TRADISIONAL
MODERN
STRUCTURES
Can be defined as forms or shapes such as building, bridges, dams and walls and are design to
resist any applied load without losing their own strength capacities and any appreciable
deformation.
Transmit all applied loads to the support systems.
All structure is required to be strong, stable and functioning.
Can be categorized into :
Framed types
Mass types
Framed structure resist the applied loads by virtue of their geometry.
Mass structure are a type of structures which can resist the applied load by virtue of their
weight.
EXAMPLE OF STRUCTURAL
ELEMENTS
1. Stiff joint
Considered have fixity at the point of connection and rigid.
One member meeting at the joint influences another
member.
2. Pinned joint
Also known as hinged point.
Common applications: roof trusses and bridges were
constructed using pinned joint.
Allow relative movement of the member and it cannot resist
bending movement.

CONDITIONS OF DETERMINACY
2. The structural member which resists the forces laterally or transversely applied to the (beam)
axis is called a beam.
3. In it, the loads are acting transversely to the longitudinal axis, which produces the shear
forces and bending moment.
4. The lateral load acting on beams are the main cause bending of the beam.
5. They are responsible to transfer a load from the slab to the column.
BEAMS
FRAME
1. Frame structures are the structures having the combination of beam, column and slab to resist the
lateral and gravity loads.
2. These structures are usually used to overcome the large moments developing due to the applied
loading.
DETERMINACY OF BEAM / FRAME
Beam and frame are classified as determinate or indeterminate depending upon the internal
forces in the member or external support reaction.
STATICALLY DETERMINATE
When all the forces in a structure can be determined strictly from equilibrium equations.
STATICALLY INDETERMINATE
Structures having more unknown forces than available equilibrium equations are.
The additional equations needed to solve for the unknown reactions are obtained by
relating the applied loads and reactions to the displacement or slope at different points on
the structure.
These equations, which are referred to as compatibility equations, must be equal in
number to the degree of indeterminacy of the structure.

STABILITY OF BEAM / FRAME
In some cases, there may be as many unknown forces as there are equations of equilibrium; however, instability
or movement of a structure or its members can develop because of improper constraining by the supports.
This can occur if all the support reactions are concurrent at a point.
EXAMPLES
Classify each of the structures in Figs. 2–26a through 2–26d as stable or unstable. The structures
are subjected to arbitrary external loads that are assumed to be known.

TRUSSES
DETERMINACY & STABILITY
TRUSS
1. A truss is a structure composed of slender
members joined together at their end
points.
Planar Trusses
3. Because of these two assumptions, each truss member acts as an axial force
member, and therefore the forces acting at the ends of the member must be
directed along the axis of the member.
Since the truss members are all straight axial force members lying in the same plane, the
force system acting at each joint is coplanar and concurrent.
2. Also, a truss can be unstable if it is statically determinate or statically indeterminate. In this case
the stability will have to be determined either by inspection or by a force analysis to find out
externally unstable or internally unstable.
STABILITY OF TRUSS
3. Truss externally unstable if all of its reactions are concurrent or parallel.
STABILITY OF TRUSS
4. The internal stability of a truss can often be checked by careful inspection of the arrangement of
its members.
i. If it can be determined that each joint is held fixed so that it cannot move in a “rigid body”
sense with respect to the other joints, then the truss will be stable. Notice that a simple truss
will always be internally stable, since by the nature of its construction it requires starting from
a basic triangular element and adding successive “rigid elements,” each containing two
additional members and a joint. The truss below exemplifies this construction, where, starting
with the shaded triangle element ABC, the successive joints D, E, F, G, H have been added.
Unstable Stable
STABILITY OF TRUSS
ii. If a truss is constructed so that it does not hold its joints in a fixed position, it will be unstable
or have a “critical form.” An obvious example of this is shown in Fig. 3–15, where it can be seen
that no restraint or fixity is provided between joints C and F or B and E, and so the truss will
collapse under a vertical load.
Unstable Stable
EXAMPLES
Classify each of the trusses below either stable, unstable, statically determinate, or statically
indeterminate. The trusses are subjected to arbitrary external loadings that are assumed to be
known and can act anywhere on the trusses.

3. If the number of bars or members of a truss is b, and there are r reactions and j joints,
then if
• b + r = 2j the truss will be statically determinate
• b + r > 2j the truss will be statically indeterminate
CONCLUSION TRUSSES
4. The truss will be externally
unstable if the reactions are
concurrent or parallel.
6. If b + r ≥ 2j it may still be
unstable, so it becomes necessary
to inspect the truss and look for
bar arrangements that form a
parallel mechanism, without
forming a triangular element.
