Consistent Deformation Method
Beam 1
For the beam shown in FIGURE 1a, determine the reactions at pin
supports A and roller supports B and C by the method of consistent
deformation. Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams for the
beam. Assume EI is constant.
Beam 1
Solution:
1. Determine the degree of redundancy of the structure
number of reactions, r = 4.
number of equations of equilibrium for a plane structure, e = 3.
number of equations of conditions, c = 0.
degree of external indeterminacy, ie = r – e – c = 4 – 1 – 0 = 1 .
Therefore the structure has one (1) redundant reaction.
