Consider 1 frame equation to be solve is 3 now explain how it depends on joint.

It depends on KI neglecting axial deformation.

Govardhan said:   10 years ago
Number of equations depends upon the number of joints.

Some body explain me?

No I didn't think so, it depends on the degree of kinematic indeterminacy. Think of a frame which can be both sway & non-sway. In former case equations are 2 while in later case it is 3.

It VL depend on no of joints. As we have to determine joint rotations which in turn give us unknown moments.

Jyothsna said:   10 years ago
What is meant by VL?

PAVITHRA said:   9 years ago
VL is vertical line.

Udhyhakumar said:   9 years ago
This is applicable for all the types of slopes and deflection method.

Yogita sharma said:   9 years ago
Force can act on horizontal and vertical at any joints.
