INTRODUCTION
Statics is the study of forces which is the branch of mechanics that deals with forces in
the absence of changes in motion or more formally that deals with the effects that forces have
on the motion of objects. Static refers to any system in which the sum of the forces and
torques on each particle is zero. The physical state in a system's components is at rest, the net
force through the system is zero or relative motion is zero. Static forces are also in balance or
equilibrium. In this project, civil engineering is concerned with the construction, design and
structures such as building, bridge, dams, railway or offshore structures. These projects
In engineering, the free body diagram (FBD) is also known as a force diagram which
is a representation used to visualize the applied forces and moments on a body in a specific
condition. This diagram is used to determine the loading of particular structural components
as well as to calculate internal forces within a structure. It also used to illustrate the relative
magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. This project
analyzes forces that exist and determine the direction in which each force is acting. There is a
structural load which is a force that is applied to structural elements and estimating the total
The forces and moments exerted on a rigid body by its supports are called reactions.
These forces and moments are reacting to external loads that are applied to the rigid body. In
general, if a support prevents translation in a given direction, then the support exerts a force
in that direction.

A centroid is the geometric center of a geometric object: a one-dimensional curve, a two-
dimensional area or a three-dimensional volume. Centroids are useful for many situations in
Statics and subsequent courses, including the analysis of distributed forces, beam bending,
resisting angular acceleration which is the sum of the product of the mass of every particle
Engineers are responsible for almost all of the building, bridge, and airport construction you
see around you. In building a country's infrastructure, they are crucial. Big responsibilities,
however, go along with great duties. The majority of civil engineers have a demanding
schedule to follow and put in long hours. But in addition to their rigorous schedule, civil
engineers often encounter other challenges specific to their line of work. When one of these
structures collapses, it results in severe financial loss as well as human loss and injury. The
engineers must consider the problems, options, and possibilities in the industry for the
demands of the present. Therefore, to assure the strength of the buildings and the safety of the
construction, a civil engineer must understand the calculation of support response, centroid,
and moment of inertia. In addition, the estimates could reduce unnecessary expenses in the

1.3 OBJECTIVES
1. The objective of this experiment is to identify and analyze the static equilibrium
conditions for a scenario in which some of the forces may be at an angle to the rigid
2. The purpose of this experiment is to estimate the moment of inertia acting on a rigid
3. The aim of this experiment is to construct a free body diagram for a structural element
in static equilibrium
Our scope of study focuses on the types of civil engineering that can be chosen to draw
the free body diagram and estimate the actions/loadings on the structure. From this study, we
can calculate the support reactions, centroid and the moment of inertia of the structure.
The case study was completed in early January of 2023. The case study focused on
finding structural elements that are suitable for the principle of equilibrium in static and
dynamic. A roof, beam, bridge, fence and a cantilever beam has been chosen. All of the
structural features taken at different places. To gather systematic information, the case study
approaches a combination of studies with the topics ,issues, and questions of other sources of
information. The case study was created to identify a specific structure in finding the
centroids and moment of inertia.The structural details analysis of its measurement are
required to identify the support reaction and calculate the centroids and moment of inertia of
each structure. A free body diagram was also included. A case study was conducted in order
to identify and analyze the static equilibrium conditions for a different scenario.The studies

3.2 Roof
This chapter explains about the truss roof structure functions, components and
calculations.
The roof is the highest component of the building envelope, which covers the
structure or house's top floor. It rested on the building's walls for support. It offers protection
from extremes of temperature, wind, rain, snow, and sunlight. It shields against weather
foundation safeguards a building against destruction starting at the bottom, a good roof
provides protection for a building's contents and itself and stops degradation from the top.
The roof's design and construction should adhere to the following functional specifications in
order to effectively carry out its primary duty. Incomparably, roofing raises a home's worth.
A roof is considerably more than just a building's ornamental top. The roof framework must
be sufficiently solid and robust to support the roof covering. Additionally, a roof needs to be
A truss, a structural structure created to support and reinforce a roof, is crucial as the
roof's frame. Essentially, they are triangular wooden constructions created to preserve the
integrity of a roof. Trusses provide a lot of advantages over rafters, including maximizing
8
strength for supporting external loads and reducing total project costs. A truss is put under
compression and tension, although it is not meant to bend. Additionally, it can support and
carry weights that are vertical, horizontal, and inclined. A truss can only carry loads along the
axis of each individual component, or member, because the loads are mostly applied to the
joints. Commercial and residential structures will benefit structurally from its durability and
wide range of advantages. Every building may have a slightly different roof, but each of it
The actual structure of the roof selected is located at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn

3.3.1 Conclusion
13
Based on the study that has been conducted,the structure is concluded as strong and
stable. The material used to build the structure is timber which is very common and widely
used in building design. Support reaction, centroid and moment of inertia has been calculated
and the values are logical and reasonable of the structure. The material, size, strength and
durability of the structure is taken to make sure the structures made are strong, safe and long
lasting.
3.3 Beam
perpendicular to their longitudinal direction such as walls,columns and foundation Its primary
mode of deflection is bending. All of the forces operating on the beam produce shear forces
and bending moments within the beam, which cause internal stresses, strains, and beam
deflection. Loads applied to the beam cause reaction forces at its support points..That beam is
connected to the column, which is known as direct support, while the beam is connected to
Beams sustain the weight of a building’s floors, ceilings, and roofs and transfer the
load to a vertical load bearing element of the structure. Transmit beams, which are larger and
heavier, are sometimes used to support the cumulative weight of stacked walls or other beams
A fixed beam is a beam that is fixed at both ends. Fixed beams are not allowed to turn
vertically or rotate. No bending moment will be produced in this beam. Fixed beams are only
subject to shear force and are commonly employed in trusses and other structures. A fixed

3.4 Gate
This chapter explains about the gate structure functions, types of gate, components and
calculations.
The gate is an important component in a building, covering the structure or the front of
the house. It is located at the base of the floor. It offers protection from various threats. The
strong structure of the gate is able to withstand various temperatures and conditions such as
wind, rain and heat. A good gate is just as important as a secure foundation. The design and
construction of gates must comply with the following functional specifications to effectively
perform their primary duties. Incomparably, a gate can increase the protection value of a
Gates mainly act as security, they ensure that no thieves or criminals commit crimes
inside the house. The height of the gate makes it difficult for outsiders to jump over it, thus
protecting it from unwanted outsiders. Knotwood in Albury is one of the most popular
materials for gate.The gate also acts as a sign of safety. It is a clear boundary so that external
threats are avoided and small children cannot run away. Behind the gate is the outside world
filled with good and bad people. The fence provides security to the parties involved so that

the gate an attraction for the house and building, the fence can increase its architectural value.
Knotwood in Albury is one of the materials that provide beautifully designed gates. It allows
the installation of aluminum gates that look like they are made of wood, which gives the
gatees in Wodonga a very royal look. Many innovative ideas can be brought to life with a
The gate is not only a zone of safety and security of the house, but it is also a statement.
They act as a style statement when someone has poured millions into creating and building
the perfect home, their fences need to match the standard of the home.

3.4.7 Conclusion
The calculation of the moment of inertia from the x-axis and y-axis that has been done is
appropriate to show that the gate has its own load with the support reaction. The most
25
important thing before building a gate is to have a load weight such as dead load which refers
to the weight of the gate itself. The fence also has its own support reaction like a wheel.
Furthermore, the type of material such as steel plays an important role in acting on the gate
because it can warp and rot with weather conditions without using the appropriate material.
Finally, the construction of the gate must be taken seriously from different points of view of
calculation, design, and materials.
3.5 Bridge
This chapter explains about the bridge structure functions, types of bridge,
components and calculations.
26
3.5.1 Introduction of bridges
A bridge is a structure that is built to span a physical obstacle such as road without
blocking the path underneath that is constructed to provide passage over the obstacle that is
difficult to cross. Bridges are considered transportation infrastructure since they directly
connect between two destinations which are commonly used to cross rivers, valleys, lakes
and roads. Building bridges whose function is to carry vertical loads, must take the analysis
and structural design into all the loads that the bridge must support during its life period. The
support must be strong enough to hold structure up and the span between supports must be
strong to carry the loads. Therefore, as a result, bridge design must be efficient, economical
in order to reduce the costs of construction and maintenance while retaining efficiency and
elegance which puts value on the personal expression of the designer’s without
compromising performance or economics as much as is safely possible.
A bridge typically includes a deck and supports that keep the bridge up by forces exerted
on a supports that are called as reactions and the loads are the forces that act on the bridge
exerted by the weight of the object plus the bridge itself. The arc bridge is one of the most
natural bridges and also the greatest example of dissipation. In an arc bridge, everything is
under compression that actually holds the bridge up and dissipates all the way to the end of
the bridge where all the force gets transferred to the ground. Furthermore, arcs have their own
unique shape which they do not break instead of flex or bend under pressure and it also
distributes the load instead of just pushing it straight down that has supports on the ground at
both ends.
27
The actual structure of the bridge selected is located at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn
Malaysia (UTHM), Parit Raja, 86400 Batu Pahat, Johor. Figure 5 shows the actual structure
of the bridge at Persisiran Tun Ghafar Baba, Kolej Kediaman Tun Dr Ismail, UTHM.

∑ MA= By (5) - 98.1(2.5) = 0 Ax = Bx = 0
By(5) = 245.25
By = 49.05kN
Ay + 49.05 = 98.1
Ay = 49.05kN

31
ii) Moment of inertia about y axis,
∑A = 13
=25.58 m⁴
3.5.7 Conclusion
The calculation of the moment of inertia from x-axis and y-axis that has been done is
wise and suitable, which shows that the bridges have their own load with support reaction.
The most important thing before building a bridge is to have the weight of load such as dead
load which refers to the weight of the bridge itself. Furthermore, the type of materials such as
truss or steel have an important role to act on bridges since they could simply collapse
without good materials. Lastly, for the building the bridges must have been taken seriously
from different views from calculation, design, and the materials.

The structure or building is a double-storey terrace corner house located at Taman Sri
Lambak , Kluang . It can be deduced from the calculations for the free body diagrams,
supporting reactions, centroid , and moments of inertia that the following structures support
all loads and reactions that may be expected in the future.
36
CHAPTER 4
DISCUSSION
This project has to identify and analyze the static equilibrium conditions for a
scenario in which some of the forces may be at an angle to the rigid body. The purpose of this
project is to be able to construct the free body diagrams, estimate the moment of inertia
acting on a rigid body of building and to determine the conditions necessary for equilibrium
to occur. There were some structures of the building that have been used from this project
which are roof, beam and column, fence, bridge and cantilever slab.
Static equilibrium for structure in building is very important for engineers to design
them in good condition. This is because all the structures must remain balanced in which all
of the forces that act on the structure must have resultant force is zero to prevent the structure
from moving and could stand strongly. The calculation of centroid and moment of inertia in
this project is also important for having a structure that has great stability in many situations.
37
CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
From this project, we can conclude that each structure has a role in construction that is
visible in daily life. We identified the structure such as roof, beam, fence, bridge and
cantilever slab .We succeeded in drawing the free body diagram of the structure. We
calculate centroid and moment inertia of the structure that has been chosen. This project
shows us that static and dynamic play a major role in the structure of civil engineering to
ensure that the structural members meet the safety and serviceability demands of the regional
building code and the location in which the structure is situated. Based on the calculation, we
realized that calculation is very important to determine the bending stress value. If the
engineers don't have enough understanding about the relationship between the centroid and
the moment of inertia, the building will suffer severe damage, endangering the lives and
property of the occupants.
