ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY INDETERMINATE TRUSSES BY METHOD OF CONSISTENT DEFORMATION

Statical indeterminacy may be induced by: (a) external redundant reaction components; (b) Internal redundant members; or the (c) combination of external and internal redundants.

RECALL: How do you determine the degree of indeterminacy for external redundants? For internal redundants?

ANALYSIS OF STATICALLY INDETERMINATE TRUSSES BY METHOD OF CONSISTENT DEFORMATION

METHOD OF CONSISTENT DEFORMATION: On External Redundants: The deformation on a body caused by the applied (original) loads, whilst neglecting the redundant/s, must be equal to the deformation on the same body caused by that redundant (treated as a load), assuming that there is no support settlement.
