    This document provides an introduction to analyzing complex structures. It discusses types of structures like trusses, frames, and tents. It also covers types of loads such as dead loads from gravity, live loads from temporary objects, and wind loads. Finally, it outlines support types including fixed ends, pin supports, and roller supports, as well as connection types of rigid and pin connections. The document was prepared by Dr. Xiaodong Huang for the course CIVE1144 Analysis of Complex Structure coordinated by Dr. Sawekchai Tangaramvong.

    Introduction of Structures
    Structure – Made up of a series connected parts used to support a load
    (or loads). e.g. Buildings, Bridges, Towers, Dams, Ship and
    aircraft frames, Tanks, Pressure vessels, Off-shore Platform etc.

    Process of creating a structure:


    1. Planning: Structure for public use
    safe; economical, esthetic etc.
    2. Analysis: To determine internal forces (normal force, shear forces,
    bending moment etc.) and displacements
    3. Design: Determine the size of the members to meet the various
    criteria: strength, stability, deflection (as determined by acceptable
    codes and specifications).
    4. Construction: according to specified design drawings.
    Example of bad design
    Catastrophic result of failed design
    Types of structural elements
    1. Axial force members
    Tied rods or bracing struts

    Types of structures
     Truss

     Beams and Frames
     Surface structures (e.g. tents)
    Pinned Connections

    All members are in tension


    or compression.
    Types of loads
     Dead loads – e.g. gravity load.
     Live loads – may be caused by the weight of objects temporarily placed on a structure.
     Wind loads – either pressure or suction on the exposed surface
     Earthquake forces – produce horizontal shear at the base
     Soil pressure – retaining walls, tunnels etc. are subjected to soil pressure
     Hydrostatic pressure – water tanks, dams etc. are subjected to hydrostatic pressure
     Other loads – blast loading, temperature changes, differential settlement of foundation
    Supports and Connections
    Three types of supports:

    Fixed end Pin support roller support

    Two types of Connections:

    Rigid connection Pin connection
