Figure 2: Howe truss. Dead Load Location: D; Dead Load Magnitude: 30N Live Load Location: E The members of the truss will be made out of aluminium with the horizontal and vertical members having a nominal length of 10 cm and the diagonal members having a nominal length of 14 cm , the cross-section dimensions of all members are the same. Task 1 Determine the reaction forces at the ends of your truss as a function of the dead and live loads. You may assume that the self-weight of the bridge is negligible. Task 2 Use Method of Joints to determine the force in each member as a function of the dead and live loads. Use Method of Sections to check your calculation based on Method of Joints for at least "one cut".
