- Name: Course: Mechanics of Deformable Bodies Investigation and Design of Axially Loaded Structural Members Date: Term: A. Objective 1. To be able to determine internal axial load on structural members 2. To be able to design structural members with axial internal reactions B. General Instruction 1. Write your solution legibly in separate sheets of clean bond paper. 2. Box your final answer in your solution. C. Situation A truss structure is an assembly of straight structural members that form triangular panels. The assembly of triangular panels makes the truss establish a rigid configuration. In a truss structure, connections are theoretically assumed to act as smooth pin; therefore, it does not resist any moment or bending. Due to this magnificent behavior, truss members only resist axial forces in the design phase that could either be compressive or tensile.

A recent daytime crash (driver traveling westbound and striking a stationary roadway object) resulted in a fatality and a lawsuit alleging that the 100 km/h posted speed limit is an unsafe speed for the curves in question and was a major cause of the crash.
