b.) Find the internal force in all truss members. label tension and compression for all members!
Transcribed Image Text:### Truss Structure Analysis Diagram
This diagram represents a truss structure subjected to external loads and fixed supports. The truss is composed of multiple members connecting at various joints, forming a stable framework.
#### Description
- **Points and Dimensions:**
- **A, B, C, D, E, F:** Connective joints
- The distance between points \( A \) and \( E \) is 1.25 meters.
- The height from point \( A \) to point \( B \) is 1.5 meters.
- The horizontal distance from point \( D \) to point \( E \) is 1 meter.
- The vertical distance from point \( B \) to point \( C \) is 0.75 meters.
- The angle at point \( C \) forms a 90-degree right angle with the members connected.
- **Applied Loads:**
- A 6 kN (kilonewtons) force is applied vertically downward at point \( B \).
- A 12 kN force is applied vertically downward at point \( C \).
- A 10 kN force is applied vertically downward at point \( D \).
- **Supports:**
- Points \( A \), \( E \), and \( F \) are supported on the ground, indicating fixed or pinned support, providing stability to the structure.
The truss design ensures that each member handles specific forces, whether in tension or compression, maintaining equilibrium throughout the structure. The proper analysis of such truss structures is essential in civil and structural engineering to ensure safety and functionality.
