AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a forces problem requiring assistance for calculations. The user is uncertain about how to approach the problem, which is attached for reference. A suggestion is made to use a similar method as previously applied to trusses for calculating reactions. It is emphasized that the roller support at the far right can only support vertical loads. Clear guidance is provided to help resolve the issue effectively.

And why not? For calculating reactions, use the same approach as you did on your subsequent post on trusses. Note that the roller support at the far right can support vertical loads only.

Thread 'Have I solved this structural engineering equation correctly?'

Hi all, I have a structural engineering book from 1979. I am trying to follow it as best as I can. I have come to a formula that calculates the rotations in radians at the rigid joint that requires an iterative procedure. This equation comes in the form of: $$ x_i = \frac {Q_ih_i + Q_{i+1}h_{i+1}}{4K} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i-1} + \frac {C}{K}x_{i+1} $$ Where: ## Q ## is the horizontal storey shear ## h ## is the storey height ## K = (6G_i + C_i + C_{i+1}) ## ## G = \frac {I_g}{h} ## ## C...
