Like many other engineers, I have uti- lized Dr. Williams ’ numerous publications through the years and have found them to be extremely useful. This publication is no exception, given the extensive experience and expertise of Dr. Williams in this area, the credibil- ity of Elsevier with expertise in technical publications internationally, and the International Code Council (ICC) with expertise in structural engineering and building code publications. Engineers at all levels of their careers will find the determinate and indeter- minate analysis methods in the book presented in a clear, concise, and practical manner. I am a strong advocate of all of these attributes, and I am certain that the book will be successful because of them. Coverage of many other impor- tant areas of structural analysis, such as Plastic Design, Matrix and Computer Methods, Elastic-Plastic Analysis, and the numerous worked-out sample prob- lems and the answers to the supplementary problems greatly enhance and rein- force the overall learning experience. One may ask why, in this age of high-powered computer programs, a com- prehensive book on structural analysis is needed. The software does all of the work for us, so isn't it sufficient to read the user’s guide to the software or to have a cursory understanding of structural analysis? While there is no question that computer programs are invaluable tools that help us solve complicated problems more efficiently, it is also true that the soft- ware is only as good as the user’s level of experience and his/her knowledge of the software. A small error in the input or a misunderstanding of the limita- tions of the software can result in completely meaningless output, which can lead to an unsafe design with potentially unacceptable consequences. That is why this book is so valuable. It teaches the fundamentals of struc- tural analysis, which I believe are becoming lost in structural engineering. Having a solid foundation in the fundamentals of analysis enables engineers to understand the behavior of structures and to recognize when output from a computer program does not make sense. Simply put, students will become better students and engineers will become better engineers as a result of this book. It will not only give you a better understanding of structural analysis; it will make you more proficient and efficient in your day-to-day work. David A. Fanella, Ph.D., S.E., P.E.

To ensure equilibrium, the forces acting on a structure must bal- ance, and there must be no net torque acting on the structure. The principles of statics provide the means to analyze and determine the internal and external forces acting on a structure. For planar structures, three equations of equilibrium are available for the determination of external and internal forces. A statically determinate struc- ture is one in which all the unknown member forces and external reactions may be determined by applying the equations of equilibrium. An indeterminate or redundant structure is one that possesses more unknown member forces or reactions than the available equations of equilib- rium. These additional forces or reactions are termed redundants. To determine the redundants, additional equations must be obtained from conditions of geo- metrical compatibility. The redundants may be removed from the structure, and a stable, determinate structure remains, which is known as the cut-back structure. External redundants are redundants that exist among the external reactions. Internal redundants are redundants that exist among the member forces. 4 Structural Analysis: In Theory and Practice 1.2 Representation of forces A force is an action that tends to maintain or change the position of a struc- ture. The forces acting on a structure are the applied loads, consisting of both dead and imposed loads, and support reactions. As shown in Figure 1.1 , the simply supported beam is loaded with an imposed load WLL located at point 3 and with its own weight wDL, which is uniformly distributed over the length of the beam. The support reactions consist of the two vertical forces located at the ends of the beam. The lines of action of all forces on the beam are parallel. WLL wDL 12 3 Figure 1.1 In general, a force may be represented by a vector quantity having a magni- tude, location, sense, and direction corresponding to the force. A vector repre- sents a force to scale, such as a line segment with the same line of action as the force and with an arrowhead to indicate direction. The point of application of a force along its line of action does not affect the equilibrium of a structure. However, as shown in the three-hinged portal frame in Figure 1.2 , changing the point of application may alter the internal forces in the individual members of the structure. 100 kips 100 kips 75 kips 25 kips 25 kips 75 kips 50 kips 50 kips 50 kips 50 kips (i) (ii) Figure 1.2 Collinear forces are forces acting along the same line of action.

Space structures are three- dimensional structures and, as shown in Figure 1.4 , may be acted on by non- coplanar forces. Figure 1.4 In a concurrent force system, the line of action of all forces has a common point of intersection. As shown in Figure 1.5 for equilibrium of the two-hinged arch, the two reactions and the applied load are concurrent. Figure 1.5 6 Structural Analysis: In Theory and Practice It is often convenient to resolve a force into two concurrent components. The original force then represents the resultant of the two components. The direc- tions adopted for the resolved forces are typically the x- and y-components in a rectangular coordinate system. As shown in Figure 1.6 , the applied force F on the arch is resolved into the two rectangular components: sHFϭ co θ ϭ θ VFsin F V θ H Figure 1.6 The moment acting at a given point in a structure is given by the product of the applied force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from the given point. As shown in Figure 1.7 , the force F at the free end of the cantilever produces a bending moment, which increases linearly along the length of the cantilever, reaching a maximum value at the fixed end of: ϭ MFl The force system shown at (i) may also be replaced by either of the force systems shown at (ii) and (iii). The support reactions are omitted from the fig- ures for clarity. l FFF F Forces ϭϭ 11222 1 F M Fl Moment Fl Fl Fl (i) (ii) (iii) Figure 1.7 Principles of statics 7 1.3 Conditions of equilibrium In order to apply the principles of statics to a structural system, the structure must be at rest. This is achieved when the sum of the applied loads and sup- port reactions is zero and there is no resultant couple at any point in the struc- ture. For this situation, all component parts of the structural system are also in equilibrium. A structure is in equilibrium with a system of applied loads when the result- ant force in any direction and the resultant moment about any point are zero. For a system of coplanar forces this may be expressed by the three equations of static equilibrium: ∑ H ϭ 0 ∑V ϭ 0 ∑ ϭ M 0 where H and V are the resolved components in the horizontal and vertical directions of a force and M is the moment of a force about any point.

  • Collapse of the Brazos River Bridge, Brazos, Texas, During Erection of the 973-Ft, Continuous Steel Plate Girders That Support the Roadway
    Collapse of the Brazos River Bridge, Brazos, Texas, during erection of the 973-ft, continuous steel plate girders that support the roadway. The failure was initiated by overstress of the connections between the web and flange during erection. Structures are particularly vulnerable to failure during erection because stiffening elements—for example, floor slabs and bracing—may not be in place. In addition, the structure’s strength may be reduced when certain connections are partially bolted or not fully welded to permit pre- cise alignment of members. CHAPTER 9 Deflections of Beams and Frames 9.1 Introduction When a structure is loaded, its stressed elements deform. In a truss, bars in tension elongate and bars in compression shorten. Beams bend and cables stretch. As these deformations occur, the structure changes shape and points on the structure displace. Although these deflections are nor- mally small, as part of the total design, the engineer must verify that these deflections are within the limits specified by the governing design code to ensure that the structure is serviceable. For example, large deflections of beams can lead to cracking of nonstructural elements such as plaster ceil- ings, tile walls, or brittle pipes. The lateral displacement of buildings pro- duced by wind forces must be limited to prevent cracking of walls and windows. Since the magnitude of deflections is also a measure of a mem- ber’s stiffness, limiting deflections also ensures that excessive vibrations of building floors and bridge decks are not created by moving loads. Deflection computations are also an integral part of a number of ana- lytical procedures for analyzing indeterminate structures, computing buck- ling loads, and determining the natural periods of vibrating members.

  • Use of Mathcad in Computing Beam Deflection by Conjugate Beam Method
    Session 2649 Use of Mathcad in Computing Beam Deflection by Conjugate Beam Method Nirmal K. Das Georgia Southern University Abstract The four-year, ABET-accredited Civil Engineering Technology curriculum at Georgia Southern University includes a required, junior-level course in Structural Analysis. One of the topics covered is the conjugate beam method for computing slope and deflection at various points in a beam. The conjugate beam method is a geometric method and it relies only on the principles of statics. The usefulness of this method lies in its simplicity. The students can utilize their already acquired knowledge of shearing force and bending moment to determine a beam’s slope and deflection. An approach to teaching this important method of structural analysis that complements the traditional lecturing through inclusion of a powerful, versatile and user-friendly computational tool, is discussed in this paper. Students will learn how to utilize Mathcad to perform a variety of calculations in a sequence and to verify the accuracy of their manual solutions. A Mathcad program is developed for this purpose and examples to illustrate the computer program are also included in this paper. The integration of Mathcad will enhance students’ problem-solving skills, as it will allow them to focus on analysis while the software performs routine calculations. Thus it will promote learning by discovery, instead of leaving the student in the role of a passive observer. Introduction With the objective of enhanced student learning, adoption of various instructional technology and inclusion of computer-aided problem-solving modules into the curriculum has been a trend for civil engineering and civil engineering technology programs.

(Civil Engineering), University of Manitoba, 19^6 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in the Department of CIVIL ENGINEERING We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 19^8 ABSTRACT An influence line method for the analysis of f lexibl hingeless arch by the deflection theory is presented in this thesis. To facilitate the work, tables of dimensionless magni fication factors are provided. Prom these tables, influence lines taking into account the flexibility of the arch may be readily drawn and used very much in the ordinary way. The flexibility of the arch was conveniently measured by a dimen- n | TTTf' \ sionless ratio, p ~ /-—• , and called the stiffness factor of i EI the arch. The tables are for parabolic hingeless arches havin rise ratios of ~, fk ~, with constant EI or a prescribed o 6 4 3 variable EI. Values are given for fi = 3 and 5 with some for fe> = 7« Also the tables contain magnification factors for maximum moments at eleven points in the arch, when the arch Is loaded with a uniform load. Although the given tables are good only for parabolic hingeless arches with constant EI or a prescribed variation in EI, the tables may be reasonably extended to other hingeless arches whose shapes are not too different from a parabola and to a wide vsLriety of variation in moment of inertia, provided these variations are not unrealist ic.

  • Deflection of a Beam in Neutral Equilibrium À La Conjugate Beam Method: Use of Support, Not Boundary, Conditions
    AC 2008-2796: DEFLECTION OF A BEAM IN NEUTRAL EQUILIBRIUM À LA CONJUGATE BEAM METHOD: USE OF SUPPORT, NOT BOUNDARY, CONDITIONS Ing-Chang Jong, University of Arkansas Ing-Chang Jong serves as Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Arkansas. He received a BSCE in 1961 from the National Taiwan University, an MSCE in 1963 from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, and a Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in 1965 from Northwestern University. He was Chair of the Mechanics Division, ASEE, in 1996-97. His research interests are in mechanics and engineering education. Page 13.353.1 Page © American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Deflection of a Beam in Neutral Equilibrium à la Conjugate Beam Method: Use of Support, Not Boundary, Conditions Abstract Beams with flexural rigidity will deflect under loading. Is it possible to ascertain the deflection of a loaded beam in neutral equilibrium? The answer is yes according to the conjugate beam me- thod, but a resounding no according to all other established methods. The objective of this paper is to share with fellow engineering educators the insights, highlights, and several illustrative ex- amples for teaching the conjugate beam method. In particular, it is pointed out that (a) support conditions (or types), rather than boundary conditions, are what the conjugate beam method needs in finding solutions for deflections of loaded beams, (b) more support conditions than boundary conditions are usually known for beams in neutral equilibrium, and (c) the conjugate beam method often works better than other established methods in determining deflections of beams.
