7 STATICALLY DETERMINATE
PLANE TRUSSES
OBJECTIVES:
This chapter starts with the definition of a truss and briefly explains various types of plane truss. The determinancy and stability of a truss also will be discussed. The procedures of analyzing statically determinate trusses will be developed using the method of joints and the method of sections. For advance, the alternative computation using joint equilibrium method will be included in this topic.
6.1 Introduction
A truss is defined as a structure composed of slender elements joined together at their end points. The members commonly used in construction consist of wooden struts, metal bars, angles or channels.
Plane or planar truss composed of members that lie in the same plane and frequently used for bridge and roof support.
Loads that cause the entire truss to bend are converted into tensile and compressive forces in the members.
compression tension
Loading causes bending of truss, which is develops compression in top members, tension in bottom members.

6.2 Types of trusses and its application
6.2.1 Roof trusses Often used as part of an industrial building frame as shown in Fig.
7-2.
Fig. 7-2
The roof load is transmitted to the truss at the joints by series of purlins.
Generally, the roof trusses are supported either by columns of wood, steel or reinforced concrete.
The roof truss along with its supporting columns called as a bent. To keep the bent rigid and capable of resisting horizontal wind
forces, knee braces are sometimes used at the supporting columns. The space between adjacent bents is called a bay. Bays are often
tied together using diagonal bracing to maintain rigidity of the structure.
The gusset plate is the connections which formed by bolting or welding at the ends of the members to a common plate.
Fig. 7-3 : Gusset plate
Trusses used to support roofs are selected on the basis of the span,
the slope and the roof material. Some of common types of trusses are displayed in the Fig. 7-4.

1.2.2 Bridge trusses
The main structural elements of a typical bridge truss are shown in Fig. 7-5.
Fig. 7-5 : The structure elements of typical bridge truss
The load on the deck is first transmitted to stringers then to floor beam and finally to the joints of the two supporting side trusses.
The top and bottom cords are connected by top and bottom lateral bracing which serves to resist the lateral forces caused by wind and the sidesway caused by moving vehicles.
Additional stability is provided by the portal and sway bracing.

The typical forms of bridge trusses currently used for single span are shown in Fig. 7-6.

6.3 Assumptions in analysis
The assumptions are necessary to determine the force developed in each member when the truss is subjected to a given loading.
C A to C, C to B, B to A
the connection between them is called as truss member
Fig. 7-7 : Truss member
the assumptions are; i) All members are connected at both ends by smooth
frictionless pins.
Mechanics of Materials
206
ii) All loads are applied at joints (member weight is negligible).
ASK STUDENTS: Why the analysis assume that the smooth pin is frictionless?
Why the analysis assume that the member weight is negligible?
Because of these two assumptions, each truss acts as an axial force member and the forces acting at the ends of the member must be directed along axis of the member.
If the force tends to elongate the member, it is tensile force (T) as shown in Fig. 7-8.
If the force tends to shorten the member, it is compressive force (C).
In analysis it is important to state whether the force is tensile or compressive.
The forces inside the member and outside should opposite

6.4.1 General The structures mechanics involves determination of unknown forces
on the structures. Some of these structures can be completely analyzed by using the
equations of equilibrium.
ΣFx = 0 (F = F) ΣFy = 0 (F = F ) ΣMz =0 (M = M)
The structures are known as statically determinate.
On the other hand, if there exist extra redundant reaction
components, then the structure is said to be statically indeterminate.
Mechanics of Materials
207
6.4.2 Determinancy Criteria for Structures To be in a state of static equilibrium, a structure must meet the
requirements of stability. A statically indeterminate structure is a structure that had more
unknown forces.
Eg; ( to determine whether the truss is determinate or indeterminate)
For a pinned joint frame (trusses); i) m+r = 2j ……just stiff (statically determinate) ii) m+r < 2j ……under stiff (form a mechanism)…unstable (it will collapse since there will be an insufficient number of bars @ reactions to constraint all the joints). iii) m+r > 2j ……over stiff (statically indeterminate)
-A truss can be unstable if it is statically determinate or statically indeterminate. -A truss is externally unstable if all of its reaction is concurrent or parallel.
Mechanics of Materials
208
EXAMPLE 7.1 Determine number of redundant and state the determinancy criteria for the truss as shown below;
a) m=10 r =3 j =6 n= m + r – 2j = 10 + 3 – 2(6) m + r = 13 = 1…..has a redundancy of 1th degree 2j = 12 =m+r > 2j ….over stiff (statically indeterminate)
b)
EXAMPLE 7.2 Define whether the truss is statically determinate or indeterminate
m = 7 m+r = 2j r = 3 7 + 3 = 2(5) j = 5 10 = 10 …….statically determinate truss But this truss is unstable since the support reactions are parallel.
Mechanics of Materials
209
m = 7 m+r = 2j r = 3 7 + 3 = 2(5) j = 5 10 = 10 …….statically determinate truss But this truss unstable since the support reactions are concurrent.

Procedure for Analysis: The following procedures can be used as the guidance to solve the problems using the method of joints.
Determine the truss is determinate or indeterminate by using the stability and determinancy equation.
Calculate the support reactions if necessary.
Draw the free-body diagram of a joint having at least one known force and
at most two unknown forces. If the joint is located at the supports, it may be necessary to find the external reactions at the support.
All loads are assumed moved outward from the joint.
The x and y axes can be resolved into their x and y components. Two force
equilibrium equations ΣFx =0 and ΣFy =0 are applied.
Continue to analyze the member forces at the other joints where again it is necessary to choose a joint having at most two unknowns and at least one known force.
Indicate whether the member in compression or tension.

Procedure for Analysis: The following procedure provides the guidance to determine the forces in the members of a truss by using the method of sections.
Determine the truss is determinate or indeterminate by using the stability and determinancy equation.
Calculate the support reactions if necessary.
Make a decision as to how to ‘cut’ the truss through the members where
forces are to be determined.
Draw the free-body diagram of the part of the section truss whether left or right section which has the least number of forces on it.
Moments should be summed about a point that lies at the intersection of
the lines of action of two unknown forces. The third unknown force is determined directly from the equation.
