1. A tension member has a span of 10m and carries a tensile load of 1050KN. The
member is to have two lines of rivets in each flange for the 20mm rivets with standard
diameter of 21mm of hole dimension with at least 3 rivets in a line. Use an A36 steel
W section Neglect weight of member Fy= 248MPa, Fu=400MPa.
2. Design a W section for member CD of the truss shown in the figure. Use a 36 steel
and assume there are two lines of three 18 mm bolts in each flange. Assume diameter
of bolt hole = 20 mm. neglect weight of section.
A 36 Steel:
Fy = 248 MPa
Fu = 400 MPa
3. Select a W section to serve as a purlin between roof trusses 5.5m on centers. The roof
is assumed to support a dead load of 980N/m2 of roof surface including its weight and
snow load of 960N/m2 horizontal roof surface projection. The slope of the roof truss is
1 vertically and 2 horizontally and the purlins are to be spaced 1.8m. on centers. Use
A 36 steel with Fy = 248MPa. Assume load pass through the center of gravity of the
section. Sag rods are to be placed at the middle thirds between trusses.
