TRUSS DESIGN
INTRODUCTION
A truss is essentially a triangulated system of
straight interconnected structural elements.
The most common use of trusses is in buildings,
where support to roofs, the floors and internal
loading such as services and suspended ceilings,
are readily provided.
The individual elements are connected at nodes;
the connections are often assumed to be
nominally pinned .
INTRODUCTION(cont.)
The external forces applied to the system and the
reactions at the supports are generally applied at
the nodes.
The principal force in each element in a truss is
axial tension or compression.
TYPE OF TRUSSES
Trusses comprise assemblies of tension and
compression elements.
Under gravity loads, the top and bottom chords of
the truss provide the compression and tension
resistance to overall bending, and the bracing
resists the shear forces.
A wide range of truss forms can be created. Each
can vary in overall geometry and in the choice of
the individual elements.

Solution:

q = 1.35Gk + 1.5 Qk
= 1.35 (___) + 1.5 (___)
= _______ kN/m2
Area of load transferredto any intermediate
nodes, A
A = Sp x St = ____ x ____ = _____ m2
Point load at node, P
P = q x A = ____ x ____ = _____ kN
Solution:
Point load at each node, P
P = w * purlin spacing (Sp)
P = 26 kN/m x 3 m
= 78kN
~ for external nodes, point load is equal to P/2 =
78/2 = 39kN
By using method of joint or method of section,
member forces can be determined.
