SUPPORTS
There are various types of supports available to structural
designers. In this lecture we will focus on three main types of
supports. These are;
• roller support,
• hinge (pin) support,
• fixed support.
SUPPORTS-Roller Support
Reactions: There is only one reaction along the

perpendicular direction to the rollers.
Free-Body diagram:
SUPPORTS-Pin Support
Reactions: There are two reactions, one
along the perpendicular direction to the
supporting surface and the other in parallel
direction to the supporting surface.
Free-Body diagram:
SUPPORTS-Fixed Support
Reactions: There are three reactions, one along the

perpendicular direction to the supporting surface
one in parallel direction to the supporting surface
and one moment applied on the connection point to
the supporting surface.

LOADING-DISTRIBUTED FORCES
The weight of a rigid-body can be represented by a single force directed

towards the center of the earth. The point of application of the force is
the center of gravity.
LOADING-DISTRIBUTED FORCES
SUPPORT REACTIONS
From statics the equations of equilibrium are:

Problem 3.1: Determine the values of the reactions at A and
B.(Neglect the weight of the beams)
Problem 3.2: Determine the values of the reactions at A and
B.(Neglect the weight of the beams)
Problem 3.3: Determine the values of the reactions at A.
RA=7 kN
MA=13kN-m
Problem 3.4: Determine the reaction for the beam loaded as
shown in figure.
Problem 3.5
Problem 3.8 :The Fink truss shown in figure is supported by a roller at A and a
hinge at B. The given loads are normal to the inclined member. Determine the
reaction at A and B.
Hint:Replace the loads by their resultant.
Problem 3.9:

equation for the sum of the moments of
all forces about A. Note there will be

reactions at A.
