Question: Use the Virtual Work method to analyze the following truss The left support is a roller and the right support is a pin. Top Chords

Use the Virtual Work method to analyze the following truss
The left support is a roller and the right support is a pin.
Top Chords are 1212's
Verticals are 1010's
Diagonals BG and DG
Diagonals AF, FG, GH, and HE
A1212=11.5inx11.5in=132.25in2,E=1,200ksi
A1010=9.5inx,9.5in=90.25in2,E=1,200ksi
ABG=ADG=1.49in2
AAF=AFG=AGH=AHE=1.77in2
E=1,200ksi
E=1,200ksi
E=29,000ksi
E=29,000ksi
Determine the vertical deflection at Point C due to the applied loads.
Determine the vertical deflection at Point C due to Members AF, FG, GH, HE, BG, and DG being subjected to a
temperature change of +120F and the remaining are subjected to a temperature change of +50F. No other
loads are applied.
a. The coefficient of thermal expansion for the diagonals and lower chords is 6.110-6F
b. The coefficient of thermal expansion for the top chords and verticals is 2.810-6F
Use the Virtual Work method to analyze the
