Question: Please use RISA - 2 D to develop a truss model for Problem 3 - 1 3 in your textbook ( page 1 2 8

Please use RISA-2D to develop a truss model for Problem 3-13 in your textbook (page 128). Please
prepare a report as outlined below to submit 2 weeks from this date (09/30/2024).
Use the following properties
a. Structural Steel, Grade 50 ksi So please use A572 Steel, Young's Modulus, E =29,000 ksi
b. Use a W10x30 for all members. Remember to reduce the self weight by modifying the
steel density from 490lbft3 to 0.00001lbft3
c. As with your homework, you'll need to distribute the uniform distributed load to the
joints using tributary width. Use the same values you chose in your homework.
d. Report the following
i. Reactions
ii. Member forces indicating tension or compression.
iii. Present a comparison of your homework results to the RISA-2D results.
Explain any differences.
The report should cover the following major points/sections -
Cover page with your name, name of the course, lab exercise number, date.
Summary of the exercise/results
Introduction = Purpose and Scope
Model and or problem description
Procedure to develop model and any relevant assumptions made by you
Results/Discussion
Conclusion
Please use RISA - 2 D to develop a truss model
