    Prof Richard,
    Thanks for making the informative video.
    Approximate assessment was clearly defined, one point needs to understand, "Truss- beam interconvertibility is acceptable till the Shear is not high." Needs to understand the reason behind it, moreover what will be the behaviour under high shear values.
    Pl clarify through some lecture.

    • @firesun

      Calculations done here assume all deflections are due to bending. As the shear gets high and/or the truss gets deep the shear deformations start to become important and results become less accurate. You can test this by setting up simple truss and beam models and comparing results as you vary parameters.

    Awesome video. I have a question. When you estimate the stiffness of the beam you dont take into account the web members and that gives you around 25mm. but if you could somehow include the extra stiffness you would have a lesser deflection. Which moves further away from the right answer. What you can do to improve the estimation (just for fun). Would you include shear deformations in the beam? But how to estimate the shear area mmmmm. I really love structures 😂😂

    • @firesun
      @firesun  2 місяці тому +1

      To get a more accurate estimate you would need to approximate shear stiffness and deformations. However, by the time you do that you lose the benefit of an approximate method and might as well do a finite element model. Hence, this is just to give a first approximation so you can check results and get preliminary sizing / sanity check on your answers. You will find in some of the older textbooks more detailed and accurate methods, from when FEM was not readily available.

    How to estimate the deflection on typical roof truss
    (pin pin) with slopes (Not fixed height) ?

    • @firesun
      @firesun  2 роки тому +1

      It depends on what you are doing and how accurate you need the answer to be. You could approximate the behaviour as a beam with multiple sections to account for the slope (e.g. use principle of virtual work). However, as the geometry gets more complicated and you need reasonable answers it is best to just go to a simple truss model.

    • @goldonon

      "You could approximate the behaviour as a beam with multiple sections to account for the slope"
      Thank you for the answer
      It will be very helpful if you can give an example of this,
      I did not find such an example on UA-cam
      Thanks

    • @firesun
      @firesun  2 роки тому +1

      @@goldonon Use the principle of virtual work and integrate over multiple sections with each having a different stiffness. However, you are at the stage you shoudl probably just do a frame analysis,

    THANKS SO MUCH, PLEASE IS THERE ANY DESIGN CODE THAT SUPPORTS THISE METHOD?

    • @firesun
      @firesun  Рік тому

      Nope. Based on fundamental mechanics and structural analysis, rather than a code. However, most code guidelines follow such an analysis. Go find a structural engineer with grey hair and they will show you more useful techniques like this.

    Sr In the warehouse truss explaination , if the column is let say stiff of order of that required for miniumum slenderness criteria (not bulcky) and the truss is rigidly connected to column by welding then will column experience moment ??
    If yes ,very small ? Or high? (i dont think)
    If no , bcoz column not rigid enough?
    Please answer sir

    • @firesun
      @firesun  2 роки тому

      It will depend on the ratio of stiffness between the column and truss. If you have a braced frame you could even make a slotted connection on the bottom chord of the truss such that there would no moment. However, in most cases you will exert a moment, and likely of reasonable magnitude

    How many panels are allowed taking into account the depth ratio L/15

    • @firesun
      @firesun  2 роки тому

      There are not specific rules as this is a an approximate analysis. As the truss gets deeper and the verticals + horizontals have a bigger influence on deflections the results become less accurate.

    Hi, why the distance from the neutral axis is 1000?

    • @firesun
      @firesun  3 роки тому +1

      The depth of the truss/beam is 1m. When working about Ix the distance from the neutral axis is 1000/2 = 500. When taking sum of moments it is easier to take it about the top or bottom chord such that those forces cancel (zero lever arm), and then a lever arm of 1m is used.

      1 / sin(45 degrees). It is to convert the diagonal force to a vertical force for sum of forces at a node.

      UDL x span between nodes = 10kN/m x 1m = 10 kN (or half of this for the end bays)
