    Structure Stability

    This is exactly what I understood from the statements. The internal deformation of a member or members in a structure exhibits a resistance against collapse and thus the structure is stable in which can stand the applied load (within the ultimate load). The course itself shown the following...

    Sign Convention !

    So we can say the direction of Ma and Mb shown in my last sketch are correct. BUT still the signs of Va and w in my equation is different to the one shown in the book I use. In general, I used to consider different sign convention by other book for analysis, which is different to the one...

    Sign Convention !

    Following the above mentioned sign convention to get +ve M(AB) and -ve M(BA) as shown in the book ... I consider the assumption below; But the sign of loads Vab and w are opposite to what shown in the book itself.

    Sign Convention !

    if we follow the sign convention in point 1 as shown in the photo below the signs of M(AB) and M(BA) shown in the equation is correct if we consider M(AB) as CW and M(BA) as CCW. However what about the remaining loads; uniform load and V(AB)? I am wondering why the direction of moments...

    Sign Convention !

    Yes exactly. that what I notice the moment orientation is different from European to Americans. For Example in american book CW FEM consider as positive and CCW FEM as negative which is opposite to European. This is one of the reason that confused me as the structural analysis book that we...
