The following step-by-step procedure can be used to determine the reactions of plane statically determinate structures subjected to coplanar loads.
3.1 Equilibrium of Structures 3.2 External and Internal Forces 3.3 Types of Supports for Plane Structures 3.4 Static Determinacy, Indeterminacy,
Space trusses, because of their shape, arrangement of members, or applied loading, cannot be subdivided into plane trusses for the
Consider a simply supported beam subjected to a vertical concentrated load P, as shown in Fig. 3.26. By applying the
