So what are trusses?

Trusses are … • Structures designed to support loads:

− Will transmit loads through the joints of the structure

− Will ultimately transmit loads to the foundation

• Cost effective in design because:

− Weight is minimized (weight of members is typically

light compared to loads carried, so it is often

neglected)

− Strength to weight ratio is maximized

Working with Trusses: Assumptions

• All loads are applied / transmitted at joints

• All members are joined by pin connections

• Consist entirely of two-force members

(review section 5.4)

• Can contain zero-force members

Zero-force Members

What are zero-force members?

• Structural members that carry no force

Why do we use them?

• Used to provide stability

– During construction

– If (intermittent) loading of the truss changes

• Shortens chord length and increases

buckling capacity of compression members

Working with Trusses: So what is the objective of an analysis?

• To determine

the support

reactions.

• To determine

the forces

supported by

individual

members of the

truss. 12

Working with Trusses: Analyzing Structural Forces in Truss Members

• Truss members will carry either

– axial tension (T) forces or

– axial compression (C) forces

• There are two methods of evaluating

trusses.

– Method of Joints (static equilibrium of a point)

– Method of Sections (static equilibrium of a

rigid body)

15

Truss Analysis: Method of Joints

Evaluate an individual joint or pin connection.

• Treat each joint as a 2D particle in equilibrium

• Can have a maximum of two unknowns

• Can sum forces in x & y direction

16

Truss Analysis: Method of Sections

Evaluate a section including multiple joints.

• Treat as 2D rigid body in equilibrium

• Must cut through structural members to evaluate the force.

• Maximum of three unknowns (to solve everything)

• Can sum forces in x & y direction

• Can sum moments

17

Method of Approach for Truss

Problems 1. Solve for support reactions if needed.

2. Mark all members on the truss that need to be

solved.

3. Pick the joint / section for which you will draw your

FBD. Make sure you have the appropriate number

of unknowns.

4. ALWAYS assume unknown forces to be in

TENSION.

5. Be sure to designate answers as (T) or (C)

6. In subsequent FBDs, draw known forces in the

direction they actually act.

reactions have already been

found, draw the correct FBD to

solve for the forces in members

DE, JM and JH.

20

Trusses: More FBD Practice

Assuming the necessary support reactions have already been

found, draw the correct FBD to solve for the forces in members CD

and DE.

Can trusses have curved

members?

• Two-force members do not have to be

straight…

• The ideal answer is NO, but …

• Yes, if the members are sufficiently stiff

so that moments developed at the

connections are negligible.

• Curved members are not as cost-

effective. 21
