0 - STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
Week 1
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this week, students should be able to:
1) Identify the types of structures.
2) Calculate the degrees of static indeterminacy for beam,
frame and truss.
3) Classify the structure to unstable, statically determinate
and statically indeterminate.

Framed Building
The vertical elements are the
columns
The horizontal bands are the
beams
The flat surface on which you
can stand is the slab .
This building has ground floor,
first floor , second floor, and
terrace floor .
This building is a framed
building .

Structural idealization
-To recognize the actual problem and then
formulate the idealized problem (modelling), so
that the structural engineer can perform a
practical force analysis of the members
-Generally, actual structure in 3-D can be
idealized to 2-D.
Idealized Structure
e.g. consider the jib crane & trolley
For analysis, we neglect the thickness of the 2 main
member & will assume that the joint at B is fabricated
to be rigid
The support at A can be modeled as a fixed support
Details of trolley can be excluded

Support Reactions
The loads applied to a structure must be resist by
support reactions.
The number of reactions depend on the support
conditions.

Degree of static
Indeterminacy (d)
Classification of
structure
d is negative (-ve)
statically unstable
d is zero (0)
statically determinate
d is positive (+ve)
statically indeterminate
Examples of beam:
a)
d = 2 3 = -1
statically unstable
b)
d=33=0
statically determinate
c)
d=43=1
statically indeterminate to 1
degree
Examples
Frame
B
d=53
=2
Statically indeterminate to 2
degree.
Truss
A
d = 6 + 4 2(4)
=2
Statically indeterminate to 2
degree.
Stability
It is not only necessary to satisfy the equations of
equilibrium, but the members must also be properly held
or constrained by their supports
2 constraints situations make a structure unstable:i) Partial Constraints
ii) Improper Constraints
i) Partial constraints
Fewer reactive forces than eqns of
equilibrium

Boundary Conditions
(i) Pin support
Vertical displacement = 0
DOF = 1 (rotation)
Vertical displacement = 0
Horizontal displacement = 0
Rotation = 0

d = m + r -2j
m = 11, r = 3, j = 6
A
d = 11 + 3 2(6)
=2
d = m + r -2j
m = 6, r = 3, j = 4
d = 6 + 3 2(4)
=1
Stable & statically indeterminate to 1 degree
r3=0
Thus, there is no redundant in external support.
**1 internal redundant
d = m + r -2j
m = 5, r = 4, j = 4
d = 5 + 4 2(4)
=1
d = m + r -2j
m = 6, r = 4, j = 4
d = 6 + 4 2(4)
=2
Stable & statically indeterminate to 2 degree
0 DOF at joint A
A
2 DOF at joint B
DOF = 2
If axial deformation is ignored, joint B has
only rotation
Thus, DOF = 1
C
Joint A, B, C, D, E each has 2 DOF
D
G
E
DOF = 11
C
Joint A, B, C each has 3 DOF
Joint D, E, F has zero, 0 DOF
DOF = 9
