Question: Problem 3 : Consider the structure shown below ( an Inverted King Truss ) consisting of Beam AC , Strut BD , Rod ADC, Pin

Problem 3: Consider the structure shown below (an Inverted King
Truss) consisting of Beam AC, Strut BD, Rod ADC, Pin support A,
Roller support C, and Applied load P.a. Show that this structure is Statically Indeterminant (i.e. the
equilibrium equations alone are not sufficient to determine the loads
carried by the beam, strut, rod, pins, and rollers)
b. Determine the loads in Beam AC, Strut BD, Rod ADC using
Castiglianos Theorem of Least Work. Assume strut BD to be the
Redundant Member. The truss has the following geometry, properties,
and loading
Beam AC
160-mm-deep by 60-mm-wide rectangle
EAC =200 GPa (steel)
GAC =79.3 GPa (steel)
IAC =1
12 b h3=20.48\times 10-6m4
AAC = b h =9.6\times 10-3
Rod ADC
15-mm diameter
EADC =200 GPa (steel)
AADC =\pi
4 d2=176.7\times 10-6m2
Strut BD
40 mm by 40 mm
EBD =12.4 GPa (oak)
ABD =1.6\times 10-3m2
Problem 3 : Consider the structure shown below (
