Since indeterminate structures have more support reactions and/or members than required for static stability, the equilibrium equations alone are sufficient for determining the reactions and internal forces of such structures.

Assume that P = 19.2 kips and L = 7.0 ft. Determine the reaction at support A. Assume that EI is constant for the beam.

Determine the magnitude of the bending moment at B. Let w = 1.3 kip/ft, L1 = 21 ft, and L2 = 31 ft. Assume EI = constant.

Draw the influence line for the moment at B. What is the line’s maximum value? Let L1 = 5 m and L2 = 11 m.

Determine the vertical displacement of joint A if members AE and DE experience a temperature increase of 38°C. Let L = 8 m and α = 11.5E-6/°C.

Assuming that the live loads are transmitted to the bottom chords of the truss, draw the influence line for the force in member BC. The line’s maximum value occurs _______. Let L = 20 ft.

Determine the deflection at B that would be caused by the distributed load if the middle support was not there. Let w = 9 lb/in., a = 53 in., and EI = 113 × 106 lb·in.2.

Using the method of consistent deformations, determine the force in member AD. Let P = 25 kN, L1 = 3 m, and L2 = 5 m. Assume EA = constant.

Determine the distribution factor DFBC. Let w = 1.3 kip/ft, L1 = 38 ft, and L2 = 24 ft. Assume EI = constant.

Determine the magnitude of the bending moment at A. Let w = 2.1 kip/ft, L1 = 16 ft, and L2 = 18 ft. Assume EI = constant.
