Q1. For the truss shown below and using virtual work method:
a. Determine the horizontal displacement of Node D if an 8-kN point load is horizontal ly
applied on the same point (Node D) toward the left side of the truss.
(50%)
b. Determine the horizontal displacement of Node D if the temperature of members AD and
DC increases by 50C. Ignore the applied load of Part (a) in this question.
(20%)
c. Determine the horizontal displacement of Node D if member AC is fabricated 20mm
shorter than the intended length by mistake. Ignore the applied load of Part (a) in this
question.

Assume that the area of each member is 200mm2(A=200mm2), the modulus of elasticity for
all members is 200GPa(E=200GPa), and the coefficient of thermal expansion () is 1210-6
(1C) for the members.
