    This document discusses different types of structural supports and connections. It defines roller, pin, and fixed connections, explaining that roller supports allow rotation and displacement at the support point, pin connections allow shear and axial forces but not moments, and fixed connections allow transfer of all forces. It also introduces spring connections which have some flexibility. The document emphasizes idealizing structural connections and supports to simplify analysis, and defines centroid and center of gravity as important for geometric properties.

    Lecture No. 02
    TYPE OF SUPPORT- IDEALIZATION OF STRUCTURE

    STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS
    Support and Connections
    • Type of Support and Connections:
    • Structural members are joined together in various ways depending on the
    intent of the designer.

    Connections:

     Pin (Hinged) Connections


     Roller Support
     Fixed (Rigid) Joint
     Spring Support

    Support and Connections

    Roller Connections
    This support carries only
    shear forces between
    jointed members.

    The roller support allows


    rotation and one
    displacement of the
    support point

    Support and Connections

    Pin (Hinge) Connections


     This connection carries
    shear and axial forces
    but not moment
    between different
    members.

    Support and Connections

    Fixed Connections
    This connection carries
    moment, shear and axial
    forces between different
    members

    .

    Spring Connections
    These supports are like the previous but with the difference that they are not ideally
    rigid but with some real stiffness. The spring has a stiffness constant c equals to the
    force caused by displacement d = 1.

    Geometric Properties
    A of an Area
    • 1-Centroid of an Area
    The centroid of an area refers to the point that defines the geometric
    center for the area

    STRUCTURAL SYSTEMS 15
    • Summary:
    • Define the basic type of support and connections (Roller, Pinned, Fixed)

    • Understanding how the connection prevents any degree of freedom or displacement


    of the member.

    • A pin-connected joint and a roller support allow some freedom for slight rotation,
    whereas a fixed joint allows no relative rotation between the connected members

    • Model and analyze a structure
