. We find that Stiffness factor of a simple beam is 3/4th of the cantilever beam. So propped cantilever beam is more stiff. 5.4. DISTRIBUTION FACTOR :− Let us consider a moment applied at joint E as shown. Values shown are the stiflnesses of the members.

B

10,000ME4000 4000

Consider a simple structure shown in the diagram which is under the action of applied moment M.

For the equilibrium requirements at the joint, it is obvious that the summation of moments ( ∑ M ) should be zero at the joint. This means that the applied moment ‘M’ will be distributed in all the members meeting at that joint in proportion to their stiffness factor. (This called stiffness – concept)

Total stiffness factor = 28,000 = 10,000 + 10,000 + 4,000 + 4,000

So Mae = Mec = 40002800 × M =

17 M

Mbe = Med = 100002800 × M =

514 M. Therefore,

“ Distribution at any end of a member factor is the ratio of the stiffness factor of the member being considered to the sum of the stiffnesses of all the members meeting at that particular continuous joint.”

Mfcb = − 25 KN−m

M = 16.67 is to be distributed. (Net moment at B support)

Total stiffness of members of joint B = 7

so Mab = 37 × M =

37 × 16.67 = 7.14 KN−m

and Mbc = 47 × M =

47 × 16.67 = 9.53 KN−m

The distribution factor at joint A is obviously equal to zero being a fixed joint. In the above diagram and the distribution factor at point C is infact 1 being an exterior pin support. (If we apply moment to the fixed support, same reactive moment will develop, so re−distribution moment is not created for all fixed supports and if a moment is applied at a pin support, we reactive moment develops.)

Fixed ended moments are sometimes referred to as the restraining moments or the locking moments. “The locking moments are the moments required to hold the tangents straight or to lock the joints against rotation”.

Page 262: Structural Analysis

262 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

Consider the above diagram. Joint A is fixed joint. Therefore, the question of release of this joint does not arise. Now let us release joint to the net locking moments acting at joint B is 16.67 in the clockwise direction. After releasing the joint B, the same moment (16.67) will act at joint B in the counterclockwise direction. This net released moment will be distributed to various members framing into the joint B w.r.t. their distribution factors. In this case, 7.14 KN−m in the counterclockwise direction will act on member BA and 9.53 KN−m in the counterclockwise direction will act on member BC.

Now we hold the joint B in this position and give release to joint ‘C’. The rotation at joint ‘C’ should be such that the released moment at joint ‘C’ should be 25 KN−m. The same procedure is repeated for a desired number of cycles. The procedure explained above corresponds to the first cycle. 5.5. STEPS INVOLVED IN MOMENT DISTRIBUTION METHOD:−

The steps involved in the moment distribution method are as follows:−

(1) Calculate fixed end moments due to applied loads following the same sign convention and procedure, which was adopted in the slope-deflection method.

(2) Calculate relative stiffness.

(3) Determine the distribution factors for various members framing into a particular joint.

(4) Distribute the net fixed end moments at the joints to various members by multiplying the net moment by their respective distribution factors in the first cycle.

(5) In the second and subsequent cycles, carry-over moments from the far ends of the same member (carry-over moment will be half of the distributed moment).

(6) Consider this carry-over moment as a fixed end moment and determine the balancing moment. This procedure is repeated from second cycle onwards till

convergence For the previous given loaded beam, we attempt the problem in a tabular form..

CHAPTER SIX

6. KANIS METHOD OR ROTATION CONTRIBUTION

METHOD OF FRAME ANALYSIS

This method may be considered as a further simplification of moment distribution method wherein the problems involving sway were attempted in a tabular form thrice (for double story frames) and two shear co-efficients had to be determined which when inserted in end moments gave us the final end moments. All this effort can be cut short very considerably by using this method. → Frame analysis is carried out by solving the slope − deflection equations by successive approximations. Useful in case of side sway as well. → Operation is simple, as it is carried out in a specific direction. If some error is committed, it will be eliminated in subsequent cycles if the restraining moments and distribution factors have been determined correctly. Please note that the method does not give realistic results in cases of columns of unequal heights within a storey and for pin ended columns both of these cases are in fact extremely rare even in actual practice. Even codes suggest that RC columns framing into footings or members above may be considered more or less as fixed for analysis and design purposes.

Case 1. No side sway and therefore no translation of joints derivation. Consider a typical member AB loaded as shown below:

A GENERAL BEAM ELEMENT UNDER END MOMENTS AND LOADS General Slope deflection equations are.

Mab = MFab + 2EIL ( − 2θa − θb ) → (1)

Mba = MFba + 2EIL ( − θa −2θb ) → (2)

equation (1) can be re-written as Mab = MFab + 2 M′ab + M′ba → (3) where MFab = fixed end moment at A due to applied loads.

and M′ab = rotation contribution of near end A of member AB = − EIL (2θa)

From (6), ∑M′ (ab, ac, ad) = − 12 [(MFa + ∑M′ (ba, ca, da)] → (7)

Therefore, if net fixed end moment at any joint along with sum of the far end contribution of members meeting at that joint are known then near end moment contribution can be determined. If far end contributions are approximate, near end contributions will also be approximate. When Far end contributions are not known (as in the first cycle), they can be assumed to be zero. 6.1. RULES FOR CALCULATING ROTATION CONTRIBUTIONS :__ Case-1: Without sides way. Definition: “Restrained moment at a joint is the algebraic sum of FE.M’s of different members meeting at that joint.” 1. Sum of the restrained moment of a joint and all rotation contributions of the far ends of members meeting at that joint is multiplied by respective rotation factors to get the required near end rotation contribution. For the first cycle when far end contributions are not known, they may be taken as zero (Ist approximation). 2. By repeated application of this calculation procedure and proceeding from joint to joint

in an arbitrary sequence but in a specific direction, all rotation contributions are known. The process is usually stopped when end moment values converge. This normally happens after three or four cycles. But values after 2nd cycle may also be acceptable for academic.

6.2. Case 2:__ With side sway (joint translations) In this case in addition to rotation contribution, linear displacement contributions ( Sway contributions ) of columns of a particular storey are calculated after every cycle as follows:

Page 291: Structural Analysis

KANIS METHOD OF FRAME ANALYSIS 291

6.2.1. For the first cycle. (A) → Linear Displacement Contribution ( LDC) of a column = Linear displacement factor (LDF) of a

particular column of a story multiplied by [storey moment + contributions at the ends of columns of that story]

Linear displacement factor (LDF) for columns of a storey = − 32

Linear displacement factor of a column = − 32

k ∑k Where k=stiffness of the column being

considered and Σk is the sum of stiffness of all columns of that storey.

CHAPTER SEVEN

7. INTRODUCTION TO COLUMN ANALOGY METHOD

The column analogy method was also proposed by Prof. Hardy Cross and is a powerful technique to analyze the beams with fixed supports, fixed ended gable frames, closed frames & fixed arches etc., These members may be of uniform or variable moment of inertia throughout their lengths but the method is ideally suited to the calculation of the stiffness factor and the carryover factor for the members having variable moment of inertia. The method is strictly applicable to a maximum of 3rd degree of indeterminacy. This method is essentially an indirect application of the consistent deformation method.

The method is based on a mathematical similarity (i.e. analogy) between the stresses developed on a column section subjected to eccentric load and the moments imposed on a member due to fixity of its supports. *(We have already used an analogy in the form of method of moment and shear in which it was assumed that parallel chord trusses behave as a deep beam). In the analysis of actual engineering structures of modern times, so many analogies are used like slab analogy, and shell analogy etc. In all these methods, calculations are not made directly on the actual structure but, in fact it is always assumed that the actual structure has been replaced by its mathematical model and the calculations are made on the model. The final results are related to the actual structure through same logical engineering interpretation.

In the method of column analogy, the actual structure is considered under the action of applied loads and the redundants acting simultaneously on a BDS. The load on the top of the analogous column is usually the B.M.D. due to applied loads on simple spans and therefore the reaction to this applied load is the B.M.D. due to redundants on simple spans considers the following fixed ended loaded beam.

COLUMN ANALOGY METHOD 307

The resultant of B.M.D’s due to applied loads does not fall on the mid point of analogous column section which is eccentrically loaded. Msdiagram = BDS moment diagram due to applied loads. Mi diagram = Indeterminate moment diagram due to redundants. If we plot (+ve) B.M.D. above the zero line and (−ve) B.M.D below the zero line (both on compression sides due to two sets of loads) then we can say that these diagrams have been plotted on the compression side. (The conditions from which MA & MB can be determined, when the method of consistent deformation is used, are as follows). From the Geometry requirements, we know that (1) The change of slope between points A & B = 0; or sum of area of moment diagrams between

A & B = 0 (note that EI = Constt:), or area of moment diagrams of fig.b = area of moment diagram of fig..c.

(2) The deviation of point B from tangent at A = 0; or sum of moment of moment diagrams between A

& B about B = 0, or Moment of moment diagram of fig.(b) about B = moment of moment diagram of fig.(c) about B. Above two requirements can be stated as follows.

(1) Total load on the top is equal to the total pressure at the bottom and; (2) Moment of load about B is equal to the moment of pressure about B), indicates that the analogous column is on equilibrium under the action of applied loads and the redundants. 7.1. SIGN CONVENTIONS:−

It is necessary to establish a sign convention regarding the nature of the applied load (Ms − diagram) and the pressures acting at the base of the analogous column (Mi−diagram.) 1. Load ( P) on top of the analogous column is downward if Ms/EI diagram is (+ve) which means that

it causes compression on the outside or (sagging) in BDS vice-versa. If EI is constant, it can be taken equal to units.

2. Upward pressure on bottom of the analogous column ( Mi − diagram) is considered as (+ve). 3. Moment (M) at any point of the given indeterminate structure ( maximum to 3rd degree) is given by

the formula.

M = Ms − Mi, which is (+ve) if it causes compression on the outside of members.

This problem is different from the previous one in the following respects. (a) Ms − diagram has to be divided by a given value of I for various portions of span. (b) The thickness of the analogous column X − section will also vary with the variation of

inertia. Normally, the width 1/EI can be set equal to unity as was the case in previous problem, when EI was set equal to unity.

By choosing a B.D.S. as simple beam under the action of Ma and Mb, we can verify by the use of conjugate beam method that θb = 0. In this case, we are required to find that how much rotation at end A is required to produce the required moment Ma. In other words, θa (which is in terms of Ma and Mb can be considered as an applied load on the analogous column section). The moments computed by using the

formula PA ±

8. PLASTIC ANALYSIS OF STEEL STRUCTURES

8.1. Introduction: Although the terms Plastic analysis and design normally apply to such procedures for steel structures within the yield flow region, at almost constant stress, however the Idea may also be applied to reinforced concrete structures which are designed to behave elastically in a ductile fashion at ultimate loads near yielding of reinforcement. The true stress-strain curve for a low grade structural steel is shown in fig. 1 while an idealized one is shown in fig. 2 which forms the basis of Plastic Analysis and Design.

8.2. Advantages of Plastic Analysis 1. Relatively simpler procedures are involved. 2. Ultimate loads for structures and their components may be determined. 3. Sequence and final mode of failure may be known and the capacity at relevant stages may be

determined. 8.3. Assumptions in Plastic bending 1. The material is homogeneous and isotropic. 2. Member Cross-section is symmetrical about the axis at right angles to the axis of bending. 3. Cross-section which were plane before bending remain plane after bending. 4. The value of modulus of Elasticity of the material remains the same in tension as well as in

compression. 5. Effects of temperature, fatigue, shear and axial force are neglected. 6. Idealized bi-linear stress-strain curve applies. 8.4. Number of Plastic Hinges “ The number of Plastic Hinges required to convert a structure or a member into a mechanism is one more than the degree of indeterminacy in terms of redundant moments usually. Thus a determinate structure requires only one more plastic hinge to become a mechanism, a stage where it deflects and rotates continuously at constant load and acquires final collapse. So Mathematically N = n+ 1 where N = Total number of Plastic hinges required to convert a structure into a mechanism. and n = degree of indeterminacy of structure in terms of unknown redundant moments.

So M= σZ and Z is elastic section modules and is equal to the first moment of area about N.A Z = ∫A ydA. 8.6. Plastic moment of a rectangular section. Consider a simple rectangular beam subject to increasing bending moment at the centre. Various stress-strain stages are encountered as shown below.

Var ious Stress-strain distr ibutions Case A - Stresses and strains are within elastic range. Case B - Stresses and strains at yield levels only at extreme fibers Case C - Ingress of yielding within depth of section. Case D - Full plastification of section. On the onset of yielding σ = σy and M = My = σy.Z. On full plastification σ = σy and M = Mp = σy.Zp. or Zp = ∫A yda (First moment of area about equal area axis). All compact sections as defined in AISC manual will develop full plastification under increasing loads realizing Mp. However local buckling of the compression flange before yielding has to be avoided by providing adequate lateral support and by applying width / thickness checks as was done during the coverage of subject of steel structures design. Case B. Stresses and Strains at yield at extreme fibres only. Consult corresponding stress and strain blocks. M = Total compression × la = Area × σ × la where Area = Area in compression (from stress block). σ = Average compression stress. la = Lever arm i.e. distance b/w total compressive and tensile forces.

Similarly for T-section, Equilateral Triangle and hollow rectangular section the values of shape-factor are 1.794, 2.343 and 1.29 respectively. For diamond shape its value is 2.0. 8.9. Significance of Shape Factor Zp is First moment of area about equal area axis. 1. It gives an indication of reserve capacity of a section from on set of yielding at extreme fibres

to full plastification. 2. If My is known,, Mp may be calculated. 3. A section with higher shape factor gives a longer warning before collapse. 4. A section with higher shape factor is more ductile and gives greater deflection at collapse. 5. Greater is the γ value, greater is collapse load factor λc 8.10. Collapse load of a structure. Collapse load is found for a structure by investigating various possible collapse mechanisms of a structure under conceivable load systems. For any given mechanism, possible plastic hinge locations are determined by noting the types of loads and support conditions remembering that under increasing loads, the plastic hinges would form in a sequence defined by corresponding elastic moments at the possible plastic hinge locations. “ Collapse loads are usually the applied loads multiplied by collapse load factor λc . λc is defined as the ratio of the collapse load to the working load acting on any structure / element” . The value of λc may indicate a margin of safety for various collapse mechanisms and steps can be taken in advance to strengthen the weaker structural elements before erection. Benefit of ` strength reserve’ is obtained due to increased moments of resistance due to plastification. The reserve of strength is large if the section widens out near the vicinity of neutral surface. 8.11. Assumptions made in Plastic Theory.

The plastic analysis is primarily based on following assumptions.

1. For prismatic members,, the value of Mp is independent of magnitude of bending moment.

2. The length of plastic hinge is limited to a point.

3. Material is very ductile and is capable of undergoing large rotations / curvatures at the constant moment without breaking.

4. The presence of axial force and shear force does not change the value of Mp.

5. The structure remains stable until the formation of last plastic hinge and serviceability would not be impaired till such time.

6. Loads acting on structure are assumed to increase in proportion to each other.

7. Continuity of each joint is assumed. 8.12. Fundamental Theorems of Plastic Collapse. When degree of redundancy increases beyond 2 or 3 in situations where collapse mechanism is not very clear, we try to pick up collapse load with the help of three fundamental theorems.

a. Lower bound theorem or static theorem.

b. Upper bound theorem or kinematic theorem.

c. Uniqueness theorem.

8.12.1 Lower Bound theorem “ A Load computed on the basis of bending moment distribution in which moment nowhere exceeds Mp is either equal to or less than the true collapse load” . 8.12.2 Upper bound theorem “ A load computed on the basis of an assumed mechanism is either equal to or greater than true collapse load” . When several mechanisms are tried, the true collapse load will the smallest of them. 8.12.3.

8.13. Methods of analysis

Basically there are two methods of analysis.

a. Equilibrium Method.

b. Mechanism Method.

8.13.1. Equilibr ium Method

Normally a free bending moment diagram on simple span due to applied loads is drawn and B.M.D due to reactants is superimposed on this with due regard to their signs leaving the net moment distributed. Then by making the moment values equal to Mp values at the known potential plastic hinge locations, a revised diagram can be drawn. Then by splitting the simple span moment due to applied loads in terms of relevant Mp, the values of collapse load can be determined.

8.13.2. Mechanism Method

In this approach, a mechanism is assumed and plastic hinges are inserted at potential plastic hinge locations. At plastic hinges the corresponding rotations and deflections are computed to write work equations which may be written as follows.

Work done by external loads = Actual loads x Average displacements = Work absorbed at Plastic hinges (internal work done) = Mp. θ

Typically Σ W. δ = Σ Mp . θ.

In both methods, the last step is usually to check that M < Mp at all sections.

After derivation we find the location of maximum moments Xo, Yo and MC.

8.18. Types of Collapse Three types of collapses are possible as described below.

1. Complete collapse

2. Partial collapse

3. Over complete collapse. 8.18.1. Complete Collapse If in a structure, there are R redundancies and collapse mechanism contains (R + 1) plastic hinges, it is called a complete collapse provided the structure is statically determinate at collapse.

Page 363: Structural Analysis

PLASTIC ANALYSIS METHOD 363

8.18.2. Par tial Collapse: If in a structure, the number of plastic hinges formed at collapse do not render the structure as statically determinate it is called a partial collapse. 8.18.3. Over Complete Collapse If in a structure there are two or more mechanisms which give the same value of collapse load (or collapse load factor λc) then this type of collapse is known as overcomplete collapse. 8.19. Analysis of Frames

In portal frames, three types of mechanisms are possible.

1. Beam Mechanisms (due to gravity loads)

2. Sway Mechanisms (due to lateral loads).

3. Combined Mechanisms (both loads). Step 1: Draw frame in thickness in two lines i.e., solid lines and broken lines. Solid lines are “ outside” of frame and broken lines are “ inside” of frame. Step 2: Nodal moments creating compression on out sides are positive or vice-versa.

Keeping in mind the definition of a true mechanism [one giving highest value of Mp in terms of Pc or lowest value of Pc in terms of Mp or λ ] Combined mechanism is the true collapse mechanism. So λc = 0.0343 Mp It will be a complete collapse if the structure is statically determinate and moment anywhere does not exceed Mp value since there are n + 1 plastic hinges in the true collapse mechanism Note: “ Moment checks are normally applied at those plastic hinge positions which are not included in the true collapse mechanism” . In the true collapse mechanism which is combined mechanism in this case, moments at points 1, 3, 4 and 5 are equal to Mp, we need to find and check moment value at point 2 only in this case. The generalized work equations 1 and 2 in terms of moments may be used for the purpose alongwith their signs. 100 λ = − M2 + 2M3 − M4 (1) 75 λ = − M1 + M2 − M4 + M5 (2) Noting that λ = 0.0343 Mp eqn (1) becomes 100 × 0.0343 Mp = − M2 + 2Mp + Mp so M2 = − 0.431 Mp < Mp − O.K. eqn (2) becomes 75 (0.0343 Mp) = + Mp + M2 + Mp + Mp so M2 = − 0.42755 Mp < Mp − O.K. Net value of M2 = algebraic sum of equations 1 and 2 as combined mechanism is combination of case A and case B.

λ = 1.396. Therefore, according to kinematic theorem, beam mechanism containing 3 Plastic hinges (one less than required) is the collapse mechanism for this frame with 3 redundancies. (N= n+ 1)= 3+ 1= 4 are required.; Note: In partial or incomplete collapse, only a part of the structure becomes statically determinate. Check moments at locations (1) and (5) with λ = 1.1377 , M2 , M3 , M4 = Mp substituting is eqn (2). 62.5 λ = −M1 + M2 − M4 + M5 or 62.5 (1.1377) = − M1 + Mp + Mp + M5 − 88.937 = M5 − M1 (4) or M1 − M5 = 88.937 (4) Putting same values in eqn (3) 343.75 (1.137) = − M1 + 2Mp + 2Mp + M5 = − M1 + M5 + 4 × 80 70.84 = M5 − M1 (5) Values of M1 and M5 cannot be found from either of equations (4) and (5) as this is incomplete or partial collapse. Instead of a unique answer on values of M1 and M5 which do not violate yield criteria, different pairs of possible values of M1 and M5 can be obtained satisfying equations 4 and 5. Therefore, according to Uniqueness theorem beam mechanism is the true collapse mechanism. It is a partial collapse case. 8.21.

Any or both of the collapse mechanisms can contain extra number of plastic hinges than those required for complete collapse. So in this case fig c and d mechanisms give the same value. This was the case of over complete collapse. Space for notes:

THE THREE MOMENT EQUATION 369

CHAPTER NINE

9. THE THREE MOMENT EQUATION

Most of the time we are concerned with the classical analysis of statically determinate structures. In this chapter we shall consider the analysis of statically indeterminate (externally) beams due to applied loads and due to settlement of supports. It must be remembered that supports for beams may be walls or columns. As we know that for the analysis of statically indeterminate systems, compatibility of deformations is also essential requirements in addition to considerations of equilibrium and statics. By compatibility it is understood that deformations produced by applied loads should be equal to those produced by redundants. It has been already mentioned that reactions occur at supports in various directions if

(i) There is some action (applied load) in that direction.

(ii) There is restraint offered by support in that directions

Action and reactions are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. In the structural analysis it is sometimes customery to think that rotations are generally associated with moments and deflections or translations are associated with loads. It must also be kept in mind that we never analyze actual structural systems or sub-systems, it is only the idealized ones which are analyzed. Representing beams and columns by just a straight line located on their centroidal axis is also a sort of idealization on the structural geometry. Reactions and loads are, therefore, also idealized and are shown by a sort of line loads acting on a point.

The three-moment equation is a good classical analysis tool in which support moments produced by the loads as well as by the differential settlements can be easily calculated by using second-moment area theorem which states that

“ The deviation of a point A on the elastic curve w.r.t any other point B on the elastic curve is

equal to 1EI multiplied by the moment of area of B.M.D’ s between those two points.” The moments of

B.M.D’ s are taken about a line passing through the point of loaded beam where deviation is being measured.

The method is essentially based on continuity (equality) of slopes on the either side of a support by reducing an indeterminate system to its determinate equivalents as follows by using supperposition.

= +

An indeterminate beam under applied loads and redundant moments is equated to corresponding detemrinate system carrying these two effects separately. Let-us derive the three-moment equation.

Consider a generalized two-span beam element under the action of applied loads and redundant support moments acting on BDS.

The above equation is called three-moment equation. 9.1. Analysis of Continuous Beams by three-Moment Equation. We apply three moment equation to two spans at a time which gives us one equation. With the successive applications, the required member of equations are obtained and are solved simultaneously. EXAMPLE: Analyze the continuous beam shown below by three-Moment equation.

Subtract equation (2) from (1) Mb + 0.2 Mc = − 23.52 Mb + 4 Mc + MD = − 225.625 − 3.8 Mc − MD = 202.105 (4) Multiply equation (4) by (2) and add in equation (3) − 7.6 Mc − 2MD = 404.21 Mc + 2 MD = − 72 − 6.6 MC = 332.21 So Mc = − 50.3 KN-m put Mc in equation (1), we get Mb = − 13.46 KN-m put Mc in (3), we get MD = − 10.85 KN-m.

Finally Mb = − 13.46 KN-m Mc = − 50.3 KN-m MD = − 10.85 KN-m Checks: The above calculated values of moments are correct if they satisfy the continuity of slope requirements. Slopes at any intermediate support point can be calculated from the two adjacent spans by using conjugate beam method. While applying checks, it is assumed that reader is well conversant with the conjugate beam method. Before we could apply checks, it is necessary to plot reactant moment diagram (support-moments) to get their contribution in slope calculation. Here is the statement of conjugate beam theorem number one again.

“ The shear force at any point on the conjugate beam loaded with MEI diagram is the slope at the

corresponding point in the actual beam carrying applied loads.” In applying the conjugate -beam method, we must use the original sign convention for shear force as applied in strength of Materials subject. (i.e., “ left up, right-down, positive)

SOLUTION: As the extreme right support is fixed, an imaginary Hinged span of length Lo and Ic = ∞ has already been added to make the method applicable and to conform to the support characteristic at D. Now it is a sort of continuous support. Only analysis due to differential settlement at B is required. Had there been some applied loads also, those could have been considered at the same time also. Now EI = 20 × 106 × 40 × 10−6 = 800 KN-m2. we also know that Ma = 0 and MDO = 0 being extreme hinge supports. Spans AB and BC When we consider these spans and compare them with the derivation, we find that situation is

INFLUENCE LINES 383

CHAPTER TEN

10. INFLUENCE LINES

This is also another very useful technique in classical structural analysis. Influence lines are plotted for various structural effects like axial forces, reactions, shear forces, moments and thrust etc. As structural members are designed for maximum effects, ILD’ s help engineer decide the regions to be loaded with live load to produce a maxima at a given section.

“ An influence line is a graphical representation of variation of a particular structural effect at a given section for all load positions on its span.”

Two methods, viz, static method and virtual displacement method are used for the construction of ILD’ s. Mostly it is the later method which is prefered. All structures in general and Railway and Highway bridges in particular are frequently subjected to various types of moving loads. As influence lines describe variation at a particular section for all load positions on span, the effects of moving loads can be calculated very easily. It must be remembered that a system of moving loads moves as a unit. For Railway bridges standard cooper’ s E-60 and E-72 loadings are used whereas for highway bridges AASHTO lane loadings and truck loadings or sometimes tank loadings are used. When dealing with calculations regarding moving loads the problem is how to place the system so as to produce maximum effects at a given section. Sometimes mathematical criteria are used for the live load purpose and sometimes simple inspection is made. In each case influence lines help us simplify the things.

10.1. Statical Method of Constructing Influence L ines

In this method, a load may be placed at several positions within span/(s) and a mathematical expression for a particular structural effects at a section is set-up. By placing limits of X (the distance), the shape and ordinates of influence lines (called influence co-efficients also) can be determined.

For example consider the cantilever loaded below and let moment at fixed end A be represented by its influence line.

For a generalized load position as defined by distance X in the diagram, moment at A is.

BA

PX

l

LI.L.D. for Ma

Ma = − P (L − X) 0 < X < L

Minus sign with P shows a negative moment at A for all load positions (consider sign convention for moments)

Page 386: Structural Analysis

384 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

For X = 0 (load at point B) moment at A is − PL. Influence co-efficient is L at B. If X = L load is at A so moment at A is zero. Influence co-efficent is zero. In between A and B, moment at A varies linearly, joining the points, ILD for Ma is obtained. Now even if several loads are placed on the cantilever, Ma is simply the sum of all loads when multiplied by corresponding ordinates.

If a cantilever supports a ud.l, the above I.L.D for Ma is applicable. Consider a strip of width dX located at a distance X from free end,

10.2. Influence L ines for beam Reactions:

ILD’ s for reactions in case of simple beams and compound beams (determinate beams resting over several supports) can be drawn by using the already described procedure. Consider a simple beam with a single load sitting at any moment of time as shown

From statics it can be shown that

INFLUENCE LINES 385

When X = 0 (load at B); Ra = 0 and Rb = P (by putting limits in above expressions)

When X = L (load at A); Ra = P and Rb = 0 (by putting limits in above expressions)

Instead of maximum co-efficients equal to P it is costomary to have them equal to 1 so that these could be evaluated by the product of loads and respective ordinates and these diagrams become valid for several loads. So algebraically

Ra = ∑ Pi yi

Rb = ∑ Pi yi

10.3. Pr incipal of Vir tual Displacements:

Consider a simple beam under the action of load P as shown. Ra can be found by virtual displacements by imagining that support at A has been removed and beam is under the action of load P and Ra. Under the action of Ra, beam is displaced as A/B. The virtual work equation is

L

Ra × AA/ − Py = 0 (Force × displacement)

So Ra = PyAA/ where y is the displacement due to Ra under P.

If AA/ = 1, Ra = Py A result already obtained.

This procedure of drawing ILDs’ is more useful for the complicated cases.

10.4. Reactions for Compound Beams:

A beam resting over several supports which has been made determinate by the availability of inserted hinges at suitable points is called a compound beam. The following Rules must be kept in mind while constructing ILD’ s for such cases.

1. Points of I.L.D corresponding to supports should show zero displacement except where virtual displacement is given (in case of reactions).

2. Portion of the beam between hinges which are straight before virtual displacements should remain straight after virtual displacement.

3. If a beam is continuous over two consecutive support and there is a hinge after these two supports, that portion of beam behaves a unit in case the virtual displacement is given elsewhere.

4. Portions of beam between pins which is straight before virtual displacement, shall remain

Page 388: Structural Analysis

386 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

straight after virtual displacement.

Considering these guidelines given, draw influence lines for reactions for the following beam.

Evaluation of maximum upward and down reaction due to concentrated loads and udl can be done by using the basic principles described already.

If several moving loads, from right to left direction, approach left hand support of a simple beam, the left reaction continues to increase and becomes maximum till leading wheel is at the left support. This corresponding first maxima will decrease immediately if the load falls off and leaves the span from left upon further advance, reaction at left support will start increasing and will become maximum again when second wheel is at the left support. So there will be as many maxima as is the number of loads.

Evaluation of reactions due to live load udl is rather simple as the span portion required to be loaded for maximum upward and downward support reactions are obvious by the simple inspection. Of course positive areas if loaded will give maximum upward reactions and vice-versa.

388 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

10.5. Influence L ines for Shear Force:

In structural analysis, normally we develop the methods by considering simple cases and some generalized conclusions are drawn which can then be applied to more complicated cases. So consider the following simple beam wherein a moving load (right to left) occupies the position shown at any instant of time.

Using left-up and write-down as sign convention for positive shear force.

Ra Rb

For all load positions to right of point C, the shear force for at C (Vc) is equal to + Ra.

Vc = Ra

It means that for load position between point B and C, the Shape of ILD for SF at C will be the same as the shape of ILD for + Ra.

For all load positions to left of point C, the shear force at C (Vc) is equal to − Rb.

Vc = − Rb

It means that for load position between point A and C, the shape of ILD for SF at C will the same as shape of ILD for −Rb. Knowing that positive ILD is drawn above the reference line and negative ILD is drawn below the reference line, we obtain the ILD for Vc as shown below with the help of ILD’ s for reactions (+ Ra1 − Rb)

Page 391: Structural Analysis

INFLUENCE LINES 389

Mathematically

Ra = PXL 0 < X < L

Rb = P (L − X)

L 0 < X < L

At X= 0, load is at B and Vc is zero. At x= b, load is at C and Vc = + Ra = PbL or

bL if P= 1.

The ordinates aL and

bL can be obtained by using similar triangles. Now inspect the ILD for Vc.

For a right to left advance of load system, Vc keeps on increasing till the “ leading load is at the section” , when leading load just crosses the section, Vc drops by the magnitude of load and this process continues. So we can write that for maximum SF at a section, “ the load should be at that section” . This is the first criterion of calculation of Vmax. Now the question comes to mind that which load among the moving load system should be placed at the section? To address this question, we have noted, that change in SF at a section, ∆V, is equal to change in Ra (∆Ra) minus the load leaving the Section. (Pn)

So, ∆V = ∆Ra − Pn

If W is sum of all the loads on the span L before advance of a, it can be shown that

∆Ra = WaL

So, ∆V = WaL − Pn

Any load which reverses this expression, should be brought back and placed at that section to realize the maximum SF at that section. So a change in the sign of above expression can be regarded as the second criterion for maximum shear force at a section.

It can also be shown that loads entering or leaving the span as a result of any particular advance do not affect the above expression very significantly.

The above method is called the statical method. The same shape of ILD for Vc can be obtained by virtual displacement method also.

Now imagine that resistance to vertical displacement at C has been destroyed (imagine a sort of cut at the section) and the vertical shear force as shown (opposite to sign convention for positive shear force). The area enclosed between the original position before virtual displacement and the deformed position after virtual displacement is the ILD for Vc.

It means that for portion BC, the shape of ILD for Mc is the same as the shape of ILD for Ra multiplied by distance a.

The virtual work equation is

work done by loads = work done by the moments.

P × y = M × δθ.

Or M = Pyδθ

So, if δθ = 1; the moment at Section C for a single load system will be load multiplied by corresponding influence ordinate (influence co-efficient) while constructing ILD’ s by virtual displacements, loads are not considered. Now construct ILD for Mc by virtual displacements.

At Section C, we imagine that the beam resistance to moments which produce rotations has been destroyed while resistance to shear and axial loads is intact. This situation is obtained by considering that at Section C; there is a sort of hinge (one degree of freedom system). On this hinge the moments are

Page 394: Structural Analysis

392 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

applied on two sides of hinge as shown alone. The segments of beam rotate and the displaced beam position is ILD for Mc.

The one-degree of freedom system such as a hinge is further explained in diagrams shown which

illustrate the movement. This procedure can now be applied to more complicated cases where statical

approach may be laborious.

The method of virtual displacements can be applied to more complicated cases like compound

beams etc., by considering the basic ideas established in this chapter.

10.7. Evaluation of Mmax at a Section

In case of a simple beam supporting a moving load system, the maximum moment at a section is obtained when

1. One of the loads is at the section.

2. In case of several moving loads, that load shall be placed at the Section, for producing maximum moment at that Section, which reverses the average loading on two portions of span adjacent to Section.

Average loading on any portion = sum of all loads on that portion

10.8. Absolute Maximum bending Moment

In case of a series of moving loads traverse on a beam, the absolute maximum bending moment occurs near the mid span under the adjusted position of that load which gave us maximum bending moment at mid span. Procedure is as follows:

1. Apply the criteria of maximum bending moment at mind span to find the load which is to be placed at mid span.

2. For this position of loads find the position of resultant of all loads on span.

3. Move the system slightly so that mid-span is bisected by the resultant of all loads on span and the load which gives us maximum bending moment at mid-span.

4. Find absolute maximum bending moment. It will occur under displaced position of that load which gave us maximum bending moment at mid-span.

Considering that invariably loads would be magnified for design purpose and appreciating that the numerical difference between the values of maximum mid-span bending moment and absolute maximum bending moment is insignificant, evaluation of absolute maximum bending moment for a given moving load system appears to be of theoretical interest only. How interested students can evaluate it for only moving load system by considering the above four points and guidelines contained in this chapter.

10.9. Girders with Floor beams (Panelled girders)

Normally in bridge construction, moving loads are hardly applied to the main girders directly but instead following arrangement is used for the load transfer.

The moving load system comes on the stringers which transfer it to the main girder through floor beams in form of concentrated loads (Reactions of floor beams). So main girder is subjected to concentrated loads only. For large spans the main girder may be of steel, poured in-situ reinforced concrete or pre-stressed concrete. Points a, b, c, …. F are called panel points and the distance between any two panel points is called a panel.

With the above mentioned load-transfer mechanisms, it can be easily seen that ILD’ s for main reactions remain same as that for a simple beam as discussed already.

Page 396: Structural Analysis

394 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

As there will be no load on the main girder except floor beam reactions, it is stated that for a given load position, the shear force within a panel remains constant so we can talk of shear force in panels rather that shear force at a section (panel and becomes a section). Let us now construct ILD’ s for shear force for various panels of girder already shown.

10.10. ILD For Vab (ILD for shear in end panel)

If a load P is placed at a distance X from panel point b, then reactions at panel points a and b

will be PXd and

P(d − X)d respectively.

Pa = Panel point load at a or reaction of floor beam at a = Pxd , 0 < X < d

Pb = Panel poiint load at b or reaction of floor beam at b = P(d − X)

d 0 < X < d.

if X = 0, load P will be at b, then Pa = 0 and Pb = P

if X = d, load P will be at a, then Pa = P and Pb = 0 So, Vab ≡ 0

In between a and b, shear force varies linearly.

Now inspect the shape of ILD for Vab, it resembles with the shape of ILD for moment at point b considering the panelled girder as a simple beam. So to evaluate (Vab)max, criteria of max bending moment at a section b (reversal of average loading expression) will be applied.

10.11. ILD for Vef (ILD for shear in other end panel)

The construction of ILD for Vef is same as that for Vab and same arguments apply. Inspecting this diagram, it is clear that the shape resembles with ILD for bending moment at e if panelled girder was treated as a simple beam. So to evaluate (Vef)max, the criteria for maximum bending at point e shall be applied.

10.12. ILD for Ved (ILD for shear in intermediate panel)

Considering the load P on panel cd acting at a distance X from panel point d.

Pd = Panel point load at d or floor-beam reaction at d = P(d − X)

d , 0 < X < d.

Pc = Panel point load at c or floor-beam reaction at c = P(X)

d , 0 < X < d.

If load is to right of d; Vcd = + Ra So, ILD for Vcd for this region will be the same as that for Ra. If load is to left of C, Vcd = − Rb. So for this region shape of ILD for Vcd will be the same as the shape of ILD for − Rb. Now third possibility is load actinig on span CD itself as shown.

Inspecting the expressions for panel point loads at d and c stated above, we observe that the shear Vcd within the panel varies linearly. So joining the ordinates under points C and D by a straight line will complete ILD for Vcd.

10.13. Evaluation of (Vcd)max (Maximum shear force in intermediate panel)

If a moving load is advanced at point d in a direction from right to left, considering W/ is resultant of all loads on span CD, the following criteria can be easily developed as a consequence of variation of shear force is panel CD due to an advance.

WL >

W/

d

Any load which reverses the above criteria shall give (Vcd)max.

Page 399: Structural Analysis

INFLUENCE LINES 397

10.14. ILD for Mmn

Section mn is located within panel bc. Same technique can be applied for constructing ILD for Mmn. If load P is to right of panel point C.

Mmn = Ra × a.

It means that if load is between points c and f, the shape of ILD for Mmn will be the same as shape of ILD for Ra multiplied by a. If load P is to left of panel point b, then.

Mmn = Rb × b.

It means that if load is between points a and b, then shape of ILD for Mmn will be the same as shape of ILD for Rb multiplied by b. Now consider load within panel bc with P acting at a distance X from c.

Pb = PXd and Pc =

P(d − X)d 0 < X < d.

then Mmn = Pb yb + Pc yc = PXd yb +

P(d − X)d yc 0 < X < d.

So between the panel, the moment varies linearly. Therefore joing the ordinates of ILD for Mmn at b and c by a straight line, we complete the ILD for Mmn.

Now it is understood that SF is generally maximum near the support while moment is generally maximum near the mid-span. So ILD for Mmn can also be used to evaluate corresponding maxima. If criteria of maximum bending moment is applied at a section corresponding to bigger ordinate, then (Mmn)max can be calculated for a moving load system.

10.15. ILD for Mc

At the panel points, the load is directly transmitted to the main girder and the panel girder behaves as a simple beam at the panel points. So ILD for Mc will be drawn considering the girder as a simple beam.

10.16. Influence L ines for axial forces in Truss Members:

As before, let us consider a simple case of parallel chord truss carrying loads at its lower chord. The conclusions obtained are general and can be extended to non-parallel chord trusses.

ILD for S1

When a moving load system traverses the bottom chord of this trussed bridge, it is known that forces in top chord members will be compressive in nature while that in bottom chord will be tensile in nature. The forces in chord members are a function of moment divided by truss height. For a chord member take “ moment at the point where other two members completing the same triangle meet divided by height of truss.” This has already been established in this book when discussing method of moments and shears. So applying this S1 is a compressive force, so assigned a negative sign, equal to moment at C divided by the height of truss. So considering the truss as a simple beam, draw an ILD for Mc and divide it by the height of Truss. (S1)max can be evalutated by applying the criteria of maximum bending moment (Average loadings) at point C considering the truss as a simple beam.

Page 401: Structural Analysis

INFLUENCE LINES 399

ILD for S3

It is a tensile force equal to moment at D divided by height of Truss. (S3)max can be evalauted by applying the criteria of maximum bending moment at point D.

ILD for S2

It is known that axial force in an inclined member is ± V

± Cosθ . Minus before Cosθ shall be taken

if the angle “ between inclined member and vertical” is counterclockwise. Now if the load is right of D, SF applicable to member 2 is + Ra. So corresponding portion of ILD for + Ra is taken. This is divided by − Cosθ. If the load is to left of C, SF applicable to member 2 is − Rb. So corresponding portion of ILD for − Rb is taken. This is again divided by − Cosθ. In between the panel SF varies linearly so we can join the corresponding points.

The shape of ILD for S2 resembles with the shape of ILD for intermediate panel shear in a panelled girder. So (S2)max can be evaluated by applying the criteria of maximum intermediate panel shear.

ILD for S4

If the load is at E or right of E, Force in member 4 is zero and if load is at or to left of point C, again the force in member 4 is zero. If the load is at F, the same will be the tensile force in member. Using these boundary conditions, ILD for S4 is constructed. Now inspect its shape. It resembles with the shape of ILD for moment at F (or D) in an equivalent simple beam of span CE. So (S4)max can be evaluated by applying the criteria of maximum bending moment (average loading criteria) at F (or D).

10.17.1. ILD for hor izontal thrust H

Horizontal thrust H is developed at the springings (supports) of an arch. Examine the formula

for H

H =

µcyc . So ILD for H will be obtained if ILD for moment at centre is drawn, considering the

arch to be a simple bam, and is then divided by yc. The peak ordinate of ILD for H will be Lµyc. (H)max

due to a moving load system can be obtained by applynig the criteria of maximum bending moment at the centre.

10.17.2. ILD for Moment in the arch

From the Eddy’ s theorem we know that bending moment in the arch at a distance x from support is

Mx = µx − Hy

where µx = simple span bending moment at a distance X.

Page 403: Structural Analysis

INFLUENCE LINES 401

So as a first step, we construct ILD for simple span bending moment at a distance X. Then we subtract the ILD for Hy. The net area between these two diagrams is the ILD for moment in the arch as shown.

10.18. Standard Leadings

For the design of Railway bridges standard Cooper’ s E-60 and E-72 loadings consisting of two locomotives each weighing 213 tons on 18 axles each followed by infinite udl representing compartments is considered. Structural affects obtained for a E loading can be used to get the same for another E loading by simply multiplying them with the ratio of E loadings.

Original E-60 or E-72 loadings are in kip-ft. system as follows:

43.8 KN/m

Distance between loads is in meters. For highway bridges AASHTO HS24-44 loading is internationally considered and it consists of a Tractor and Semi-trailer with three axles carrying 0.2W, 0.4W and 0.4W respectively. These loads when converted into kips are 16k, 32k and 32k. Standard AASHTO lane loading is probably 100 lbs/ft2.

However, in our country, due to circumstances 70 ton tank loading or Truck-train loading described in Pakistan Highway code can be used.

We shall use railway loadings only. Let us solve some typical problems now.

Example No.1: In a girder with Floor beams having five equal panels of length 9 meters each. Determine (a) Maximum positive and negative end panel shears. (b) Maximum Shear in the first intermediate panel from left hand end. The live load is Coopers E-72 loading.

It means that once 3rd load of 160 KN crosses point b, the criterion is reversed so for maximum end panel shear, 3rd load of 160 KN should be placed at point b. Now place the system of loads accordingly and compute corresponding ordinates.

(Mc)max = 160 (4.11 + 5.25 + 4.87 + 4.49 + 4.11) = 3652.8 KN-m

(Md)max

This section is mid span of beam. Clearly applying the criteria of maximum bending moment at D (comparing Average loadings on AB and BD), we get

So position before 3rd advance (or after 2nd advance) will give us (Md)max. Place the loads accordingly and compute influence co-efficients.

y1 = y5 = 5.48 y2 = y4 = 6.24 y3 = 7

So, (Md)max = 160 (5.48 + 6.24 + 7 + 6.24 + 5.48)

= 4870.4 KN-m

CHAPTER ELEVEN

11. THREE HINGED ARCHES

These are Curved Structures which are in use since ancient times. These were mostly used in buildings and the abatements used to be very thick. As our analysis capacity increased due to faster computers, it is now possible to understand behaviour of arches for various support, load and material conditions. These days arch bridges either in Reinforced concrete or the pre-stressed concrete are becoming a common sight due to asthetics of curved surfaces.

Arches when loaded by gravity loads, exhibit appreciable compressive stresses. At supports, horizontal reaction (thrust) is also developed which reduces the bending moment in the arch.

Aches can be built in stone, masonry, reinforced concrete and steel. They can have a variety of end conditions like three hinged arches, two hinged arches and find arches. Considering the geometry these can be segmental, parabolic and circular. An arch under gravity loads generally exhibits three structural actions at any cross-section within span including shear force, bending moment and axial compressive force. The slope of centerline of arch keeps on varying along span so above mentioned three structural actions also vary along span.

11.1. Eddy’ s theorem: The bending moment at any point on the arch is the difference between simple span bending moment and product Hy” .

Where H is the horizontal thrust at supports (springings), y is the rise of arch at a distance X from the origin.

Shape of simple span bending moment diagram due to applied loads is also called linear arch. Hy may also be termed as equation of centerline of actual arch multiplied by a constant (H).

Consider the following arch carrying the loads P1, P2 and P3. The shaded area is the BMD.

Bending moment at X is

MX = VaX − Hy − P1(X − a)

MX = µX − Hy. (Eddy’ s theorem)

Page 429: Structural Analysis

THREE HINGED ARCHES 425

Where µz = Va × x − P1(X − a) = Simple span bending moment considering the arch to be a simple beam.

The inclined axial force (normal thrust) also contributes towards vertical shear force in addition to applied loads and reactions.

11.2. Three-hinged arch:

If an arch contains three hinges such that two hinges are at the supports and the third one anywhere within span, it is called a three hinged arch. This type of arch is statically determinate wherein reactions, horizontal thrust and all internal structural actions can be easily determined by using the laws of equilibrium and statics. If the third hinge is provided at the highest point, it is called crown of the arch.

Consider a three hinged arch with third hinge at the crown, then

MX = µX − Hy (1) becomes at center

Mc = µc − Hyc = 0

SO H = µc

Yc (2)

Cutting the arch as shown, and projecting forces along axis 1−1 and 2−2 and putting V = Va − P1 we have.

P = H Cosθ + VSinθ (3) along 1−1

Q = H Sin θ − Vcos θ (4) along 2 − 2

11.3. Parabolic Arch If a three-hinged parabolic arch carries udl over its span, the arch will carry pure compression and no SF or BM. This is because the shape of linear arch (BMD due to loads) will be the same as shape of actual arch.

For a parabolic arch having origin at either of springings, the equation of centre line of arch at a distance X from origin where rise is y will be.

y = C.X (L − X) (5) constant C will be evaluated from boundary conditions.

at X = L2 , y = yc. we get

Yc = C. L2 .

L2 or C =

So y = 4 yc

The slope θ can be calculated from

dydX = tan θ =

11.4. Circular Arch:

If arch is a part of Circle, it is convenient to have origin at the centre.

Consider triangle OEF OE2 = EF2 + OF2 Or R2 = X2 + (R −yc + y)2 (8)

and we also have from triangle ADO

Equation (8) can bge written as y = R2 − X2 − (R − yc)

Step 1. Reactions:

As before reactions are same.

Step 2. Equation of Circular Arch

The general equation is (X − h)2 + (y − k)2 = r2

h and k are co-ordinates at the centre and r is radius of Circle. There are three unknown in above equation, Viz, h, k and r and these can be determined from the following boundary conditions. Origin is at point A.

Boundary conditions

1. At X = 0, y = 0 It gives (−h)2 + (−k)2 = r2

h2 + k2 = r2 (1)

2. At X= 20, y = 0 It gives (20 − h)2 + (−k2) = r2

400 + h2 − 40h + k2 = r2 (2)

3. At X= 10, Y = 4 It gives (10 − h)2 + (4 − k)2 = r2

100 + h2 − 20h + 16 + k2 − 8k = r2

116 + h2 − 20h + k2 − 8k = r2 (3)

Or

Subtract (1) from (2) we get

400 − 40h = 0

h = 10

Page 433: Structural Analysis

THREE HINGED ARCHES 429

Put value of h in (1) and 3

100 + k2 = r2 (1)

116 + 100 − 200 + k2 − 8k = r2 (3)

or 16 + k2 − 8k = r2 (3) 16 + k2 − 8k = 100 + k2 (by putting Value of r2 from 1) 8k = 16 − 100 = − 84

k = −848 = − 10.5

Putting k = − 10.5 in (3) we get r2 = 16 + (− 10.5)2 + 8 x 10.5 = 16 + 110.25 + 84 = 210.25 So r = 14.5 meters.

Putting Values of h, k and r in general equation, we get

(X − 10)2 + (y + 10.5)2 = 14.52 Simplify it, we get.

y = − 10.5 + 14.52 − (X − 10)2

(y + 10.5)2 = 14.52 − (X − 10)2

= − 10.5 + 210.25 − X2 − 100 + 20X

y = − 10.5 + 110.25 − X2 + 20X (4)

We know, yc (2r − yc) = L2

and

y = r2 −

used in derivation earlier.

Alternatively to avoid evaluation of constants each time, equations (5) and (6) can be used.

Equation (6) is the equation of Centre-line of Circular arch.

Step 3: Calculation of Maximum moment.

Maximum positive moment occurs in span AC. Write MX expression

MX = 375X − 50X2

2 − 312.5 y put y from (4) above.

= 375X − 25X2 − 312.5 [− 10.5 + 110.25 − X2 + 20X ]

MX = 375X − 25X2 + 3281.25 − 312.5 110.25 − X2 + 20X

Page 434: Structural Analysis

430 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

Now maximum moment occurs where shear force is zero. So

dMX

dX = VX = 375 − 50X −

312.5 (− 2X + 20)2 110.25 − X2 + 20X

375 − 50X = 312.5 (−X + 10)110.25 − X2 + 20X

divide by 50

7.5 − X = 6.25 (10 − X)

110.25 − X2 + 20X multiply by − 1 , We get

X − 7.5 = 6.25 (X − 10)

110.25 − X2 + 20X

(X − 7.5) 110.25 − X2 + 20X = 6.25 (X − 10) square both sides

(X − 7.5)2 (110.25 − X2 + 20X) = 6.252 (X − 10)2 Simplify

(X2 − 15X + 56.25) (110.25 − X2 + 20X) = 39.0625 (X2 − 20X + 100)

or 110.25X2 − X4 + 20X3 − 1653.75X + 15X3 − 300X2 = 39.0625X2 − 781.25X + 3906.25

Simplifying

− X4 + 35X3 − 285.0625X2 + 252.5X + 2295.3125 = 0

or X4 − 35X3 + 285.0625X2 − 252.5X − 2295.3125 = 0

Now it is considered appropriate to solve this equation by Modified Newton – Raphson iteration solutions which in general is

Xn+ 1 = Xn + f (xn)f / (Xn) (A)

So f (X) = X4 − 35X3 + 285.0625X2 − 252.5X − 2295.3125

And differentiate, f/ (X) = 4X3 − 105X2 + 570.125X − 252.5

In general, it is recommended that first root Xn should be always taken at 1 because it converges very fast. However, knowing that B. M will be maximum near the middle of portion AC, we take Xn = 2 (to reduce number of iterations possibly) and solve in the following tabular form. Evaluate f(X) and f/(Xn) expressions.

Iteration Number Xn f(Xn) f/ (Xn) Xn+ 1 from A above

So we get Xn and Xn + 1 as same after 4th iteration.

So X = 5.418 m put this in MX expressions

Mmax = 375 (5.418) − 25 (5.418)2 + 3281.25 − 312.5 110.25 − 5.4182 + 20 × 5.418

= 280.066 KN-m

Maximum negative moment in the arch

Let us assume that it occurs in portion BC at a distance X from A (10 < X < 20)

MX = 125 (20 − X) − 312.5 (− 10.5 + 110.25 − X2 + 20X ) Simplify

= 2500 − 125X + 3281.25 − 312.5 110.25 − X2 + 20X

or MX = 5781.25 − 125X − 312.5 110.25 − X2 + 20X

Maximum moment occurs where SF is zero, So differentiate MX expression w.r.t. X.

dMX

dX = 0 = − 125 − 312.5 (− 2X + 20)

2 110.25 − X2 + 20X

or 0 = − 125 + 312.5(X − 10)110.25 − X2 + 20X

125 110.25 − X2 + 20X = 312.5 (X − 10) squaring both sides. We have,

15625 (110.25 − X2 + 20X) = 97656.25 (X2 − 20X + 100) Simplify

110.25 − X2 + 20X = 6.25 (X2 − 20X + 100)

0 = 7.25X2 − 145X + 514.75 dividing by 7.25

X2 − 20X + 71 = 0 Solve this quadretic equation.

X = 20 ± 400 − 284

2

X = 20 ± 10.77

2 = 15.385m from A Put this value of X in MX expression above.

So Mmax = 5781.25 − 125 × 15.385 − 312.5 110.25 − (15.385)2 + 20 (15.385)

= 5781.25 − 1923.125 − 312.5 181.257 = − 349.115KN.m

Multiply this Equation by 12 and subtract equation (3) from it.

45VB − 12H = 0 (3)

_______________________________

60 VA − 54000 − 45VB = 0 (4)

Multiply Equation (1) by 45 and add in equation (4)

45VA + 45VB = 81000 (1)

60 VA − 45VB = 54000

Adding we get.

105 VA = 135000

or VA = 135000

105

VA = 1285.7 KN , put this value in equation (1)

so VB = 514.3 KN

We know, 45VB − 12H = 0 (3) , from this

H = 45 × VB

at X = 45 , y = yc + δ = 12

Putting (45 − h)2 + (12 − k)2 = R2 Simplifying it.

2025 − 90h + h2 + 144 − 24k + k2 = R2

Page 440: Structural Analysis

436 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

2025 + 144 − 90h − 24k + h2 + k2 = R2 (2) Simplifying

2169 − 90h − 24k + h2 + k2 = R2 (2)

at X = 90 , y = 3 [ point A ]

(90 – h)2 + (3 – k)2 = R2 Simplifying

Put these values, 8100 − 180h + h2 + 9 + k2 − 6k = R2

8109 − 180h − 6k + h2 + k2 = R3 (3)

Equating (1) with (2) and multiply resulting equation by 2 and then equation (1) and (3)

2 [2169 − 90h − 24k = 0] ~ (4) or 4338 − 180h − 48k = 0 (4)

8109 − 180h − 6k = 0 ~ (5)

Subtract (4) from (5), we have

k = − 3771

k = − 89.79

Put in Eq (4)

2169 − 90h – 24 (− 89.79) = 0

h = 4323.86

90

h = 48.04

Now from (1)

(48.04)2 + (−89.79)2 = R2

R = 101.83m

Now write equation of center-line of arch.

y = R2 − (X − h)2 + k

= (101.83)2 − (X − 48.04)2 + (− 89.79)

y = (10369.35 − X2 − 2307.84 + 96.08X) – 89.79 (A)

Point B: At X = 0 , y = 0 (see diagram now)

Point C: At X = 45 , y = 12

Point A: At X = 90 , y = 3

So Eq ,(A) has been correctly derived.

(40X − 2314.3) (8061.51 − X2 + 96.08X)½ = 964.315 (2X − 96.08)

(40X − 2314.3)2 (806151 − X2 + 96.08X) = [1928.63 (X − 48.04)]2

Squaring and simplifying, we get.

(1600X2+ (2314.3)2−185144X) (8061.51−X2+ 96.08X)= 1928.6322 (X2+ 2307.84−96.08X) Simplifying

f(X) = X4 − 211.8X3 + 8728.63X2 + 387848X − 21634812.5 differentiate it.

f/ (X) = 4X3 − 635.4X2 + 17457.26X + 387848

To cut-short, Let X = 55 (Because it is portion AC and X has to be more than 45)

Page 442: Structural Analysis

438 THEORY OF INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES

So f(X) = (55)4 − 211.8 × (55)3 + 8728.63 × (55)2 + 387848 (55) − 21634812.5

= 1333.25

f/(x) = Xn+ 1

Now X = 54.85 (use this update value now)

f(X) = −560.16

f/(X) = 93833.35

Xn+ 1 = Xn − f(n)f/(n)

= 54.85 − (−560.16)93833.35

Xn+ 1 or X = 54.855969. The value of X has converged now.

Putting this value of X in Equation B to find (Mac)max

(Mac)max = 126884.69 − 20 (54.855969)2 + 2314.3 (54.855969)

− 1928.63 (8061.51 − (54.855969)2 + 96.08 × 54.855969)½

(8061.51− X2 + 96.08X)½ = 0 ,

− 514.3 (8061.51 − X2 + 96.08X)1/2 = 1928.63 (X − 48.04)

Squaring both sides of equation.

264504.5 [ (8061.51 − X2 + 96.08X)1/2]2 = [1928.63 (X − 48.04)]2

we get.

264504.5 (8061.51 − X2 + 96.08X) = (1928.63)2(X2 + 2307.84 − 96.08X) Simplifying

2132305672 − 264504.5X2 + 25413592.36X= 3719613.68X2 + 8584273228 − 357380482.1X

− 6451967556 − 3984118.18X2 + 382794074.1 on further simplification, we get

− X2 + 96.08X − 1619.422 = 0 (after dividing by 3984118.18)

or X2 − 96.08X + 1619.422 = 0 solving this quadretic equation where.

a = 1, b = −96.08, C = 1619.422

X = −b ± b2 − 4ac

X = 96.08 ± (96.08)2 − 4(1) (1619.422)

X = 96.08 + 52.47

2 Or 96.08 − 52.47

= 74.24 or 1.80

Therefore, (X = 74.24 is not applicable so not accepted as a root.

X = 21.80m

Put this value of X in equation (C), we have (Mbc)max.

Putting in (c)

(Mbc)max = 514.3X − 1928.63 10369.35 − X2 − 2307.84 + 96.08X + 173171.69

We have solved some representative problems. Using the guidance given in this chapter a student should be able to solve any problem on three hinged parabolic or circular arches, whether supports are at the same level or not.
