A pin-jointed truss ABCD is shown in Figure 3.17 in which both a vertical and a
horizontal load are applied at joint B as indicated. Determine the magnitude and direction
of the resultant deflection at joint B and the vertical deflection at joint D.
Assume the cross- =
sectional area of all
members is equal to A
and all_ members are
made from the same
material, i.e. have the
same modulus of ~—f
elasticity E

Step 1: Evaluate the member forces. The reader should follow the procedure given in
Example 3.1 to determine the following results:
Horizontal component of reaction at support A Hy=-20.0kN 4
Vertical component of reaction at support A Va=-429KN |
Vertical component of reaction at supportC — Ve=+ 14.29 kN 7
Use the method of sections or joint resolution as indicated in Sections 3.2 and 3.3
respectively to determine the magnitude and sense ofthe unknown member forces (ie. the
P forces).
The reader should complete this calculation to determine the member forces as indicated
in Figure 3.18.

Step 2: To determine the vertical deflection at joint B remove the externally applied load
system and apply a unit load only in a vertical direction at joint B as shown in
Figure 3.19. Use the method of sections or joint resolution as before to determine the
magnitude and sense of the unknown member forces (i. the u forces).

3.5.3.1 Fabrication Errors — (Lack-offit)
During fabrication it is not unusual for a member length to be slightly too short or too long
and assembly is achieved by forcing members in to place. The effect of this can be
accommodated very easily in this method of analysis by adding additional terms relating
to each member for which lack-of-fit applies. The dL term for the relevant members is
equal to the magnitude of the error in length, ic. 4, where negative values relate to
members which are too short and positive values to members which are too long.
(Note: under normal applied loading the 62 term -4 )
3.5.3.2 Changes in Temperature
The effects of temperature change in members can also be accommodated in a similar
manner; in this case the dL term is related to the coefficient of thermal expansion for the
material, the change in temperature and the original length,
ie. SL = aby
where
@ isthe coefficient of thermal expansion,
L isthe original length,
‘Ar is the change in temperature — a reduction being considered negative and an increase
being positive.
Since this is an elastic analysis the principle of superposition can be used to obtain results
when a combination of applied load, lack-of-fit and/or temperature difference occurs. This
is illustrated in Example 3.5.
3.5.4 Example 3.5: Lack-of-fit and Temperature Difference
Consider the frame indicated in Example 3.4 and determine the vertical deflection at
joint D assuming the existing loading and that member BC is too short by 2.0 mm,
‘member CD is too long by 1.5 mm and that members AD and CD are both subject to an
increase in temperature of 5°C. Assume a@=12.0 x 10°/°C and AE = 100 x 10° KN.
