Truss analysis

In this project, an industrial site was selected and analysis was done of truss. Type of truss was Pratt-16 and was a statically determinant truss. In truss, different kind of loads such as live load and dead load acting on truss were calculated and deriving the load as point load on the nodal point of the truss. Now the method applied to find the internal forces in the members which is caused due to external loading is graphical method. The internal force is axial and it is either compression or tension. The whole analysis was compared with the Staad software.
