Extract

The problem of analysing the behaviour of a structure as a combination of members joined together, may be stated in the form of a question—What system of loads must be applied to a single member of the combination so that its behaviour as an isolated member is identical to its behaviour as an integral part of the structure? The question becomes clearer upon defining some of the terms used in stating the question.
