Principle of superposition
By inspection, the beam is statically indeterminate to the
first degree. The redundant will be taken as By. We
assume By acts upward on the beam.

Example 10.4
Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam. EI is
constant. Neglect the effects of axial load.
Solution
Principle of Superposition
Since axial load is neglected,
the beam is indeterminate to the
second degree. The 2 end
moments at A & B will be
considered as the redundant.
The beams capacity to resist
these moments is removed by
placing a pin at A and a rocker at B.

Composite Structures
Composite structures are composed of some
members subjected only to axial force while
other members are subjected to bending
If the structure is statically indeterminate,
the force method can conveniently be used
for its analysis
Example 10.10
The beam is supported by a pin at A & two pin-connected
bars at B. Determine the force in member BD. Take E =
200GPa & I = 300(106)mm4 for the beam and A =
1800mm2 for each bar.
Solution
Principle of superposition
The beam is indeterminate to the first degree. Force in
member BD is chosen as the redundant. This member is
therefore sectioned to eliminate its capacity to sustain a
force.
Solution
Compatibility eqn
With reference to the relative disp of the cut ends of
member BD, we require
0 BD FBD f BDBD

Solution
Compatibility eqn
For BD we require application of the real loads and a
virtual unit load applied to the cut ends of the member
BD. We will consider only bending strain energy in the

Symmetric Structures
A structural analysis of any highly
indeterminate structure or statically
determinate structure can be simplified
provided the designer can recognise those
structures that are symmetric & support
either symmetric or antisymmetric loadings
For horizontal stability, a pin is required to
support the beam & truss.
Symmetric Structures
Here the horizontal reaction at the pin is zero,
so both these structures will deflect & produce
the same internal loading as their reflected
counterpart
As a result, they can
be classified as being symmetric
Not the case if the fixed support
at A was replaced by a pin since
the deflected shape & internal
loadings would not be the same
on its left & right side

Symmetric Structures
A symmetric structure supports an
antisymmetric loading as shown
Provided the structure is
symmetric & its loading is
either symmetric or
antisymmetric then a
structural analysis will only
have to be performed on half the members
of the structure since the same or opposite
results will be produced on the other half

Symmetric Structures
A separate structural
analysis can be performed
using the symmetrical

components & the results

Example 10.11
Draw the influence line for the vertical reaction at A for
the beam. EI is constant. Plot numerical values every 2m
Solution
The capacity of the beam to resist reaction Ay is removed.
This is done using a vertical roller device. Applying a
vertical unit load at A yields the shape of the influence
line. Using the conjugate beam method to determine
ordinates of the influence line.

For B' , since no moment exists on the conjugate beam at B'

Solution
Since a vertical 1kN load acting at A on the beam will
cause a vertical reaction at A of 1kN, the disp at A, A
should correspond to a numerical value of 1 for the
influence line ordinate at A.
