DESIGN OF WOODEN TRUSS

GIVEN : Span (L) = 12.20 mts.

Spacing (S) = 2.00 mts.
Pitch (H) = 1.97 mts.
Load (w) = 62.00 kg/m2
Axial stress (fa) = 57.00 kg/cm2

FIGURE : a
H = 1.97
X
Y= 1.35

b
L1= 4.27
L2= 6.70
L = 12.20

R1 R2

SOLVING FOR DIST. "X" : FOR BOTTOM CHORD :

X= (H x (1+ L2)) / SQRT(H2+ (1+ L2)2)
X= 2.15 mts. TRY : 2 x 6 COCO LUMBER
f 'a = B. C.
WEIGHT OF TRUSS : 2x6
WT = 2.45 + 1.20 L f 'a = 47.34 kg/cm2
WT = 19.49 kg/m2
f 'a < fa : OK !
TRIBUTARY AREA :
TRIB. AREA (T.A.) = (2 + L) x S FOR TOP CHORD :
TRIB. AREA (T.A.) = 28.40 m 2

TRY : 2 x 6 COCO LUMBER

DESIGN LOAD : f 'a = T.C.
DL = (WT + W) x T.A. 2x6
DL = 2,314.32 kg. f 'a = 46.57 kg/cm2

SOLVING FOR REACTION : f 'a < fa : OK !

R1 = R2
R1 = 1,157.16 kg.
THEREFORE :
SUM Moment @ a = 0 USE 2 x 6 FOR BOTH TOP
Bott.Chord (BC) = R1 x L1 AND BOTTOM CHORD AND
Y 2 x 4 FOR WEB MEMBER.
Bott.Chord (BC) = 3,664.67 kg.

SUM Moment @ b = 0
Top Chord (TC) = R1 x L2
X
Top Chord (TC) = 3,605.77 kg.
