Understanding and Analyzing Trusses
Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints which can be approximated to pinned connections. It is typically assumed that loads are applied to the joints of the truss, not ...
The truss shown above is DETERMINATE ... It is easy to see from equilibrium analysis (i.e., looking at the FBD of joint C) that member (1) is in compression and member (2) is in tension. The relative ...
