ASSIGNMENT-II
a) Indeterminate Trusses
1. Find the forces in the members of the following truss. AE/L is the same for all members.
Take BD and AE as redundants.
10 kN
D
4m
10 kN
E

4m
2. Three bars of linearly elastic material are connected at A,B,C and D by pins as shown in the
figure. Determine the force in the member AB caused by the applied load. The values of L/A for
AD is 7/15, for AC 7/20 and for AB 1. Treat AB as redundant. B,C and D are hinges.

3. Using the truss in question 1, find the forces in members due to forcing of member BC which is
short in length by 1mm.
