Assignment 1
Roof Truss
The truss to be designed is to support a roof which is only accessible for nominal
maintenance and repair. The truss is l m span with 15 pitch. The dimensions of the
truss are shown in the figure below. All of the joints are assumed to be pinned in the
analysis and therefore only axial forces are carried by members.

ST-L1

Assignment 1 cont..
The group coursework must be submitted by 4.30 p.m. on 10th April 2015 to
Mr. Chathuranga.

Check whether the proposed sizes for the top chord, bottom chord, and
selected web members are sufficient to withstand the design forces.
Explain why you select the particular web members (e.g. highest forces or longest member)
If the proposed size is found to be inadequate you are not expected to carry out a further
analysis.

Select a joint (It is not necessary that the joint includes the member you
checked above) and show how the member can be connected using bolts
and welds separately.
Check the adequacy of the bolts and welds that you have proposed above.
