Indeterminate Structures
The indeterminate structure rig (Figure 1) consists of three pin-jointed members made of the
same type of steel. The top member is at 45 to the vertical. The middle member is horizontal
and the bottom member is at an angle of 60 to the vertical; the bottom member is 1m long
between pins. The outside diameter of the steel tubes is 25.4mm and the wall thickness is 1.2
mm. Young's Modulus of the steel tubes of the rig is 210GPa.
