CIVL3310 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS Chapter 7: Approximate Analysis of Statically Indeterminate Structures Professor CC Chang
Approximate Analysis • Preliminary analysis for complex indeterminate structures • Involve some assumptions & different answers are possible
Structural Analogy 12 m 20 kN 20 kN 20 kN 20 kN 20 kN C=T=67.5 kN 6@9 m= 54 m V=30 kN M=810 kN∙m 12 m 20 kN 20 kN 20 kN 20 kN 20 kN Fy=30 kN FBK=37.5 kN 50 kN 50 kN Shear (kN) moment (kN∙m)
Structural Analogy 3 degrees of indeterminacy P1 P2 R2 R1 Stiff diagonal members assume Fa=Fb Weak diagonal members assume Fb=0 (no compression)
Example 7.1 • Determine (approximately) the forces in the members of the truss. The diagonals are designed to support both tensile and compressive forces
Inflection Points Points of zero moment: internal hinges (Deflection shape: zero curvature)
Inflection Points Clamped BC Under UDL
Inflection Points Assumed clamped Location: 0.2L
Inflection Points 0.2L 0.2L L
Example 7.3 Determine (approximately) the moment at the joints E and C.
Frames under Horizontal Loads Inflection point 1 degree indeterminacy hinge
Example 7.4 Determine (approximately) the forces acting in the members of the Warren portal.
Frames under Horizontal Loads • Portal method • Inflection points • Shear forces
Frames under Horizontal Loads • Cantilever method • Inflection points • Axial forces
7. Approximate Analysis • Structural analogy • What are inflection points? • How to analyze frames under vertical loads? • How can inflection points be used to simplify the analysis? • What are portal method and cantilever method?
