Truss Load

This document calculates the dead loads at different joints of a truss structure. It provides the dimensions and weights of the structural members. It then calculates the total dead load at each joint by summing the product of member lengths and weights connected to that joint. The maximum dead load is at joint G, which is 0.59 kN. The document also calculates the reactions at different joints of the symmetrical truss.

The truss is symmetrical therefore

Joint F = Joint D Joint I = Joint A

Joint G = Joint C

Joint H = Joint B

Reactions

Reaction @ A = 2.4101 (kN) Reaction @ C = -20.3962 (kN) Reaction @ I = -7.7837 (kN)
