STRUCTVILLE RESEARCH

1.0 Introduction
Industrialization is one of the major keys to development and sustainable economy. Industrial structures are usually very
easy to identify because of their unique  features that are quite different from residential or commercial buildings.
Engineers are often tasked with analysing and designing industrial frames, and to simplify the analysis for manual
calculations, they are usually idealised as 2D plane frames.

2.0 Solved Example Welcome to the unique page of Structville

In this post, a gable industrial frame structure is subjected to a load regime as shown below. The frame is hinged at point D,
drawings, textbooks, and even upload you
and it is desired to obtain the internal forces (bending moment, axial forces, and shear forces) due to the externally applied
load.
STRUCTVILLE DESIGN MANUAL

N/B: In practical construction, it not very advisable to hinge the structure at the crown due to the problem of excessive
deflection.
