ructl-Theory-Module-6B.-Analysis-of-Three-Hinged-Trusses-1

This learning module focuses on the analysis of three-hinged trusses and arches, aiming to help students identify their structural uses, develop intuition under loading, and analyze them under various load conditions. It includes a brief discussion, problem exercises, and guidelines for simplifying analysis through free body diagrams and equilibrium equations. References for further reading are provided to support the learning objectives.

I. OBJECTIVES freeway in England. This simple
At the end of this module, students should be able to: concrete structure is hinged at
both supports and at midspan,
a) Identify the structural use of three-hinged trusses in reality and represents the most
b) Develop intuition on three-hinged structure under loading elementary use of a three-hinged
arch. (England)
c) Analyze three-hinged trusses under loadings

Earthquake Engineering
A brief discussion of the topic will be given followed by sample problem exercises so Reasearch Center
that at the end of the chapter, students will be able to:

a. Identify the structural use of three-hinged trusses in reality


b. Develop intuition on three-hinged structure under loading
To simplify analysis by mathematical method, the following steps are to be followed.
c. Analyze three-hinged trusses under loadings
1. Draw the entire free body diagram (FBD)
2. Draw the FBD of each segment (left and right segment)
A Three-hinged arch and truss is a superstructure composed of two curved segments
3. Write simultaneous equations in terms of horizontal and vertical component of the
or two (2) simple trusses that are joined together by an internal hinge and supported
reaction at the internal hinge by taking successively moment sum at the external
by two (2) external hinges. It needs two simple separate assemblies of truss or arch hinges
that are joined together to form a single bigger assembly usually used to support 4. Apply the two other equations of equilibrium to the FBD of each segment to solve
roofing of a long span building and bridges. Finding the hinge reactions at the three the vertical and horizontal components of the reactions at the external hinges
hinges is a common problem in structural analysis. 5. Check result from FBD of the entire truss.
