Question: Problem 3 : Consider the structure shown below ( an Inverted King Truss ) consisting of Beam AC , Strut BD , Rod ADC, Pin
Problem : 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 Pa Show that this structure is Statically Indeterminant ie 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
mmdeep by mmwide rectangle
EAC GPa steel
GAC GPa steel
IAC
b htimes m
AAC b h times
Rod ADC
mm diameter
EADC GPa steel
AADC pi
dtimes m
Strut BD
mm by mm
EBD GPa oak
ABD times m
