Notes:
A simple truss is constructed by starting with a basic triangular element and connecting
two members to form an additional element.
Classification of coplanar trusses
Compound truss
A complex truss is one that cannot be classified as being either simple or compound.

Exercices
Classify each of the trusses in the figure below as stable, unstable, statically determinate, or
statically indeterminate. The trusses are subjected to arbitrary external loadings that are
assumed to be known and can act anywhere on the trusses.

The method of joints
Procedure for analysis
Zero-force members may be necessary for the truss during construction and to provide
support if the applied loading is changed.
The zero-force members of a truss can generally be determined by inspection of the joints
