DETERMINACY AND STABILITY


Structural Systems I
Idealized structure

It is important that the structural engineer develop the


ability to model or idealize a structure so that he or she can
perform a practical force analysis of the members.
Support Connections

Support in a structure is a member which helps other member


to resist loads.

• Pin connection (allows some freedom for slight rotation)


• Roller support (allows some freedom for slight rotation)
• Fixed joint (allows no relative rotation)

Idealized Structure

 An exact analysis of a structure can never be carried out, since estimates always
have to be made of the loadings and the strength of the materials composing
the structure.

structural engineer can perform a practical force analysis of the members
Superposition principles

• The total disp. or internal loadings (stress) at a point in a


structure subjected to several external loadings can be
determined by adding together the displacements or
internal loadings (stress) caused by each of the external
loads acting separately
• Linear relationship exist among loads, stresses &
displacements
Superposition principles

2 requirements for the principle to apply:


• Material must behave in a linear-elastic manner, Hooke’s
Law is valid
• The geometry of the structure must not undergo
significant change when the loads are applied, small
displacement theory
Equations of Equilibrium

• For equilibrium:

å Fx = 0 å Fy = 0 å Fz = 0
å M x =0 å M y =0 å M z =0

• For most structures, it can be reduced to:

å Fx = 0
å Fy = 0
å M o =0
Equations of Equilibrium
Determinacy (Statikçe belirlilik)

• Equilibrium eqns provide sufficient conditions for


equilibrium
• All forces can be determined strictly from these eqns
• No. of unknown forces > equilibrium eqn => statically
indeterminate
• This can be determined using a free body diagram
Determinacy (Statikçe belirlilik)

If a structure is statically indeterminate, the additional equations


needed to solve for the unknown reactions are obtained by relating
the applied loads and reactions to the displacement or slope at
different points on the structure.
These equations, which are referred to as compatibility equations,
must be equal in number to the degree of indeterminacy of the
structure.
