Question: there is a timber ( MGP 1 0 , untreated pine ) roof truss spanning over a small residential building. The roof trusses are spaced

there is a timber (MGP10, untreated pine) roof truss spanning over a small residential building. The roof trusses are spaced at 900 mm. The roof pitch is 22.5. According to AS 1720.3 standard, the roof permanent and imposed loadings are 0.40 kPa, and 0.25 kPa, respectively. The ceiling permanent load is 0.12 kPa. The imposed concentrated load is also 1.1 kN. All cross-sections for the truss members are shown in the drawings. Further notes and assumptions are as follows:
Ignore the self-weight of timber members.
Ignore the truss cantilever.
All member-to-member connections are pinned.
The ceiling has no imposed load.
The imposed concentrated load only moves on the nodes of the top chord.
Considering a representative 2D truss:
4. The mechanical engineering team has informed you that for protecting the electrical and mechanical services the maximum deflection at the mid-span (top node) of the truss cannot be larger than 5 mm. Furthermore, close inspection of the truss has revealed that the middle member at the bottom chord is constructed 2 mm shorter than what is shown in the geometry. Does the truss satisfy this criterion under the load combination of the permanent load + imposed load + fabrication error? Use analysis in detail (truss and virtual loading) ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN FULL DETAIL WITH WORKING OUT USING VIRTUAL LOAD. PLEASE AMSWER WITH FULL CALCULATIONS
