What Structural Analysis is??

Structural analysis is the evaluation / prediction of

the performance of a given structure under
prescribed loads and/or other external effects, such
as support movements or settlements and
temperature changes.

Equations of Equilibrium
For Equilibrium, equations of equilibrium should
be satisfied.
Equilibrium condition for 2D analysis
• Σ Fx = 0 : Σ Fy = 0 and Σ Mz = 0

Equilibrium condition for 3D analysis

• Σ Fx = 0 : Σ Fy = 0 and Σ Fz = 0
• Σ Mx = 0 : Σ My = 0 and Σ Mz = 0

Kinematic Indeterminacy
• Kinematic indeterminacy
• The rotation or displacement at a particular joint is called
Kinematic Indeterminacy.
• In propped cantilever beam, K.I is equal to 1
• In simply supported beam, K.I is equal to 2
• In Cantilever beam, K.I is equal to 2.

 Structural Analysis-Review
• Compatibility Conditions/ Equations
• These conditions require that the
displacements and rotations be
continuous throughout the structure
and compatible with the nature
support conditions.
• For. e.g In case of fixed support,
displacement and slope shall be
zero.
 Structural Analysis-Review
Principle of Superposition
• Total displacement at a point due several external loads =
Sum of the displacement caused by each of the external
loads acting separately.
