Description
The present volume is prepared for those who have had no preliminary training in the design of roof trusses. The stresses in truss members are developed by means of graphical analysis. Beginning with simple systems of forces, the theory of graphic statics is evolved showing the application of the fundamental principles in constructing stress diagrams for various types of trusses and loading. In addition to graphical analyses, tables of coefficients of stresses for the most usual trusses are included, with examples to illustrate their application. Throughout the book appear the solutions of numerous practical examples supplemented by problems to be solved by the student.
