Introduction to Problems

Description of the project

These Problems were allocated to group 8 which consist of different types of loads. So we have made a generic program that can cater for 3 joints/2 members and can subjected to any kind of loading.

Loads/Moments
1)Point loads 2)Uniformly distributed loads 3)Varying distributed loads

4)Joint Moment

Manual Calculations
Manual calculations done by using stiffness method. Firstly calculated the member stiffness matrices. Calculated structure stiffness matrix. Calculated fixed end moments and end reactions. Calculated displacements and rotations using structure stiffness matrix and displacement matrix. Expression Q=K*D is used to find displacements. Member shear forces and moments calculated by using member stiffness matrices. Final reactions and moments are calculated by member shear forces and moments.

SFD and BMD are drawn at the end.

Reactions at support are calculated by FEMs released approach.
