REACTIONS DETERMINATION IN DETERMINATE STRUCTURE...PART TWO
Reactions as what support offers to restrain structure to its position, when subjected to loadings. As the degree of indeterminacy of determinate structure n= 0, this means the reactions or forces are balancing each other with no extra reaction (structure is in equilibrium). Due to balancing reactions, the reactions can easily be determined by using three equilibrium equations for the plane structure, which are the following The magnitude and direction of support reactions in determinate structure can easily determined by adhering the following procedures · Drawing free body diagram FBD · Check for determinacy · Applying equilibrium equations Example 1 Determine support reactions of the structure below Solution The first step is to draw free body diagram, this diagram show the directions (proposed) and position o...
