Preface

Voices of Confidence: Taking Action If I have seen further than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.1 Architecture/Mechanics/Structure is the proud result of a much longer and more diverse history than other technical disciplines. Being our second oldest profession, we would be delighted if we could develop an understanding of evolution.1. 1 Before the Greeks2 A long time ago, architecture existed as an art rather than a science. There is no appropriate trade-off between either the strength of structural components or the behavior of structural materials. General rules and experience, safeguarded by party secrets and rarely supplemented by new information, guided architects from generation to generation. But the pre-Galilean buildings meet modern standards (pyramids, Via Appia, aqueducts, Colosseum, Gothic cathedrals, to name a few). 3 Some believe Imhotep, one of the two mentioned players, was the first engineer. He is B.C. Around 3000. He constructed the Step Pyramid of Sakkara and made significant contributions to ancient Egypt. 4 The Code of Hammurabi in Babylon (1750 BC) 282 includes the punishment of “builders” whose houses collapse. Greeks 2 He agreed to conquer Syracuse in the School of 980.1. 3 Romans10 Science was more advanced among the Romans than among the Greeks. Despite being professionals and builders, the Romans lacked innovative thinking. 11 As the Roman Empire expanded, Romans built important roads such as Via Appia, Cassia, and Aurelia (some are still in use today); they also built large bridges (such as Caesar’s one-third kilometer-long bridge over the Rhine) and stadiums (Coliseum).

12 One of the structures built by the Romans is the Pantheon.

 A worthy Syracuse champion.1. 3 Romans 10 Science was more advanced among the Romans than among the Greeks. Despite being professionals and builders, the Romans seemed to lack innovative thinking. 11 As the Roman Empire expanded, Romans built important roads such as Via Appia, Cassia, and Aurelia (some are still in use today); they also built large bridges (such as Caesar’s one-third kilometer-long bridge over the Rhine) and stadiums (Coliseum).

1. When analyzing structures using hand calculations, it’s sometimes easier (but not always necessary) to first identify the reactions.

Determine responses first, then internal forces and deformations (such as deflections and rotations), to determine the foundation load.
4. Support conditions vary based on structural type.
In 2D constructions, rollers only give restraint in one direction, but in 3D structures, they can provide restriction in one or both directions. A roller allows rotation.
Hinge: enables rotation but not displacements.
Fixed Support: It prevents rotation and displacement in all directions.
3.2 Equilibrium.
We determine five reactions using the relevant static equilibrium equations.
6. The sum of forces and moments in a static system must equal zero.

Static Determinacy.

 Static structures rely solely on geometry, boundary conditions, and loads to determine reactions.

 Static indeterminacy refers to reactions that cannot be determined only by static equilibrium equations (or conditional equations if present).

Assumptions

Cables and trusses are 2D or 3D constructions made up of simple one-dimensional components that transfer axial forces along their axis.

2. Cables can only carry tensile forces; trusses can carry both tensile and compressive loads.
Cables are flexible and prone to oscillation, which requires stabilization.
4. Bridges, long-span roofs, electric towers, and space structures frequently use trusses.
For trusses, assume 1. Bars are pin-connected.
2. The joints are frictionless hinges.Only the joints receive load application.
6 Triangle parts often form a truss, with compression on the upper chord and tension on the bottom chord. Orientation determines whether to tension or compress the diagonals.
