Summary
Several techniques based on exploiting symmetry are introduced for reducing the level of calculation in beams and frames that are symmetrical or anti-symmetrical in their original layout. Attention is paid to the performance of stress resultants and kinematical parameters on the plane of symmetry in order to establish quantities which are zero from the outset. This approach reduces, for example, the number of redundancies in statically indeterminate cases.
