SSLL11 - Lattice of pin jointed struts under

concentrated loading

Summary:
This test makes it possible to check the elements of bar and beam for the structural analysis out of lattice. The
lattice considered is plan. Calculation is static, elastic, linear. The reference solution is analytical.

Three modelings make it possible to test the elements POU_D_T with and without rotulées connections, as well
as the elements BAR.

Three modelings make it possible to test the elements POU_D_TG, POU_D_EM and POU_D_TGM with and
without rotulées connections.

10 Summary of the results

The results are in conformity with the reference solution for three modelings:
• model of beams,
• model of beams and linear relations,
• model of bars.
Elements POU_D_TG, POU_D_EM and POU_D_TGM allow to get results very close to those obtained
with the elements POU_D_T.
