Assumptions for Design
 All members are connected at both ends by smooth
frictionless pins.
 All loads are applied at joints (member weight is
negligible)
 Centroids of all joint members coincide at the joint.
 All members are straight.
 All load conditions satisfy Hookeís law.
Classification of coplanar Truss
Simple Truss
Compound Truss
Stability of Compound Truss
Complex Truss
Determinacy
For plane truss
If b+r = 2j statically determinate
If b+r > 2j statically indeterminate
Where
b = number of bars
r = number of external support reaction
j = number of joints
Stability
For plane truss
If b+r < 2j unstable
The truss can be statically determinate or indeterminate (b+r >=2j)
but unstable in the following cases:
External Stability: truss is externally unstable if all of its
reactions are concurrent or parallel
Internal stability:
Internally stable Internally unstable
Internally unstable
Classify each of the truss as stable , unstable,
statically determinate or indeterminate.

STEPS FOR ANALYSIS
1. If the support reactions are not given, draw a FBD of the entire
truss and determine all the support reactions using the
equations of equilibrium.
2. Draw the free-body diagram of a joint with one or two unknowns.
Assume that all unknown member forces act in tension (pulling
the pin) unless you can determine by inspection that the forces
are compression loads.
3. Apply the scalar equations of equilibrium,  FX = 0 and
FY = 0, to determine the unknown(s). If the answer is
positive, then the assumed direction (tension) is correct, otherwise
it is in the opposite direction (compression).
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at each joint in succession until all the
required forces are determined.

Problem
Determine the force in each member
Zero Force Member
1- If a joint has only two non-colinear members and there is no
external load or support reaction at that joint, then those two
members are zero-force members
Zero Force Member
2- If three members form a truss joint for which two of the
members are collinear and there is no external load or reaction at
that joint, then the third non-collinear member is a zero force
member.
Example 2
Find Zero force member of the following truss
Method of Section
The Method of Section
1. Decide how you need to “cut” the truss. This is based on:
a) where you need to determine forces, and, b) where the total
number of unknowns does not exceed three (in general).
2. Decide which side of the cut truss will be easier to work with
(minimize the number of reactions you have to find).
3. If required, determine the necessary support reactions by
drawing the FBD of the entire truss and applying the EofE.
The Method of Section
STEPS FOR ANALYSIS
4. Draw the FBD of the selected part of the cut truss. We need to
indicate the unknown forces at the cut members. Initially we
assume all the members are in tension, as we did when using the
method of joints. Upon solving, if the answer is positive, the
member is in tension as per our assumption. If the answer is
negative, the member must be in compression. (Please note that you
can also assume forces to be either tension or compression by inspection as was
done in the previous example above.)
5. Apply the equations of equilibrium (EofE) to the selected cut
section of the truss to solve for the unknown member forces.
Please note that in most cases it is possible to write one equation
to solve for one unknown directly.

Support Reactions
Zero Force Member
1- If all but one of the members connected to a joint lie on the
same plane, and provided no external load act on the joint, then
the member not lying in the plane of the other members must
subjected to zero force.
Fz = 0 , FD = 0
Zero Force Member
2- If it has been determined that all but two of several members
connected at a joint support zero force, then the two remaining
members must also support zero force, provided they don’t lie a
long the same line and no external load act on the joint.
Fz = 0 , FB = 0
Fy = 0 , FD = 0
