**Understanding Trusses** - *Structural Mechanics*

**Trusses are made up of Joints and Members. Every member in a truss is:**

- ○ a Zero-Force Member.
- ○ in Tension.
- ○ in Compression.
- ○ a Two-Force Member.

**Explanation:**
- **Zero-Force Member:** Members that carry no tension or compression and are added to maintain the structural integrity of the truss.
- **Tension:** A force that stretches a member.
- **Compression:** A force that compresses or shortens a member.
- **Two-Force Member:** Members where the force is applied only at two points, typically at the ends.
