    Method of Joints

    Uploaded by

    Lalaine Ramos
    This document provides examples of using the method of joints to calculate the forces in the members of truss structures. It explains that the method of joints involves writing equilibrium equations at each joint, selecting a joint with two or fewer unknown forces, and then solving successive joints until all member forces are determined. Several example problems are shown demonstrating this process of writing equations at each joint and solving to find the forces in all members.

    Trusses
    Method of Joints
    The free-body diagram of any joint is a concurrent force
    system in which the summation of moment will be of no
    help. Recall that only two equilibrium equations can be
    written

    and

    This means that to solve completely for the forces
    acting on a joint, we must select a joint with no more
    than two unknown forces involved. This can be started
    by selecting a joint acted on by only two members. We
    can assume any unknown member to be either tension
    or compression. If negative value is obtained, this
    means that the force is opposite in action to that of
    the assumed direction. Once the forces in one joint are
    determined, their effects on adjacent joints are
    known. We then continue solving on successive joints
    until all members have been found.
