Deflection Formula for a Pratt Truss.—For approximate or working values of the deflection of any style of truss we may obtaina formula which is readily evaluated, providedwe may assume some average values for in-tensities of the tensile and compressive stresses.Thus for a Pratt truss, single… … Id Values of u Fig. 258. « for the number of panels, and obtain (referring to Fig. 258) For the Upper Chord 1 For the Lower Chord *«For the Web Tension Members *•For the Hip Struts ««For the Verticals pul 2^ ^ 8£^(« + 4)(«-2);= ^[«(«-2)+8]; • (5) * This elegant proposition in framed structures was…
