ANALYSIS OF DETERMINATE TRUSSES
⚫ ASSUMPTION FOR DESIGN:
◦ All members are connected at both ends by smooth frictionless pins.
◦ All loads are applied at joints (member weight is negligible)
◦ Notes:
🞄Centroids of all joint members coincide at the joint
🞄All members are straight
🞄All load conditions satisfy Hooke’s Law

ANALYSIS OF DETERMINATE TRUSSES
⚫ ZERO FORCE MEMBERS
◦ Truss member that carry no load
◦ It is constructed as a form of bracing which adds stability to the
structure
◦ A stress could develop in some point in time when structure is
subjected to time varying load

ANALYSIS OF DETERMIN ATE TRUSSES
⚫ IDENTIFYING ZERO FORCE MEMBERS
◦ If a truss joint is not carrying any loads and not supported by a pin or
roller
◦ Rule 1: if the joint connects two members only where the angle between
the members is not 180 degrees, both members are zero force member
◦ Rule 2:if joint connects two members only and are colinear and one of
the member carries no load, then, the other member also is a zero force
member
◦ Rule 3: if the joint connects three members only where two members are
colinear,then,the third member is a zero force member
