1. Determine the reactions at the supports A, B, D and F.
30 kN
25 kN/m
2. Determine the force in each member of the truss. State if the members are in tension
or compression. Assume all members are pin connected.
25 kN 10 kN 10 kN
3. Determine the forces in all the members of the complex truss. State if the members
are in tension or compression. Hint: Substitute member AD with one placed between
E and C.
5 kN
4. Determine the force in each member of the space truss. Indicate if the members are
in tension or compression.
5. Determine the functions for shear force and bending moment. Draw the shear force
and bending moment diagram.
10kN/m
6. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for each of the three members of the frame.
Assume the frame is pin connected at B, C and D and A is fixed.
10kN
