Howe Truss The calculations must be solved symbolically so that when a live load is applied we can measure it at different stages as the live load changes We are only interested in location D - dead load of 30N and location E for the force of the unknown live load. All other forces in image are 0N Figure 2: Howe truss. Dead Load Location: D; Dead Load Magnitude: 30N. Live Load Location: E, unkown force for later in experiment horizontal and vertical members having a nominal length of 10 cm and the diagonal members having a nominal length of 14 cm , the cross-section dimensions of all members are the same. Task 1 Determine the reaction forces at the ends of your truss as a function of the dead and live loads. You may assume that the self-weight of the bridge is negligible. Task 2 Use Method of Joints to determine the force in each member as a function of the dead and live loads. Use Method of Sections to check your calculation based on Method of Joints for at least "one cut".
