THEORETICAL QUESTIONS ON SIMPLE TRUSSES

SHORT QUESTIONS: TOPIC - TRUSS ANALYSIS

1)      What is a truss? Classify them with proper diagrams.
2)      State the differences between a perfect truss and an imperfect truss.
3)      Distinguish between a deficient truss and a redundant truss.
4)      Write the Maxwell’s Truss Equation.
5)      What are the assumptions made, while finding out the forces in the various members of a truss?
6)      What are the differences between a simply supported truss and a cantilever truss? Discuss the method of finding out reactions in both the cases.


Analyse the following Trusses:
 
(1)      Analyse the Truss by the method of Joints.
(2) Find the internal forces on the links 1, 2 and 3 by the method of Sections.
(3) Determine the magnitude and the nature of the forces in the members BC, GC and GF of the given truss.
(4)   A truss of span 10 m is loaded as shown in the figure. Find the forces in all the links by any method.
