Introductory Structural Analysis Problems Nielsen

1

Introduction: This book is intended as a study aid for students studying Introductory Structural Analysis. The Author has strived to present problems that would be found in a typical engineering class, in a hand drawn style that will be familiar to any student who has put pencil to engineering paper.

If any errors or omissions are discovered, please report them to NieKo Technical Publishing for correction in future editions.

Equations of Equilibrium Statically Determinate Structures

Beams Frames Trusses

Since the problems shown deal with 2 dimensional structures, the following equations of equilibrium are used throughout this book.

Sum of the forces in the X direction are zero.

∑Fx = 0

Sum of the forces in the Y direction are zero.

∑Fy = 0

Sum of the moments about the Z axis are zero.

∑M = 0
