Proctor/s: Prepared by:

ENGR. RON JAKE V. UY

A. PLANE TRUSS: All members are double angles 4 x 3 x 3/8, short legs back to back
(A = 4.97 in2; I = 3.84 in4 and ytop= 0.782 in, modulus of elasticity, E = 29,000 ksi,
unit weight, γ = 491 lb/ft3 and coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 6.5 x 10 -6/F)

LOAD COMBINATIONS: (1.2DL)

REQUIRED RESULTS:
1. Determine the forces on each member of the truss using GRASP. (10 points)
2. Investigate each member using gear. (15 points)

What to submit:
1. Tabular result of GRASP showing the member forces of each member. Copy in MS
WORD.
2. Result of the investigation of each member in GEAR. Copy in MS WORD.
3. Save the two file in a FOLDER named TRUSS
