Students must analyse the truss manually using force method and set up an excel sheet to perform the calculation of the various terms required for the solution of the compatibility equations. The following load cases are to be analysed and report 1. Load case 1: Lateral loading shown acting on the structure (values from the specification sheet) 2. Load case 2: Temperature change in specific elements (from specification sheet). Ignore lateral load. 3. Load case 3: combination of Load case 1 + Load case 2
