In this video we'll take a detailed look at trusses. Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints ...

The relative magnitudes of the member loads is found from simple trig (also for the FBD of joint C). The truss shown above is INDETERMINATE. Both equilibrium and deformation must be included in the ...

Use either the method of joints or method of sections to determine the load carried in each member of the truss. For Part (b), review Chapter 3 of the lecture book for determining the shear stress due ...
