    This document contains 10 problems analyzing trusses and frames using methods of joints and sections to determine member forces. The problems involve calculating tension and compression forces in various truss and frame members. Reactions and internal forces are also determined at supports and sections for different beam and frame structures subjected to loads. Assumptions for planar truss and frame analysis are listed, along with the internal forces developed when cutting a section of a 3D frame.
