Truss Analysis Lab Report
The problem the problem is to optimize one of the given truss forms through computer aided analysis.
Truss analysis lab report. The objectives the objective is to deepen the understanding of the behavior of the truss and to further exercise the utilization of computer tools in design. Trusses able to allows for the analysis of the structure uses a few assumptions and the application of newton s laws of motion according to branch of physics known as static. To be completed prior to performing laboratory. This analysis is to be included as an appendix with the laboratory report handed in upon completion of the work.
The weight of the member is often insignificant compared to the applied loads and so is often omitted. The analysis of trusses often assume that loads are applied to joints only and not at intermediate points along the member. Arc 2213 buidling structure fettuccine truss bridge analysys report 15 3 2 2 truss analysis the design of howe truss is the opposite to that of pratt truss in which the diagonal members are slanted in the direction opposite to that of pratt truss i e. Civil engineering baa uploaded by.
Lab report for engineering lab 2. 6 p a g e methods of truss analysis. The truss structure consists of members elements that takes only tension or compression and no bending moment in what so ever form. In situations where we need to find the internal forces only in a few specific members of a truss the method of sections is more appropriate.
The method of joints is good if we have to find the internal forces in all the truss members. 1 methods of joints 2 methods of section 3 graphical the structure is explored and the forces on each member and joint are identified. The process each team within the lab will select a unique truss to investigate. Doc truss lab report abhishek chib academia edu academia edu is a platform for academics to share research papers.
Trusses are assumed to be pin jointed where the straight components meet for purposes of analysis. Force in redundant truss full report table. Basically the ultimate goal of the lab project is measuring forces in truss members using strain gages as stated above trusses are mainly used for stiffening structures. A truss is made up of members joined together at the edges.
This implies that the truss is subjected to various forces that may be tension compressional or both. Bar 5 load p bar 6 load p 2 bar 7 load 0 707 p these are to checked by doing an analysis of the truss.
