Question
For the reinforcement shown, whose inclined force of 40 kN is applied in the same line of action of the FJ element:
(a) identify the zero force elements
(b) determine the reactions
(c) determine the internal force of the elements DE, HI, KI, AB, AH
Expert Solution
Step 1
(a) Zero Force Elements:
At a unloaded joint, when there are three elements meet out of which two elements are collinear then the third element is zero-force element.
From the figure, the zero force members are BH, DI & LJ
(b) Reactions:
