A contractor has built a temporary truss structure to support the end of an existing bridge while the new

concrete abutments for the bridge are built.

This assignment is to analyze the bridge for the forces in the members of the temporary structure.

Draw the loading diagram of the temporary truss structure $($see below$).$

Determine the components in the Cable.

Determine the load in the Cable by summing moment using the loading diagram

Using the method of sections, determine the forces in $AC,CB,$ and $DB.$

Determine the remaining forces in $AB$ and $CD.$
