Abstract
An attempt is made to extend the application of the bar-chain method in the analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate trusses. The relationships between the angles of inclination and the unit strains of the members to the actual rotations of the members, and the equivalent end rotations are established. The application of the method is illustrated by means of numerical examples.
