5. DEFINITION OF FRAME :

A-Frame is a basic structure designed to bear a load

in a light weight economical manner.
A frame is a structural system that supports other
components of a physical construction.
Multi forced members are generally known as
Frames.
Frames are commonly used to support various
external loads.
A free body diagram
of the complete frame
is used to determine
the external forces
acting on the frame.

Internal forces are

determined by
dismembering the
frame and creating
free-body diagrams for
each component.
TRUSSES
1. A truss is a structure comprising one or more triangular units constructed with straight
members whose ends are connected at joints or nodes.
2. If all the bars lie in a plane, the structure is a planar truss.
3. The main Platform of a planar truss.

4. In other words, Trusses are designed to able structure.


 Truss Members

There are two choThe members which from the outline or perimeter of a
truss are generally called the chord members.
rd members -
1. Top Chord: Top members
2. Bottom Chord: Bottom members
 Web Members – The interior members connecting the joints of the chords
are called the web members.
There are two members-
1. Diagonal members
2. Vertical members

METHOD OF
TRUSS
ANALYSIS:
Joint MethoD:
 Determine the Support
Reaction.
 Apply Fx = 0 and Fy = 0 to
every node and determine
member force

 Dismember the truss and create

a free-body diagram for each

member and pin.

METHOD OF TRUSS ANALYSIS:
 Determine the Support Reaction.
SECTI ON METHOD:
 To determine the force in member BD, pass a section through the truss as shown and
create a free body diagram for the left side.

 With only three members cut by the section, the equations for static equilibrium may be
applied to determine the unknown member forces, including FBD.
Comparison of Trusses and Frames

TRUSSES Frames
 At least one member is subjected
 Members are subjected to
to bending, shear or torsion

 Advantages of Truss &
Frame:
Cost Effective.

Can be installed quickly even without heavy

equipment to lift it into
place

Unique properties of a triangular object

allow trusses to span across longer distances
