er/PR E FA C EThis book is intended to provide the student with a clear and thoroughpresentation of the theory and application of structural analysis as itapplies to trusses, beams, and frames. Emphasis is placed on developingthe student’s ability to both model and analyze a structure and toprovide realistic applications encountered in professional practice.For many years now, engineers have been using computer programsbased on matrix methods to analyze structures. Although these methodsare most efficient for a structural analysis, it is the author’s opinion thatstudents taking a first course in this subject should also be well versed insome of the more important classical methods of structual analysis. Byapplying these methods it is possible to obtain a better understandingof how loads are transmitted through a structure, and how the structurewill deform under load. These skills are also important for selectinga model of the structure that provides an accurate description of itsbehaviour. Finally the classical methods can be used to check computerresults, rather than simply relying on the generated output.New to this Edition. Several important new features are includedin this edition.Rewriting of Text Material. Concepts have been clarified andfurther expanded.New Material Added Throughout. Chapters have beenexpanded with the addition of new material, including a discussionof catenary cables and further clarification for drawing moment anddeflection diagrams for beams and frames.New Problems. There are many new problems that have been addedto this edition, along with the addition of preliminary problems.Chapter Rearrangement. The chapter on approximate analysishas been placed later in the book, after the coverage of staticallyindeterminate structures.Structural Modeling. The importance of being able to model astructure for use as input for a computer analysis is discussed throughoutthe book, and more specifically in Chapter 17.ORGANIZATION AND APPROACHThe contents of each chapter are arranged into sections with specific topicscategorized by title headings. Discussions relevant to a particular theoryare succinct, yet thorough. In most cases, this is followed by a “procedure

er/6P r e fa c efor analysis” guide, which provides the student with a summary of theimportant concepts and a systematic approach for applying the theory.The example problems are solved using this outlined method in orderto clarify its numerical application. Problems are given at the end ofeach chapter, and are arranged to cover the material in sequential order.Moreover, for any topic they are arranged in approximate order ofincreasing difficulty.HALLMARK ELEMENTS Photographs. Many photographs are used throughout the book to explain how the principles of structural analysis apply to real-world situations. Problems. Most of the problems in the book depict realistic situationsencountered in practice. It is hoped that this realism will both stimulatethe student’s interest in structural analysis and develop the skill to reduceany such problem from its physical description to a model or symbolicrepresentation to which the appropriate theory can be applied. Allproblems are in SI units. The intent has been to provide problems thattest the student’s ability to apply the theory, keeping in mind that morecomplicated problems requiring tedious calculations can be relegated tocomputer analysis. Answers to Selected Problems. The answers to all but every fourthproblem, indicated by an asterisk in the text, are listed in the back ofthe book. Extra care has been taken in the presentation and solutionof the problems, and all the problem sets have been reviewed andthe solutions checked and rechecked to ensure both their clarity andnumerical accuracy. Example Problems. All the example problems are presented in a concisemanner and in a style that is easy to understand. Illustrations. Throughout the book, an increase in two-color art hasbeen added, including many photorealistic illustrations that provide athree-dimensional view for better understanding. Triple Accuracy Checking. This edition has undergone rigorousaccuracy checking and proofing of pages. Besides the author’s review ofall the pages and problems, a recheck was provided by K. Norlin of theBittner Development Group, the Competentum team, specifically PavelKolmakov and Daria Zamiusskaya, K.B. Yap, and J.H. Lee. Preliminary and Fundamental Problems. These problem sets areselectively located at the end of many chapters. They offer students simpleapplications of the concepts and, therefore, provide them with the chanceto develop their problem-solving skills before attempting to solve any ofthe standard problems that follow. You might consider these problems as

er/extended examples since they all have solutions and answers that are givenin the back of the book. Additionally, the fundamental problems offerstudents an excellent means of studying for exams, and they can be used ata later time to prepare for various engineering exams.CONTENTSThis book is divided into three parts. The first part covers the analysisfor statically determinate structures. Chapter 1 provides a discussion ofthe various types of structural forms and loads. Chapter 2 discusses thedetermination of forces at the supports and connections of staticallydeterminate beams and frames. The analysis of various types of staticallydeterminate trusses is given in Chapter 3, and shear and bending-momentfunctions and diagrams for beams and frames are presented in Chapter 4.In Chapter 5, the analysis of simple cable and arch systems is presented, andin Chapter 6 influence lines for beams, girders, and trusses are discussed.In the second part of the book, the analysis of statically indeterminatestructures is considered. Geometrical methods for calculating deflectionsare discussed in Chapter 7. Energy methods for finding deflectionsare covered in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 covers the analysis of staticallyindeterminate structures using the force method of analysis, in additionto a discussion of influence lines for beams. Then the displacementmethods consisting of the slope-deflection method in Chapter 10 andmoment distribution in Chapter 11 are discussed. Using these methods,beams and frames having nonprismatic members are considered inChapter 12. Finally, Chapter 13 discusses several common techniquesthat are used for an approximate analysis of a statically indeterminatestructure.The third part of the book treats the matrix analysis of structuresusing the stiffness method. Trusses are discussed in Chapter 14, beamsin Chapter 15, and frames in Chapter 16. Finally, Chapter 17 providessome basic ideas as to how to model a structure, and for using availablecomputer software for performing a structural analysis. A review ofmatrix algebra is given in Appendix A.RESOURCES FOR INSTRUCTORS Mastering Engineering. This online Tutorial Homework program allowsyou to integrate dynamic homework with automatic grading.

er/TYPES OFSTRUCTURESAND LOADSCHAPTER OBJECTIVES To introduce the basic types of structures. To provide a brief explanation of the various types of loads thatmust be considered for an appropriate analysis and design.1.1INTRODUCTIONIn this book we will present many of the different ways engineers modeland then determine the loadings and deflections of various types ofstructures. Important examples related to civil engineering includebuildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering,ship and aircraft frames, mechanical systems, and electrical supportingstructures are important.Throughout this book, a structure refers to any system of connectedparts used to support a load. When designing a structure to serve aspecified function for public use, the engineer must account for its safety,esthetics, and serviceability, while taking into consideration economicand environmental constraints. For any project this often requiresseveral independent studies, using different structural forms, before afinal judgment can be made as to which form is most appropriate. Thisdesign process is both creative and technical and requires a fundamentalknowledge of material properties and the laws of mechanics whichgovern material response. Once a preliminary design of a structure is19

er/201Chapter 1typesofstruCturesandLoadsproposed, the structure must then be analyzed to ensure that it has itsrequired stiffness, strength, and stability. To do this, an idealization mustbe made as to how all members are supported and connected together.Then the loadings are determined from codes and local specifications.Finally, the forces in the members and their displacements are foundusing the theory of structural analysis, which is the subject matter of thisbook.1.2CLASSIFICATION OF STRUCTURESIt is important for a structural engineer to recognize the various types ofelements composing a structure and to be able to classify structures asto their form and function. We will introduce some of these aspects nowand discuss others throughout the book.Structural Elements. Some of the more common elements fromwhich structures are composed are as follows.Tie Rods. Structural members that are subjected to a tensile forceare often referred to as tie rods or bracing struts. These members arerather slender, and are often chosen from rods, bars, angles, or channels,Fig. 1–1.rodanglebarchanneltypical cross sectionstie rodTie rods are used for cross bracing to stiffen the roof ofa building to resist wind loads.Fig. 1–1

er/1.2CLassifiCation of struCturesBeams. Beams are usually straight horizontal members used primarilyto carry vertical loads. Quite often they are classified according to theway they are supported, as indicated in Fig. 1–2. In particular, when thecross section varies the beam is referred to as a tapered or haunchedbeam. Beam cross sections may also be “built up” by adding plates totheir top and bottom.Beams are primarily designed to resist bending moment; however, ifthey are short and carry large loads, the internal shear force may becomequite large and this force may govern their design. When the materialused for a beam is a metal such as steel or aluminum, the cross sectionis most efficient when it is shaped as shown in Fig. 1–3. Here the forcesdeveloped in the top and bottom flanges of the beam form the necessarycouple used to resist the applied moment M, whereas the web is effectivein resisting the applied shear V. This cross section is commonly referredto as a wide flange, and it is normally formed as a single unit in a rollingmill in lengths up to 23 m. When the beam is required to have a very longspan, and the loads applied are rather large, the cross section may takethe form of a plate girder. This member is fabricated by using a largeplate for the web and welding or bolting plates to its ends for flanges.The girder is often transported to the field in segments, and the segmentsare designed to be spliced or joined together at points where the girdercarries a small internal moment.Concrete beams generally have rectangular cross sections, since it iseasy to construct this form directly on the job site. Because concrete israther weak in resisting tension, steel “reinforcing rods” are cast into thebeam within regions of the cross section subjected to tension. Precastconcrete beams or girders have a variety of different cross sections, andso they are fabricated at a shop or yard and then transported to the jobsite.Beams made from timber may be sawn from a solid piece of wood orlaminated. Laminated beams, often called glulam beams, are constructedfrom strips of wood, which are fastened together using high-strengthglues.1Shown are typical splice plate joints used toconnect the steel plate girders of a highwaybridge.The prestressed concrete girders are simplysupported on the piers and are used forthis highway bridge.MVwide-flange beamfixed–supported beamsimply supported beamflangewebcantilevered beamcontinuous beamFig. 1–221flangeFig. 1–3

er/22Chapter 1typesofstruCturesandLoads1Wide-flange members are often used forcolumns. Here is an example of a beamcolumn.columnbeam columnFig. 1–4Columns. Members that are generally vertical and resist axialcompressive loads are referred to as columns, Fig. 1–4. Tubes and wideflange cross sections are often used for metal columns, and circular andsquare cross sections with reinforcing rods are used for those made ofconcrete. Occasionally, columns are subjected to both an axial load and abending moment as shown in the figure. These members are referred toas beam columns.Types of Structures. A combination of structural elements isreferred to as a structural system. Each system is constructed of one ormore of four basic types of structures. Ranked in order of complexity oftheir force analysis, they are as follows.Trusses. When the span of a structure is required to be long and its depthis not an important criterion for design, a truss may be selected. Trussesconsist of slender elements, usually arranged as a series of triangularelements. Planar trusses are composed of members that lie in the sameplane and are frequently used for bridge and roof support, whereas spacetrusses have members extending in three dimensions and are suitable forderricks and towers.A truss supports its load through the tension and compression of itsmembers, and as a result a truss uses less material than a solid beam tosupport a given load, Fig. 1–5. In general it is economically feasible touse a truss to cover spans ranging from 9 m to 122 m, although trusseshave been used on occasion for spans of greater lengths.

er/1.2CLassifiCation of struCtures231An applied loading will cause bending ofthis truss, which develops compression inthe top members and tension in the bottommembers.Fig. 1–5Cables and Arches. Two other forms of structures used to span longdistances are the cable and the arch. Cables are usually flexible and carrytheir loads in tension, Fig. 1–6a. They are commonly used to supportbridges and building roofs. When used for these purposes, the cable hasan advantage over the beam and the truss, especially for spans that aregreater than 46 m. Because they are always in tension, cables will notbecome unstable and suddenly collapse or buckle, as may happen withbeams or trusses. The use of cables, on the other hand, is limited only bytheir sag, weight, and methods of anchorage.The arch achieves its strength in compression, since it has a reversecurvature to that of the cable. The arch must be rigid, however, in orderto maintain its shape. Arches are frequently used in bridge structures,Fig. 1–6b, dome roofs, and for openings in masonry walls.Cables support their loads in tension.(a)Arches support their loads in compression.(b)Fig. 1–6

plain how the principles of structural analysis apply to real-world situations. Problems. Most of the problems in the book depict realistic situations encountered in practice. It is hoped that this realism will both stimulate the student's interest in structural analysis and develop the skill to reduce
