Analysis of Statically Determinate Trusses

Support Reactions


The procedure for analyzing a statically determinate truss is described in this section. By analysis we mean finding the values of support reactions and the internal forces in some or all of the truss members. Let us consider the 9-bar truss shown below. It is a simply supported truss with a pin at joint 1 and a roller at joint 4.
