Whatever the forces formed are acting in any type of structure, will act on joints (imagine all supports can be considered as joints, but joints are not supports). Force can act horizontal & vertical at any joints. Generally to get unknown forces we will prepare equations accordingly.

Number of equation depends upon the number of joints.

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

It depends on KI neglecting axial deformation.

Explain me how it is?

Nelson said:   10 years ago
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:   9 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.
