Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a two-dimensional frame structure and compare the use of flexibility and stiffness methods. What insights into the internal forces and displacements can be gained?

💡 Hint: Draw the frame and label your equations and forces.

Question 2

Demonstrate the process of converting a statically indeterminate structure into a determinable one using flexibility method steps. Provide a clear example.

💡 Hint: Consider how many supports you need to remove to reach statical determinacy.
