Document Summary
Struc needs to have at least enough to make it stable. But extra support makes calc more difficult how to decide if struc has not enough, enough or excessive support. *while drawings for pins and rollers only in +ve x-dir, understood that they can prov reactn in -ve dir also. Can"t move in any dir w/ respect to supp (translate or rotate) *must ensure can"t be rotated abt pin >>> maintain rotational eq. M abt pin (applied moment due to all forces acting on struc abt pin) = 0. *must ensure can"t be rotated abt roller >>> maintain rotational eq. M abt roller (applied moment due to all forces acting on struc abt roller) = 0. *must ensure roller can"t be translated >>> maintain translational eq. Fx @ roller (where x is direction of roller) Free to rotate and translate w/ respect to supp. In equilibrium, so all forces balanced and structure is stable. supp.
