Elementary Structural Analysis UPDATED
SCRIPT 2026 PRACTICE SOLUTIONS
GRADED A+
● Skeletal Structure. Answer: structures composed of one-dimensional
members
● Beam. Answer: a skeletal structure where all members are collinear
and the loads are transverse, meaning that the loads act in the direction
perpendicular to the members
● truss. Answer: A skeletal structure where all members are hinge-
connected to each other and the supports and the loads consist of point
forces only at the joints
● frame. Answer: Skeletal structures which do not qualify as trusses or
beams- A frame is a structure composed of one-dimension almembers
● 2 types of connections. Answer: hinge & rigid
● 3 types of supports. Answer: Fixed, pin, and roller
