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

1) The document provides analysis and design criteria for a typical truss using finite element methods based on 2018 IBC and 2019 CBC codes. 2) The truss has dimensions of 10 feet tall, 3 feet deep, and 60 feet long and is subjected to various loads along its length, some of which may be outward. 3) The analysis provides section properties, maximum section forces, reactions, and drift at joints for the truss elements under the applied loads.

Typical Truss Analysis by Finite Element Method Based on 2018 IBC / 2019 CBC
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. The Ix & A of Web and/or Post should be input zero for 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.

INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY


LOADS
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)
L= 60 ft, (18.29 m)
