16 The truss in Fig. 7.B supports a roof dead load of 16 psf. Trusses are spaced 24-in. о.с., and the roof live load is to be in accordance with the IBC. Lumber is No. 2 DF-L. Fasteners do not reduce the area of the members. Truss joints are assumed to be pin-connected. CM 1.0, C, 1.0, and C,-1.0 Find: aThe required member size for the tension (bottom) chord using ASD. b. The required member size for the tension (bottom)...
The truss shown in the figure below is one of several roof trusses spaced at 20 feet apart. Purlins are located at the joints. The weight of the roofing material is 5 psf, and the snow load is 15 psf of horizontal projection of the roof surface. The self-weight of the truss (including purlins) is estimated to be 10 psf of horizontal projection of the roof surface. Use LRFD and design the lightest square HSS for the most critical top...
The truss shown in the figure below is one of several roof trusses spaced 15.0* at 20 feet apart. Purlins are located at the joints. The weight of the roofing material is 5 psf, and the snow load is 15 psf of horizontal projection of the roof surface. The self-weight of the truss (including purlins) is estimated to be 10 psf of horizontal projection of the roof surface. Use LRFD and design the lightest square HSS for the most critical...
The top chord of a truss is braced by the roof about the weak axis of the member and is braced only at the nodes about the other axis. A dead load of 15 lb/ft acts on the top chord of the truss and a snow load of 60 lb/ft acts on the horizontal projection of the top chord of the truss. The roof truss has a slope on the top chord of 5/12. The truss is 20 ft wide...
