Question 1
What is the main characteristic of a truss?
- It can only carry compressive forces.
- It is composed of one-dimensional components.
- It is always a three-dimensional structure.
💡 Hint: Consider the definitions we discussed in class.
Question 2
True or False: A Howe truss design has its diagonals primarily in tension.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Remember the stress distribution of different truss types.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze a complex truss structure. Given specific loads at different joints, find the internal forces using the method of joints, detailing each step of your approach.
💡 Hint: Focus on one joint at a time and ensure all forces acting on it are accounted for.
Question 2
Design a simple truss for a small bridge with specified length and load capacity. Discuss the choice of truss type (like Pratt or Howe) based on material properties.
💡 Hint: Consider weight distribution and the load types usual in bridge applications.
