They consists generally of triangular sub-element and are constructed and supported so as to prevent any motion. Frames -Definition Frames are structures that always contain at least one member acted on by forces at three or more points. Frames are constructed and supported so as to prevent any motion. Frame like structures that are not fully constrained are called machines or mechanisms. Truss Planar Trusses - lie in a single plane and all applied loads must lie in the same plane. Truss Space Trusses - are structures that are not contained in a single plane and/or are loaded out of the plane of the structure. Truss There are four main assumptions made in the analysis of truss 1 Truss members are connected together at their ends only. 2 Truss are connected together by frictionless pins. 3 The truss structure is loaded only at the joints. 4 The weights of the members may be neglected. Simple Truss The basic building block of a truss is a triangle. Large truss are constructed by attaching several triangles together A new triangle can be added truss by adding two members and a joint. A truss constructed in this fashion is known as a simple truss. Simple Truss It has been observed that the analysis of truss can be done by counting the number member and joints on the truss to determine the truss is determinate, unstable or indeterminate. Simple Truss A truss is analysis by using m=2*j-3, where m is number of members, j represents the number of joints and 3 represents the external support reactions. Simple Truss If m< 2j-3, then the truss is unstable and will collapse under load. If m> 2j-3, then the truss has more unknowns than know equations and is an indeterminate structure. If m= 2j-3, ensures that a simple plane truss is rigid and solvable, it is neither sufficient nor necessary to ensure that a non-simple plane truss is rigid and solvable. Simple Truss- Identify Determine type of simple truss is it determinate, indeterminate or unstable. Method of Joints -Truss The truss is made up of single bars, which are either in compression, tension or no-load. The means of solving force inside of the truss use equilibrium equations at a joint. This method is known as the method of joints. Method of Joints -Truss The method of joints uses the summation of forces at a joint to solve the force in the members. It does not use the moment equilibrium equation to solve the problem. In a two dimensional set of equations, F x 0 F y In three dimensions, F z 0 0 Method of Joints –Example Using the method of joints, determine the force in each member of the truss.

Using the method of Joints. Method of Sections -Truss The method of joints is most effective when the forces in all the members of a truss are to be determined. If however, the force is only one or a few members are needed, then the method of sections is more efficient. Method of Sections -Truss If we were interested in the force of member CE. We can use a cutting line or section to breakup the truss and solve by taking the moment about B. Method of Sections – Example Determine the forces in members FH, GH and GI of the roof truss.
