Definition Truss theory (idealization): Straight bars only; Hinge joints; Forces in joints only; Schwedler-Żurawski formula for straight bar: d M(x) / dx = Q(x) d Q(x) / dx = q(x) Photo: Author Des #2 / 2 Forces in joints only no loads along bar (q(x) = 0): q(x) = 0 Q(x) = const = C M(x) = C x + A Hinges: M(0) = 0 A = 0 ; M(L) = 0 C = 0 There are axial forces only M(x) = 0 ; Q(x) = 0
Truss real: Bars with imperfections; No ideal hinge joints; Gravity along bars; Photo: Author It s rather frame
Effort (calculation as a truss) Effort (calculation as a frame) Time of calculations (truss) << Time of calculations (frame) Because of these reasons, we calculate real truss as ideal truss.
Chord Web members = brace members = cross bars Chord Photo: waldenstructures.com There is common name for every not-chord bars (web member or brace member or cross bar). In Polish language exist two words: słupki (vertical bars) and krzyżulce (inclined bars). Common mistake is to design different type of cross-section only because of different name or direction - for web members important are only axial forces and lengths, not names.

Such type of corrosion can develop without apparent external symptoms and can cause damage of structure without warning signs.

Critical length for compressed chord of truss is depend on plane of analysis. For vertical plane, critical length is equal distance between cross-bars. For horizontal plane, critical length is equal distance between bracings: Photo: Author
Critical length for compressed chord of truss is depend on plane of analysis and part of structure. For web members, critical length = distance between nodes.

Bracings are very important for behaviour of structures, including for trusses. For calculations, there are used special algorithms and models. More information about bracings will be presented on lecture #15. Photo: Author

There were used special type of bars for old-type truss: closely spaced build-up compression members. Photo: Author Photo: img.drewno.pl Photo: EN 1993-1-1 fig 6.13 Special way of calculations; Resistance depends on distance between batten plates (a) and number of their planes.
We must analysed initial deformations for members with two or more chords (according to EN 1993-1-1 p.6.4). This means, these elements are always bent, even if axial force acts only. Photo: EN 1993-1-1 fig 6.7 M Ed II = e imperf N Ed More information will be presented on lecture #13 and # 19 #6 / 76 laced compression members, battened compression members, closely spaced build-up compression members Photo: EN 1993-1-1 fig 6.13
For these three types of members (laced compression members, battened compression members, closely spaced build-up compression members) we should use special way of calculations. Of course, we can put full geometry (chords and lacing system or batten plates) into computer programm, but each membes consist of many submembers n = 29 n = 41 Photo: Author Photo: Author
There is possible, that in structure we have more than 100 000 sub-members; it means very long term of calculations. Photo: s9.flog.pl
Special way of calculations we no analysed sub-members, but one equivalent uniform element of effective geometry. Next, cross-sectional forces, calculated for this member, are recalculated to new values of cross-sectional forces applied to chord and lacing system or batten plates.

Photo: Author There is big horizontal reaction for symmetrical support. Because of this reaction, truss will behave as for unsymmetrical supports after short time of exploatation (deformations of columns, local destruction of masonry or concrete structure around anchor bolts). Calculation as for symmetrical supports means, that forces taken under consideration in design project are completely different than real forces in structure: for bottom chord real are much more bigger than theoretical. This means big probability destruction of bottom chord and collapse total structure. Better way is to model the truss with unsymmetrical supports - this is closer its real behaviour.
There is difference between two directions of web members Photo: Author
Deformations: elongation (tensile force) and abridgement (compressive force): Transmission of forces form chords to supports and zero force members: Photo: Author

Żółtowski, Arkady 2000): J truss 0,7 [A top chord A bottom chord / (A top chord + A bottom chord )] (h 1, truss / 2) 2 For symmetrical cross-section: A top chord = A bottom chord = A chord J truss 0,7 [A chord2 / (2 A chord )] (h 1, truss / 2) 2 = 0,7 (h 1, truss2 / 2) A chord
Stifness of I-beam: Stifness of truss: J I (h 1, I2 / 2) A flange + J web J I 0,7 (h 1, truss2 / 2) A chord For different types of I-beams, J web = 7% - 25% of J flange For J truss = J I, we need A chord >> A flange and h 1, truss >> h 1, I h 1, I = L / 20 - L / 25 ; h 1, truss = L / 10 - L / 15 h 1, truss > h 1, I A chord - CHS, RHS, I-beam ; A flange - plate A chord >> A flange
Death weight of truss I st proposal (PN B 02001): g T = [ 2 / a + 0,12 (g + q)] L / 100 g T, g (roofing + purlins), q (snow + wind) [kn/m 2 ], characteristic values a (distance between trusses), L [m]
II nd proposal: F ch-down F ch-up M max / H A ch-down A ch-up = A = M max / (H f y ) g ch-down g ch-up g web members = A d steel L g T = 3 d steel L M max / (H f y )
