 A truss is an assembly of linear members
connected together to form a triangle or
Simple Truss
triangles that convert all external forces into
axial compression or tension in its members

Objective is to find: Two methods

•Distribution of forces and moments
in different members 1. Method of Joints
2. Method of Sections
