Dead Load at Top Chord: Computation of Stresses

The document contains a diagram showing loads applied to various points (A through H) of a structure. It also includes a Maxwell diagram to calculate internal forces. The document then shows computations of stresses at various points of the structure by multiplying the loads by the length of the corresponding arms on the Maxwell diagram. This allows calculation of the internal forces in kN at each point.
