Synopsis

This book analyzes how to find the stresses in roof and other trusses under steady load, detailing a simple method to discover the forces acting on each part of the frame. It was first introduced by the author in a series of articles before being revised and expanded upon for this volume and contains additional problems and improved detail. The author's method, founded on principles of equilibrium, ensures accuracy, explains bending moments and moments of resistance, and discusses the weight of materials, allowable stresses, ties, struts, and beams. An accessible guide to graphical analysis for both designers and teachers, this book includes many external force diagrams and stress diagrams, providing a wealth of examples for the reader to follow. Particularly useful in designing scissor and hammer-beam trusses, it also addresses forces that are not applied at joints. The author's clear explanations of complex principles make this book an essential resource on the subject of roof trusses.
