A pin-jointed plane truss shown in Figure Q1 is supported by a roller at point A and pinned at point G. Vertical point loads of 5 kN are acting downward at points B, C and D. As a structural engineer, you are responsible to check the stability and analyse all of the members in the truss. Q1 By using the appropriate method, check and elaborate the stability of the pin-jointed plane truss (a) (b) Determine all reactions at the supports (c) Determine the internal force of each member by using an appropriate method (d) Elaborate the stability of the plane truss if both supports at point A and G are supported by roller
