Question: The truss below is designed to support a linearly increasing distributed load between joints B and C . Under this loading, joint C will obviously
The truss below is designed to support a linearly increasing distributed load between joints B and C Under this loading, joint C will obviously deflect downward. However, if we intentionally design member DE too long, then joint C will be initially propped upward. Determine how much longer we need to make member DE such that joint C will have zero deflection under load relative to joint A All members have and ksi.
The deflected shape is shown below if member DE is intentionally too long and no load is applied to the truss.
