    This document discusses three-dimensional framed structures and space trusses. It defines a space truss as an assemblage of straight prismatic members connected by frictionless ball-and-socket joints, with loads acting only at the joints. Members of a space truss develop only axial forces. It also discusses member stiffness relations, coordinate transformations, and solving problems using the matrix stiffness method.

    The key takeaways are that space trusses and grids are 3D and 2D structural frameworks analyzed using matrix methods.

    The main components of a space truss are straight prismatic members connected by frictionless ball-and-socket joints that develop only axial forces.

    A free joint in a space truss has three degrees of freedom - translations in the X, Y and Z directions.

    THREE DIMENSIONAL FRAMED

    STRUCTURES
    PREPARED BY: ENGR. VILLAMOR D. ABAD JR.
    SPACE TRUSS
    • defined as a three-dimensional assemblage of
    straight prismatic members connected at their
    ends by frictionless ball-and-socket joints, and
    subjected to loads and reactions that act only at
    the joints
    • the members develop only axial forces
    • The overall geometry of the space truss, and its
    joint loads and displacements, are described with
    reference to a global Cartesian or rectangular
    right-handed XYZ coordinate system.
    • a free joint of a space truss has three degrees of
    freedom.
    SPACE TRUSS
    • the translation in the X direction is numbered first,
    followed by the translation in the Y direction, and
    then the translation in the Z direction

    PROBLEM 1
    Determine the joint
    displacements, member
    axial forces, and support
    reactions for the space
    truss shown by the matrix
    stiffness method.
    GRID
    GRID
    • defined as a two-dimensional framework of straight
    members connected together by rigid and/or flexible
    connections, and subjected to loads and reactions
    perpendicular to the plane of the structure.
    • usually formulated with the structural framework lying
    in a horizontal plane (unlike plane frames, which are
    oriented in a vertical plane), and subjected to
    external loads acting in the vertical direction.
    • composed of members that have doubly symmetric
    cross-sections, with each member oriented so that
    one of the planes of symmetry of its cross-section is
    in the vertical direction.
    GRID
    ANALYTICAL MODEL AND DEGREES
    OF FREEDOM
    • a grid is divided into members and joints so that all
    of the members are straight and prismatic, and all
    the external reactions act only at the joints.
    • For each member of the grid, a local xyz coordinate
    system is established, with its origin at an end of the
    member and the x axis directed along the member’s
    centroidal axis in the undeformed state.
    • the translation in the Y-direction is numbered first,
    followed by the rotation about the X axis, and then
    the rotation about the Z axis.
    MEMBER STIFFNESS RELATIONS IN
    THE LOCAL COORDINATE SYSTEM
    • assume that the cross sections of all the members
    are free to warp out of their planes under the action
    of torsional moments.
    • has the effect of uncoupling the member’s torsional
    and bending stiffnesses so that a twisting (or
    torsional deformation) of the member induces only
    torsional moments but no bending moments.
    • the local stiffness relations for the members of grids
    can be obtained by simply extending the stiffness
    relations for beams.
