CE 329 – Structural Theory

Instruction: Solve each situation independently. Make your work organized. Kindly box your final
answers. Answers without boxes, solutions, explanations, conclusions and units will not receive any
points. Provide an illustration if necessary. NO FBD, NO POINTS FOR THE REST OF THE SITUATION. Make
your work presentable and readable. UNPRESENTABLE PROBLEM SET WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Submit your work

Situation 1: (Method of Joints/Sections) Determine the force in each member of the truss shown in
Figure 3290. Indicate if tension or compression.

Situation 2: Determine the force in members JI, IC, and CD of the truss shown in Figure 3291. State
if the members are in tension or compression. Assume all members are pin connected.

Situation 3: Determine the force in members KJ, CD, and JE of the truss shown in Figure 3292. State
if the members are in tension or compression.

Situation 4:(Cremona Method) Determine the force in each member of the truss shown in Figure 3293 and
state whether they are tension or compression.

Situation 5:(Cremona Method) Determine the force in each member of the roof truss shown in Figure
3294. State if the members are in tension or compression. Assume all members are pin connected.
