Assume any missing data. Use pencil in drawing only.
Steel tables and Egyptian Code of Steel structures are allowed
Question # 1: (24 Marks)
The shown structure consists of steel trusses spaced at 8.0 m to cover an area of 24 x 48 m
Given data
Weight of steel = 50 kg/m2
Weight of covering (corrugated sheets) = 20 kg/m2
Live Load on the roof = 50 kg/m2
St(37) Gusset plate thickness = 10 mm Bolt diameter =16 mm

Member cross- section and internal forces

Member Force Cross-section

U1 - 9.5 ton 2Ls 70 X70X 7
U2 - 10.4 ton 2Ls 70 X70X 7
D1 + 11.2 ton ????
D2 - 10.5 ton 1L 70 X70X 7
V1 ??? 1L 60 x60 x 6
L1 12.5 ton 2Ls 80 x80 x8
L2 + 14.6 ton 2Ls 80 x80 x8
