Introductory Structural Analysis Problems Nielsen

1



Introduction:


This book is intended as a study aid for students studying
Introductory Structural Analysis.

The Author has strived to present problems that would be
found in a typical engineering class, in a hand drawn style that
will be familiar to any student who has put pencil to
engineering paper.





If any errors or omissions are discovered, please report them
to NieKo Technical Publishing for correction in future
editions.

Equations of Equilibrium
Statically Determinate Structures


Beams
Frames
Trusses



Since the problems shown deal with 2 dimensional structures, the
following equations of equilibrium are used throughout this book.

Sum of the forces in the X direction are zero.

F
x =
0


Sum of the forces in the Y direction are zero.

F
y =
0


Sum of the moments about the Z axis are zero.

M
=
0
