Solution

A freebodydiagrams in equilibrium, illustrating how loads are carried indicating load paths ..........

One of the most useful aids for solving a statics problem is the free body diagram (FBD). A free body diagram is a graphic, dematerialized, symbolic representation of the body (structure, element or segment of an element) in which all connecting \"pieces\" have been removed. A FBD is a convenient method to model the structure, structural element, or segment that is under scrutiny. It is a way in which to conceptualize the structure, and its composite elements, so that an analysis may be initialized.

All of the physical attrributes of the structure are removed. This is not completed at random, rather with a distinct method. A body, or segment thereof, is represented by a simple single line. Each connection is solely represented by a juncture with distinct properties, or is replaced by a set of forces and moments which would represent the action at that connection. Internal forces which would be found at a node (connection or joint) can be replaced by representational external forces where that \"part\" connects would connect with the other member in the FBD. All loads are represented as force systems.

redundant load paths, ductile failure modes and energy dissipation capacity, among others .... with equilibrium of all free body diagram specified in the search depth.
