Design of Wooden Truss: Given

The document provides specifications for designing a wooden truss with a span of 12.2 meters and spacing of 2 meters. It calculates the weight and design load of the truss then solves for the reactions and stresses. It determines that 2x6 lumber can be used for the top and bottom chords and 2x4 lumber for the web members as the stresses are below the allowable values.

DESIGN OF WOODEN TRUSS

GIVEN : Span (L) = 12.20 mts.


Spacing (S) = 2.00 mts.
Pitch (H) = 1.97 mts.
Load (w) = 62.00 kg/m2
Axial stress (fa) = 57.00 kg/cm2

FIGURE : a
H = 1.97
X
Y= 1.35

b
L1= 4.27
L2= 6.70
L = 12.20

R1 R2

SOLVING FOR DIST. "X" : FOR BOTTOM CHORD :


X= (H x (1+ L2)) / SQRT(H2+ (1+ L2)2)
X= 2.15 mts. TRY : 2 x 6 COCO LUMBER
f 'a = B. C.
WEIGHT OF TRUSS : 2x6
WT = 2.45 + 1.20 L f 'a = 47.34 kg/cm2
WT = 19.49 kg/m2
f 'a < fa : OK !
TRIBUTARY AREA :
TRIB. AREA (T.A.) = (2 + L) x S FOR TOP CHORD :
TRIB. AREA (T.A.) = 28.40 m 2

TRY : 2 x 6 COCO LUMBER


DESIGN LOAD : f 'a = T.C.
DL = (WT + W) x T.A. 2x6
DL = 2,314.32 kg. f 'a = 46.57 kg/cm2

SOLVING FOR REACTION : f 'a < fa : OK !


R1 = R2
R1 = 1,157.16 kg.
THEREFORE :
SUM Moment @ a = 0 USE 2 x 6 FOR BOTH TOP
Bott.Chord (BC) = R1 x L1 AND BOTTOM CHORD AND
Y 2 x 4 FOR WEB MEMBER.
Bott.Chord (BC) = 3,664.67 kg.

SUM Moment @ b = 0
Top Chord (TC) = R1 x L2
X
Top Chord (TC) = 3,605.77 kg.
