ion of the structure at a point where there are not more thanthree members (struts, braces, or chords). To find the strain in either one of these members take the moment aboutthe intersection of the other two as an axis of rotation. The sum of themoments of these members must be 0 if the structure… … Fig. 133. In the truss shown in Fig. 133 take a cross-section at ts, and determinethe strain in the three members cut by it, viz., CE, ED, and DF. LetX = force exerted in direction CE, Y = force exerted in direction DE,Z = force exerted in direction FD. For X take its moment about the intersection…
