Where are loads applied on a truss?
💡 Hint: Think about the connection points.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a theoretical truss where members are connected with adhesive rather than frictionless joints. Discuss how this could alter the static analysis of loads.
💡 Hint: Think about how sticky connections could change interactions.
If a truss has a misalignment in mentral connections causing two members to be slightly out of place, theorize the impact this may have on load distribution and member tension.
💡 Hint: Visualize how weight would shift in a real-world structure.
