Question: Problem 3 . 1 7 Use LRFD and design tension members of the truss loaded as shown in Figure below. Use double - angle shapes

Problem 3.17
Use LRFD and design tension members of the truss loaded as shown in Figure below. Use double-angle shapes throughout and assume 10mm thick gusset plates and welded connections. Assume a shear lag factor of U=0.80. The trusses are spaced at 9m. Use A36 steel and design for the following loads.
Metal deck: 192kPa of roof surface
Built-up roof: 576kPa of roof surface
Purlins: 144kPa of roof surface (estimated)
Snow: 960kPa of horizontal projection
Truss weight: 240kPa of horizontal projection (estimated)
