CONNECTION OF

TRUSS MEMBERS
Truss diagonal web member connection: Welded Connection

Angle Bar: 65 x 65 x 8

Area = 976 mm2

I = 0.383

S = 8.39

r = 19.8

X or y = 19.2

Theoretical mass= 7.66kg.m

Maximum size of weld:

= 8 mm - 2 mm

=6 mm

Use E70, Fu=485

L1 = (0.707)(6)(0.3)( 485)

L1 = 147.12 mm

For computation of L2

 MA=0

F2 (65) = 157390 (19.2) - 40188.715(32.5)

F1 = 26431.23

L1 = (0.707)(6)(0.3)( 485)

L1 = 42.82 mm

For Checking

Total Length = 42.82 + 147.12 + 65

= 254.94 mm
