(a)
Categorize the given plane truss as unstable, statically indeterminate or statically determinate.
Find the degree of static indeterminacy in case the given truss is statically indeterminate.
(a)
Answer to Problem 1P
The given truss is unstable.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The Figure of plane truss is shown.
Calculation:
Show the conditions for plane truss as follows:
Here, m is the number of members of the truss, r is the support reactions and j is the number of joints.
Refer the Figure of the given plane truss.
The number of the members in the plane truss is
The number of reaction is
The number of the joints in the plane truss is
Substitute the values of m, r, and j with Equation (1).
Thus, the plane truss is unstable.
(b)
Categorize the given plane truss as unstable, statically indeterminate or statically determinate.
Find the degree of static indeterminacy in case the given truss is statically indeterminate.
(b)
Answer to Problem 1P
The given truss is statically determinate.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The Figure of plane truss is shown.
Calculation:
Refer the Figure of the given plane truss.
The number of the members in the plane truss is
The number of reaction is
The number of the joints in the plane truss is
Substitute the values of m, r, and j with Equation (1).
Thus, the plane truss is statically determinate.
(c)
Categorize the given plane truss as unstable, statically indeterminate or statically determinate.
Find the degree of static indeterminacy in case the given truss is statically indeterminate.
(c)
Answer to Problem 1P
The given truss is statically determinate.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The Figure of plane truss is shown.
Calculation:
Refer the Figure of the given plane truss.
The number of the members in the plane truss is

The road will have 3 lanes in each direction. The survey data from the existing roads close to that area shows that 15% of the vehicles in the traffic stream are heavy and the rest are light. However, no details of heavy vehicle types are given. It is also estimated that the annual growth factor is 3.2%.

The retaining structure is made of wood planks supported in the horizontal direction on vertical steel piles (HP sections). The HP piles shape of an H and are typically used for piles. The section properties of these sections (A, I, S, etc…) are given in Part 1 of the AISC steel manual. The spacing of the supporting HP piles is 20ft. The height of the piles is 15 from top of the pile to top of the footing. The height of the water table from the top of the footing is 9 ft as shown in the elevation in Fig. 4. The pile height and soil properties and the earth pressure distribution behind the retaining structure are shown in Fig. 5.
