ROOF TRUSS

Roof Truss



Roof Truss

Introduction

The objective for this case is to gain practical experience of strain measurement using strain gauges and to determine experimentally the forces present in roof truss. This assignment further evaluates stresses and forces from experimental measurement of strain and the axial forces in members of the roof truss.

Methods

The behaviour of structures which depend upon prestress to attain their strength is non-linear, so anything other than a very simple cable has, until the 1990s, been very difficult to design. The most common way to design doubly curved fabric structures was to construct scale models of ...
