Solve structures subjected to support settlement

Support settlements don’t influence the force distribution for statically determinate structures. For statically indeterminate structures, the additional displacement can be taken into account when solving the statically determinate structure with displacement conditions without additional steps. You should be aware of rigid body rotations due to these support settlements.

This topic is treated in chapter 6.1 of the book Mechanica, Statisch onbepaalde constructies en bezwijkanalyse (in Dutch) (Hartsuijker and Welleman, 2007).
