Strains in Trusses, Computed by Means of Diagrams: With Twenty Examples Drawn to Scale (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Strains in Trusses, Computed by Means of Diagrams: With Twenty Examples Drawn to Scale
When two forces act Simultaneously on the same point their tendency will be to move the point in a direction lying between the directions of the two forces, if these directions are different, and this tendency will have a magnitude bearing some relation to the magnitude of the forces. There will therefore be some single force whose tendency would be identical with that of the two forces, and this force is called the resultant of the two forces, which with reference to their resultant are called components.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book uses diagrams to explain the theory and method of calculating the tension and compression forces acting on the structural elements of trusses, which are used in the construction of roofs, bridges, and other structures. The author aims to make this complicated topic accessible to those with no prior knowledge of statics. He explains the principles of force and equilibrium, and uses the parallelogram of forces to derive the mathematical relationships between forces acting on a point, leading to the concept of the polygon of forces. This is then used to calculate the forces in the different members of a truss, ensuring its stability and strength. Through numerous examples, the author demonstrates how to apply this method to determine the strains on the individual pieces of a truss, caused by a steady load, and how to identify whether each piece is a strut or a tie. The book provides a valuable tool for understanding the behavior of trusses and for designing and building safe and efficient structures.
