EXPERIMENT 4
DKA 5A
OBJECTIVE :
APPARATUS :
PROCEDURE :
1) Place one end of the plane truss on the roller support and the
other on the pin support (please ensure that the centre of th
joint is located on the knife edge and at the centre of the
roller).
2) Loosen the screw jack so that the truss is free from the applied
load.
3) Zerro the force gauge readings on the members and the screw
jack.
5) Record the magnitude of the applied load and the force gauge
readings.
6) Increase the magnitude of the applied load and for each load
increment records the force gauge readings.
Force in Member CB
1) Using the data in the table above, plot the graph of force in the
members verses the applied load for the experimental and
theoretical case.

DISCUSSION :
1) State the relationship between the applied load and the force in
the members.

and must have the same magnitude as the external force, see
Figure 5.4 (c). For members who have this compressive force,
the internal force to the point of connection.
2) State the possible factors that might have influenced your result
and means of overcoming it.

CONCLUSION :
When the load is applied to the truss, the foce in each of members of
a plan truss will have a different reading of force.
