Transcript of Lecture #5 Trusses and frames. Statically determinate trusses.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUSSES AND FRAMES
Trusses Frames
Members are subjected to tension/compression
only
At least one member is subjected to bending,
shear or torsion
Composed of rods Composed of bars
Usually more simple to calculate, more weight
effective
Usually more simple to manufacture, and to place in tight layout

TOPIC OF THE LECTURE
11
Methods of forces calculation:•Method of joints•Method of sections•Method of substitution of members
Supplementary tools:•Zero-force member identification •Principle of superposition•Use of symmetry
CONCLUSIONS
Method
of jointsMethod of sections
Method of substitution of
members
Effective for two-member joints
Effective when forces in few
certain members should be
determined
Used for complex
structures; numerical
methods should be considered as
an alternative
