Theory of Structures Indeterminate Structures: Method of Consistent Deformation

Analysis of Indeterminate Trusses


Procedure for Analysis
1. Determine the degree of indeterminacy.
2. The redundant is the support reactions and/or the forces in bars.
No. of Redundant forces = Degree of Indeterminacy
3. Follow similar steps that used for beams and frames but use the following compatibility equations.
if there is two redundant:
∆10 + 𝛿11 𝑥1 + 𝛿12 𝑥2 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
∆20 + 𝛿21 𝑥1 + 𝛿22 𝑥2 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
Where:

∆10 = ∑ + ∑ 𝑢1 𝛼𝐿∆𝑡 + ∑ 𝑢1 ∆𝐿𝑓𝑎𝑏. , ∆20 = ∑ + ∑ 𝑢2 𝛼𝐿∆𝑡 + ∑ 𝑢2 ∆𝐿𝑓𝑎𝑏.

The truss is indeterminate to the first degree


So, there is one redundant.
It can be solved by removing the reaction at C.
