DISCUSSION

Refer to table 4, the value in experimental internal force where a bit differs
with theoretical internal force value. Members 3,7 and 8 at load 50N has a big percentage of
error. Others member only has small percentage of error because the internal forces value
between theoretical and experimental not much different. It was because parallax the
equipment has no fully function correctly. Its maybe the devices were not well maintenance
and maybe also cause by environment in the lab. The device was sensitive with vibration and
wind. But the internal forces are not much different from theoretical value.
The percentage of error between experiment and theoretical by load 50N is
joint 1=6.86%, joint 2= 5.02%, joint 3=42.48%, joint 4=28.76% joint 5=0, joint 6=0 joint
7=41.22% and joint 8=58.03%. The percentage of error between experiment and theoretical
is joint 1=6.86%, joint 2=0.92%, joint 3=18.73%, joint 4=10.95% joint 5=0, joint 6=0 joint
7=16.04% and joint 8=24.44%. The percentage of error between experiment and theoretical
is joint 1=10.85%, joint 2=6.86%, joint 3=14.77%, joint 4=1.05% joint 5=0, joint 6=0 joint
7=4.85% and joint 8=10.45%. The percentage of error between experiment and theoretical is
joint 1=15.77%, joint 2=12.80%, joint 3=18.34%, joint 4=6.86% joint 5=0, joint 6=0 joint
7=4.95% and joint 8=0.75%. The percentage of error between experiment and theoretical is
joint 1=11.61%, joint 2=9.24%, joint 3=16.36%, joint 4=4.49% joint 5=0, joint 6=0 joint
7=4.11% and joint 8=0.75%. The percentage of error between experiment and theoretical is
joint 1, joint 2, joint 3, joint 4 joint 5, joint 6 joint 7 and joint 8.
There have positive and negative force with tensile and compression at all
members. Some structure is built with more than this minimum number of truss members.
Those structures may survive even when some of the members fails or deflection, because
their member forces depend on the relative stiffness of the members. In addition to the
equilibrium condition described. These can be economy for structure.
Failure occurs when the load (L) affect the ability (R) of the structure, and
can be derived by considering the probability density functions of R and L. along with their
random variables the main goals for the safety of the structure is to guarantee an R>L
scenario throughout the design life of structure.

The structure will be failed if the loads are exceeding the ability. In this
experiment, the value and size are not same with real life but the application is too same, in
my knowledge the redundant frame are usable for aesthetic value sometimes.

CONCLUSION
In this experiment, we use few types of different load from 50N to 250N to evaluate to
evaluate the data from trusses. The most important of these criteria is the structure ability to
carry load safely. The calculation to evaluate of structural safety can only be done
mathematically and the experimental force data that we collected from digital reading and
compared with the theoretical force value that be done manually as we studied in analysis
structure module.

For the result there is some error between theoretical and experimental
result.
Some mistake when reading the value, this is parallax error. And the
equipment is not in a good condition and some equipment are not working. It would be
impractical, uneconomical, and unsafe for the structural engineer to evaluate a bridge and
trusses by building a full size prototype. When structure built, it must be stiff enough to carry
its prescribe loads and fully corrected when reading the value. There will be a small ralat
in every experiment and it cannot be avoided but any how we should prevent it so that it will
not affect the calculation or stiffness of the structure
We suggest making the maintenance for the equipment and exchanging the
damage tools. This is because we as a student cannot get the correct value for the experiment
and also make sure the environment in the laboratory are set up suitable for the experiment.
