The left hand side of equation (5.11) refers to the external virtual work done by the
system of true/real forces moving through the corresponding virtual displacements
of the system. The right hand side of equation (5.8) refers to internal virtual work
done. The principle of virtual displacement states that the external virtual work of
the real forces multiplied by virtual displacement is equal to the real stresses
multiplied by virtual strains integrated over volume. If the value of a particular force
element is required then choose corresponding virtual displacement as unity. Let
us say, it is required to evaluate , then choose

Summary
In this chapter the concept of virtual work is introduced and the principle of virtual
work is discussed. The terms internal virtual work and external virtual work has
been explained and relevant expressions are also derived. Principle of virtual
forces has been stated. It has been shown how the principle of virtual load leads to
unit load method. An expression for calculating deflections at any point of a
structure (both statically determinate and indeterminate structure) is derived. Few
problems have been solved to show the application of unit load method for
calculating deflections in a structure.

FAQs on Virtual Work - 2 - Structural Analysis - Civil Engineering (CE)
| 1. What is virtual work in civil engineering? |  |
Virtual work in civil engineering is a method used to analyze the structural behavior of a system or component under external loads. It involves calculating the work done by internal forces within the structure when it undergoes virtual displacements. This method is particularly useful in determining the equilibrium state and deformations of structures subjected to various loads.
| 2. How is virtual work used in civil engineering? | |
Virtual work is used in civil engineering to analyze and design structures. It provides a mathematical framework to calculate internal forces, deformations, and stresses within a structure. By applying the principle of virtual work, engineers can determine the equilibrium conditions, assess structural stability, and optimize designs. It is commonly used in the analysis of beams, trusses, frames, and other structural components.
| 3. What are the advantages of using virtual work in civil engineering analysis? | |
There are several advantages of using virtual work in civil engineering analysis. Firstly, it provides a systematic and rigorous approach to analyze complex structural systems. Secondly, it allows engineers to consider the effects of both external and internal forces on the behavior of the structure. Additionally, virtual work helps in identifying critical areas prone to excessive deformations or stresses. Lastly, it enables engineers to optimize structural designs by assessing different load scenarios and identifying the most efficient solutions.
| 4. Are there any limitations to using virtual work in civil engineering analysis? | |
While virtual work is a powerful tool in civil engineering analysis, it has some limitations. One limitation is that it assumes linear behavior of materials, neglecting the effects of nonlinearity. Additionally, it requires knowledge of the internal forces within the structure, which may not always be readily available. Furthermore, the method may become computationally intensive for large and complex structures. Despite these limitations, virtual work remains an essential technique in structural analysis.
| 5. How does virtual work differ from actual work in civil engineering? | |
Virtual work and actual work differ in their definitions and applications in civil engineering. Actual work refers to the physical work done by external forces on a structure, such as the energy expended to lift a load or the force applied to deform a material. On the other hand, virtual work is a mathematical concept that accounts for the work done by internal forces within a structure when it undergoes virtual displacements. Virtual work is used to analyze the equilibrium and deformations of structures, while actual work is concerned with the physical energy transfer.
