Module 4 - Structural Analysis of Frames

Introduction: A frame is composed of straight members connected


either by rigid (moment-resisting) connections or by hinged
connections to form stable configuration. The members of a frame are
usually connected by rigid joints, although hinged connections are
sometimes used. A rigid joint prevents relative translations and
rotations of the member ends connected to it, so the joint is capable of
transmitting two rectangular force components and a couple between
the connected members. Under the action of external loads, the
members of a frame may be, in general, subjected to bending moment,
shear, and axial tension or compression. A frame is considered to be
statically determinate if the bending moments, shears, and axial forces
in all members, as well as all external reactions, can be determined by
using the equations of equilibrium. It is often necessary to draw shear
and moment diagrams to design frames.

Learning Outcomes: At the end of the module, students are expected


to do a structural analysis of a frame. Specifically, the students can:
1. Calculate reactions at supports;
2. Draw shear diagram, bending moment diagram, and deflection
curve; and
3. Calculate deflection and slopes in a frame.

Procedure for analysis of frames


The following is a procedure for constructing the shear and moment
diagrams for a frame
1. Determine the support reactions for the frame, if possible.
2. Determine the joint reactions A, V, and M at the end of each member
using the method of sections.
3. Construct both shear and moment diagrams just as in beams.
4. Compute for deflection.
We will use the following sign convention: always draw the moment
diagram on the compression side of the member.
Determine the support reactions at pin A and roller C
Cut member BC, solve for internal forces at joint B (Bx, By and MB).
Transfer these forces (oppositely directed) to member BA.
Draw V and M diagrams for members AB and BC.
Deflections in Beams and Frames by Energy Method
1= external virtual unit load acting on the beam in the stated
direction of Δ
m = internal virtual moment in a beam caused by the external virtual
unit load
Δ = external joint displacement caused by the real load on the beam
M = internal moment in a beam caused by the real load
L = length of beam
I = moment of inertia of cross-sectional
E = modulus of elasticity of the beam

Similarly the rotation angle at any point on the beam can be


determined, a unit couple moment is applied at the point and the
corresponding internal moment m have to be determined
Example 1
Determine the displacement at point B of a steel beam E = 200 Gpa ,
I = 500(106) mm4
Example 2
Determine the Slope θ and displacement at point B of a steel
Beam E = 200 Gpa , I = 60(106) mm4
Example 3

(a) Determine the slope and the horizontal displacement of point C on


the frame.
(b) Draw the bending moment diagram and deflected curve.
E = 200 GPa I = 200(106) mm4
