    1. The document details the design of steel truss members for the top chord, web members, and bottom chord. 2. For the top chord, a 2-L50x50x8 section is determined to be adequate to resist the required compression load of 125kN. 3. For the web members, a 2-L50x50x3 section is sufficient for the 25kN compression load and a L50x40x5 section can withstand the 22.3kN tension load. 4. A L65x50x10 section satisfies the 110.9kN tensile demand on the bottom chord.
