Howe Truss Analysis by Finite Element Method Based On 2018 IBC / 2019 CBC

The document summarizes the finite element analysis of a Howe truss based on 2018 IBC and 2019 CBC design criteria. Loads of varying magnitudes are applied to the truss model. Key dimensions of the truss are provided. The analysis results include maximum section forces and displacements at joints. Section forces like axial force, shear and moment are reported for each element. Reactions and internal forces indicate the truss resists the applied loads through compression and tension in the members.

Howe Truss Analysis by Finite Element Method Based on 2018 IBC / 2019 CBC
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. The Ix & A of Web, Cripple and/or Post may be input zero for Queen Post, King Post or Triangle truss.
2. The loads w1, w2, w3, and w4 may be negative (outward) based on IBC/CBC 1605 wind/seismic load combination results.

w1 = 0.3 kips / ft, (4.4 kN / m)
w2 = 0.5 kips / ft, (7.3 kN / m)
w3 = 0.2 kips / ft, (2.9 kN / m)
w4 = -0.5 kips / ft, (-7.3 kN / m)

DIMENSIONS
H= 10 ft, (3.05 m)
h= 3 ft, (0.91 m)
