Analysis of Frames

This document discusses frames that contain three-force members and how to analyze them using the method of members. It defines three-force members as pin-connected structural members that can be separated from the structure and analyzed using three equilibrium equations. It provides examples of axial vs non-axial members and presents six problems analyzing frames with three-force members to determine reactions, internal forces, and tensions.

FRAMES CONTAINING

THREE-FORCE MEMBERS
ENGR. KRISTINE G. FORCADILLA
FRAMES

• Frames are pin-connected structures with some or all members are


three-force members.
• To analyze a frame, we can disconnect the three-force member
from the structure and draw the free-body diagram of the
member. This approach is called the method of members.
FRAMES

In this method, three equilibrium equations can be written


FRAMES

Below is a figure that shows the difference between axial and non-
axial (three-force) members.
PROBLEM 1:

The structure shown in the figure


is pinned together at points A, B,
and C and held in equilibrium by
the cable CD. A load of 12,000 lb
is acting at the midpoint of
member AB, and a load of 8000
lb is applied at point C.
Determine the reaction at A, the
internal force in member BC, and
the tension on cable CD.
PROBLEM 2:

Members AB and BC shown in the figure


are pinned together at point B, and are
pinned to the floor at points A and C.
The structure supports a pulley at point
B with which, a person is hoisting a 2.0
kN load. Member BC has a weight of 1.6
kN, which may be considered to act at
its center, while AB is made of strong-
light material and has negligible weight.
Determine the value of the external
support reactions at A and C.
PROBLEM 3:

For the structure shown in the


figure below, determine the
reactions at A and D and the
internal force in member CF.
PROBLEM 4:

For the structure shown in the


figure, members AD, DC, and ABC
are assumed to be solid rigid
members; member ED is a cable.
For this structure, determine the
reaction at A, the tension on
cable ED, and the force in
member DC.
PROBLEM 5:

For the cabled structure in the figure,


member ABC which is assumed to be
rigid is pinned at A and held in
equilibrium by cable CD. For this
structure, determine the reaction at
A and the tension in the cable.
PROBLEM 6:

In the structure shown in the figure,


all members are assumed to be solid
rigid members. The system is pinned
to the wall at point A and supported
by a roller at point E. Calculate the
force on member BD and the
reactions at A and E.
