Problem 3.(Midterm Exam, Fall 2015 & Spring 2017) For the truss shown below: (a) Compute the
horizontal deflection at joint D under the given loading, (b) Compute the horizontal deflection at joint D
under the given loading and a temperature increase of 50C for member BD only. Assume a coefficient of
thermal expansion, a=12.010-6mmC., Note: E.A. is constant for all bars., and (c) If the horizontal
displacement at Joint D is not to exceed 5.0 cm , what is the minimum required value of E.A. for part (a) and
part (b). Note: A and C are pinned and roller supports, respectively.
