Truss span L=28m


Tributary span s= 17m
Dead load uniform load qDL = 0.6 kPa
Live Load qLL = 0.5 kPa
Dead load line load wDL=qDL*s=10.200 kN/m
Live load line load wLL= qLL*s = 8.500 kN/m
Ultimate line load wu = 1.35*wDL+1.5*wLL = 26.520 kN/m
Platform L4 BL4 = 13.5 m
PDL= 11m*7.25 kPa=79.750kN/m
PLL= 11m*5 kPa=55.000kN/m
Pu = 1.35*PDL+1.5*PLL = 190.163 kN/m
Ru= 1/2*Pu*L=2662.275 kN
Mu = 1/8*wu*L2+Ru*(L- BL4)/2+1/2* BL4/2*Ru = 30885.632 kNm
Truss lever arm d =3m
Tension force in the truss FEd = Mu/d = 10295.211 kN
fy = 355 MPa
As = FEd/(0.87*fy) = 333.340 cm2
