‘What is meant by indeterminate structures?
Structures that do not satis
fy the conditions of equilibrium are called indeterminate structure.
structures cannot be solved by ordinary analysis techniques,
2. What are the conditions of equilibrium?
‘The three conditions of equilibrium are the sum of horizontal forces, vertical forces and moments
at any joint should be equal to zero,
ie EH=0;EV=0;EM=0
Differentiate between determinate and indeterminate structures.
Determinate structures can be solving using conditions of equilibrium alone (H = 0; 2V
= 0). No other conditions are required.
Indeterminate structures cannot be solved using conditions of equilibrium because (ZH ¢ 0; EV #
0; 2M # 0). Additional conditions are required for solving such structures
4. Define degree of indeterminacy.
‘The excess number of reactions that make a structure indeterminate is called degree of
Indeterminacy. Indeterminacy is also called degree of redundancy.
Indeterminacy consists of intemal and extemal indeterminacies,
Itis denoted by the symbol‘
Degree of redundancy (i)= L1. + E.L
Where L1. = internal indeterminacy and E.1.~ external indeterminacy.
5. Define degree of indeterminacy.
‘The excess number of reactions that make a structure indeterminate is called degree of
Indeterminacy. Indeterminacy is also called degree of redundancy.
Indeterminacy consists of internal and extemal indeterminacies.
It is denoted by the symbol ‘i?
Degree of redundaney (i) = LI. + ELL
‘Where LI, = internal indeterminacy and E.1. = extemal indeterminacy.
6. Write the formulae for degree of indeterminacy for:
(a) Two dimensional pinjointed truss (2D Truss)
i= (mmr) - 2j where m=no of members
F=no of reactions; j= no of joints
(b) Two dimensional rigid frames/plane rigid frames (2D Frames)
(3m) ~ 3j where m=no of members
1=no of reactions; j= no of joints
(6) Three dimensional space truss (31 Truss)
i= (mr) ~ 3j where m=no of members
+ =no of reactions; j= no of joints
(4) Taree dimensional space frames (3D Frame)
1= (6m+r) ~ 6) where m=no of members
= no of reactions; j= no of jointsPasemine the total, internal and external degree of ideterminacy for the plane rigid frame

13, What are the different methods of analysis of indeterminate structures?
‘The various methods adopted for the analysis of indeterminate structures include:
Flexibility matrix method
© Stiffness matrix method
4 Finite Element method
14, Briefly mention the two types of matrix methods of analysis of indeterminate structures.
‘The two matrix methods of analysis of indeterminate structures are:
(i Flexibility matrix method:
‘This method is also called the force method in which the forces in the structure are
treated as unknowns. The no of equations involved is equal to the degree of static indeterminacy
ofthe structure.(Gi) Stiffness matrix method:
This is also called the displacement method m which the displacements that occur m the
structure are treated as unknowns. The no of displacements involved is equal to the no of degrees
15. Define a primary structure.
A structure formed by the removing the excess or redundant restraints from an mdetermimate
structure making it statically determinate is called primary structure This is required for solving
indeterminate structures by flexibility matrix method
16. Define kinematic indeterminacy (Dk) or Degree of Freedom (DOF)
Degree of freedom is defined as the least no of independent displacements required to define the
deformed shape of a structure .
There are two types of DOF: (a) Nodal type DOF and (b) Joint type DOF
17, Briefly explain the two types of DOF.
(2) Nodal type DOF ~ This includes the DOF at the point of application of concentrated load or
‘moment, at a section where moment of inertia changes, hinge support, roller support and junction
of two or more members.
(b) Joint type DOF - This includes the DOF at the point where moment of mertia changes, hinge
and roller support, and junction of two or more members
18. For the truss shown below, what is the DOF?
‘Where, r= no of reactions, j ~ no of joints
19, Define compatibility in force method of analysis.
‘Compatibility 1s defined as the continuity condition on the displacements of the structure after
extemal loads are applied to the structure
20, Define the Force Transformation Matrix.
‘The connectivity matrix which relates the internal forces ( and the external forces R 1s known as
the force transformation matrix, Writing it in a matrox form,
(Q} =H R}
Where, Q = member force matrx/vector, b = force ransformanon matrix
R= external force/load matrix/ vector
21. What are the requirements ¢o be satisfied while analyzing a structure?
The three conditions to be satisfied are:
(i) Equilibrium condition
(ii) Compatibility condition
(iii) Force displacement condition22, Define Nexibitity influence coefficient (fj)
Flexibility infuence coefficient (fi) is defined a the displacement at joint‘ due toa unit load at
