Question: Problem # 1 - Force Method in Trusses [ 3 5 points ] Given: The internally indeterminate truss is supported by pin supports at A

Problem #1- Force Method in Trusses [35 points]
Given: The internally indeterminate truss is supported by pin supports at A and a roller at B. A 250 kN vertical load is applied at D and a 300 kN horizontal load is applied at C. The force in each truss member due to the primary loading is provided in the second diagram, where (T) indicates the member is in tension and (C) indicates the member is in compression. This primary load configuration is established by assuming the member BD is redundant. All member have identical sections with A=1800mm2 and E=200GPa.
Required: Use the force method to compute all support reactions and actual member forces indicating whether the member is in compression or tension.
