Approximate methods of analysis in structural engineering are justified based on assumptions regarding the validity of linear elastic analysis and the inherent ability of structures to redistribute internal forces. The chapter explores vertical and horizontal loads and the assumptions made in the analysis of multi-storey frames, along with techniques for determining reactions and internal forces through free body diagrams.
