Question: The truss shown below was built using W 1 4 5 3 steel with a service load P = 2 5 0 k N applied

The truss shown below was built using W1453 steel with a service load P=250kN applied at joint A.
Assume k=0.85 and use ASD and A36. Ignore weights of truss members.
a) Determine the degree of indeterminacy.
b) Calculate the internal forces of all compressive members in kN.
c) Find the allowable compressive strength in kN for members under compression.
d) Determine the adequacy (DC ratio) of all compressive member/s in the truss shown.
The truss shown below was built using W 1 4 5 3
