6. INTERNAL FORCES IN STRUCTURES

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of internal forces within structures, focusing on shear and moment diagrams, and applying these concepts to statically determinate structures including frames, arches, and grids. By understanding the relationship between loads, shear, and moment, students will be equipped to analyze structures effectively and prepare for member design. The chapter also revisits important examples to reinforce learning and facilitate the calculation of deformations.
