Roof Truss Experiment Lab Report

In class wednesday 11 26 08 overview a three dimensional truss is tested under transverse loading and the load deflection characteristics and the internal bar member strains are measured.

Roof truss experiment lab report.

Roof trusses are frames made up of timber that is nailed. A truss is a common and basic design in bridge structures. For this purpose two of the four aluminum made trusses namely warren truss and pratt truss are analyzed first experimentally and than theoretically. The application of truss also can be apply in the roof construction.

You will choose one of the strain gages and use the p 3500 strain indicator to measure the strain. Academia edu is a platform for academics to share research papers. Introduction the purpose of this lab report is to analyze how accurate the theoretical analyses of different trusses are. Set loads were applied to the structure and used to determine the axial forces in various members of the truss throughout the course of the experiment and.

Experiment 3 roof truss 2. Truss structures lab report abstract this experiment involved the creation of a warren truss bridge in an attempt to experimentally validate the mathematical methods commonly used to theoretically evaluate structural stability and integrity. You will apply the load at the center of the truss as shown and record the strain. What you will do in the lab.
