Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Modern Framed Structures, Vol. 1 of 3: Designed for the Use of Schools and for Engineers in Professional Practice
Forces exerted upon a given body by another body are called external forces with respect to the one under consideration. Forces acting in the interior of a body are called internal forces or stresses. One body may exert a force upon another Without contact, as by gravity or magnetic action, or by direct contact producing a direct push or pull.
In the structures to be considered in this work the external forces include all the loads and foundation reactions, including the weight of the structure itself, which act upon and which tend to distort it. These forces are always replaced by their equivalent forces applied at the joints before the direct stresses in the members can be computed.
