Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints which can be approximated to pinned connections. It is typically assumed that loads are applied to the joints of the truss, not ...

The Method of Joints involves applying the equilibrium equations to solve the internal forces acting on every joint within the truss. The Method of Sections involves creating an imaginary cut ...

This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...
