Betti’s theorem - Maxwell’s law of reciprocal deflections, unit load and strain energy method for
determination of deflections of statically determinate beams - pin-joined trusses and rigid frames.
UNIT 4 Rolling Loads & Influence Lines
Introduction to Rolling loads - concept of influence lines - influence lines for reaction, shear force
and bending moment in simply supported beams - influence lines for forces in trusses - analysis
for different types of rolling loads - single concentrated load - several concentrated loads -
uniformly distributed load shorter and longer than the span, Absolute maximum bending moment.
