Analysis of Pimjointed Trusses

Analysis of Pimjointed Trusses In Chapter 1 we discussed various structural forms and saw that for moderately large spans, simple beams become uneconomical and may be replaced by trusses. These structures comprise members connected at their ends and are constructed in a variety of arrangements. In general, trusses are lighter, stronger and stiffer than solid beams of the same span; they do, however, take up more room and are more expensive to fabricate. Initially in this chapter we sha...

It can be seen from Fig. 4.1 that trusses consist of a series of triangular units. The triangle, even when its members are connected together by hinges or pins as in Fig. 4.3(a), is an inherently stable structure, i.e. it will not collapse under any arrangement of loads applied in its own plane. On the other hand, the rectangular structure shown in Fig. 4.3 (b) would be unstable if vertical loads were applied at the joints and would collapse under the loading system shown; in other words it...
