3. A roof truss is begin designed to carry both distributed roof loads and a moving crane load. The
maximum crane load is 65 kips. Use the set of analysis results below and the same approach used in
Lab 1 to determine the worst/maximum loading cases for: (a) the left support reaction (R15 ); and
(b) the tension and compression forces in member 2-10 (i.e., the member connecting joints 2 and 10,
M2-10). Note you can use symmetry to handle crane loads to the right of the midpoint.

A suggested approach is to populate tables (or spreadsheets) of the form shown below. The influence coefficients come from the unit load results in the above solutions, and the combination results
come from adding the roof-load-induced value and the crane load (40 k) times the relevant influence
coefficient.

Once youve run through this calculation yourself, you should be able see how this approach could be
extended to determine the worst-case loading for all members and supports.
4. The simple frame shown below is statically determinate. Construct the moment diagram and determine
the axial force in each member. Before doing any calculations, try sketching the moment diagram and
the displaced shape, and then see how good your prediction turns out to be. Remember, plot the
moment diagram on the compression side of each member1 .

1 the compression side of the member is the side for which the material is in compression. In the case of horizontal beams
this corresponds to the usual concave up = positive plotting convention
