Question: The structure shown in figure is a 2 - D , pin jointed truss supported on a pin at A and a roller at H

The structure shown in figure is a 2-D, pin jointed truss supported on a pin at A and a roller at H . The truss is
subject to ultimate limit state (factored) point loads. The self-weight of the truss is neglected. Determine the
adequacy of members AC and CE. The members are A36 steel (Fy=248MPa,Fu=400MPa ) angle
sections with equal legs. Detail of joint C is shown and assume edge distance to be 40 mm . Use standard hole
size and LRFD.
Given:
Bolt diameter =16mm
x=60mmy=50mmP1=30kNP2=70kNP3=60kNP4=50kNP5=20kN
The structure shown in figure is a 2 - D , pin
