Calculation of hyperstatic structures using the force method

Global structural analysis methods aim to determine, firstly, the internal forces and, secondly, the deformed state of a given structure subjected to a given combination of actions. These internal forces and displacements are essential for structural design. The present work is a contribution to the global analysis of hyperstatic structures using the cut-off (or force) method. The general equation of the cut-off method uses flexibility coefficients which are determined by Mohr's integrals or tables giving the result of these integrals directly (Veretchaquine's method). These tables are therefore an indispensable tool for implementing the force method.
