In this video we'll take a detailed look at trusses. Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints which can be approximated to pinned connections. It is typically assumed ...

The truss shown above is DETERMINATE. Member loads depend on only equilibrium relations. Material properties, cross-sectional areas and member lengths do not factor in on the member loads. It is easy ...

A set of equilibrium equations will come from the FBD of each joint in the truss. From these equilibrium equations can be solved the four member loads. And, from the member loads the axial stress in ...

This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...
