A bridge truss is to be built as shown in Figure 3. From the analysis, internal member LM is subjected to a compressive design force of 112 kN. Check the adequacy of the member if a single angle section of 200 x 150 x 18L S275 is used. The long leg of the section is connected to a 12 mm thick gusset plate and diameter of bolts is 16mm.
