Chapter 3 - Analysis of Statically Determinate Trusses

Objectives Classify a truss as simple, compound (type 1, 2 or 3) or complex. Judge whether a truss is statically determinate/indeterminate. Judge whether a truss is stable/unstable. Calculate a truss's support reactions. Visually identify any special joints in a truss. Judge the most efficient method to determine the force in a truss member. method of joints method of sections combination of methods Calculate the force in a truss member using the method of joints. Calculate the force in a truss member using the method of sections.
