Question

Changes in temperature can cause large reaction forces in statically indeterminate members. Is it true or false? How?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The changes in the temperature in Statically Indeterminate Members leads to large reaction forces as a result of the induced temperature stresses and changes in the material dimensions.

The Statically Indeterminate Structures are thus self-strained due to the temperature changes.
