Truss is a structure built up of three or more members which are normally considered being pinned and hinged at the joints. The following figure shows different types of trusses, perfect and redundant. Load applied to the truss is transmitted to joint so that each individual members are in either pure tension or compression.
Objectives
To develop student’s understanding on the potential of truss system in their design.
- To develop student’s understanding of force distribution in a truss
- To design a roof truss which fulfils the following criterias:
o High aesthetic value
o Minimal construction material
Learning Outcomes
- Explore and apply understanding of load distribution in a truss
- Able to evaluate and identify tension and compression members in a truss structure
- Explore different arrangement of members in a truss structure
