Roof truss experiment lab report.

Cantilever truss lab report. Introduction the purpose of this lab report is to analyze how accurate the theoretical analyses of different trusses are. For this purpose two of the four aluminum made trusses namely warren truss and pratt truss are analyzed first experimentally and than theoretically. In short span 8 12 m roof trusses the member forces are smaller.

A truss is a common and basic design in bridge structures. The application of truss also can be apply in the roof construction. Force in redundant truss full report table. Set loads were applied to the structure and used to determine the axial forces in various members of the truss throughout the course of the experiment and.

You will choose one of the strain gages and use the p 3500 strain indicator to measure the strain. Truss bridge geometry materials common truss bridges are from steel. It is a compilation of straight members organized to transmit any load to entire structure zureick 51. The design of gussets is usually by rule of thumb.

Academia edu is a platform for academics to share research papers. Lab report for engineering lab 2. Civil engineering baa uploaded by. Truss structures lab report abstract this experiment involved the creation of a warren truss bridge in an attempt to experimentally validate the mathematical methods commonly used to theoretically evaluate structural stability and integrity.

You will apply the load at the center of the truss as shown and record the strain. 1 0 objective of the experiment 2 2 0 learning outcome 2 3 0 theory 2 4 0. In class wednesday 11 26 08 overview a three dimensional truss is tested under transverse loading and the load deflection characteristics and the internal bar member strains are measured. What you will do in the lab.

Roof trusses are frames made up of timber that is nailed. The truss in class session. Wednesday friday 11 19 21 08 laboratory report due. The thickness of the gusset is in the range of 8 mm to 12 mm in the case of roof trusses and it can be as high as 22 mm in the case of bridge trusses.
