Figure 1 shows a truss system for supporting an imposed load (IL) at the end of the triangular cantilever arm. The dead load of the triangular cantilever (DLC) is applied at the centroid (of the triangle) as shown in the figure. The total dead load of the tower of the truss system (excluding the cantilever arm) is transferred through the left (DLL) and right (DLR) legs to the foundations. The panel length L is equal to 3m. The values of the unfactored dead and imposed loads are: IL = 60KN DLC = 15kN ● DLL = DLR = 30kN Determine the maximum design vertical reactions on the left and right foundation for ULS using Eurocode. [Neglect the equivalent horizontal forces (EHF) in your design.] ● DLL L DLC DLR L Figure 1 [not to scale] IL
