4443 N 9 loads at 500N each = 4500 N 4104 N

Cc = √(2π2E/Fy) = 119.8

for Top Chord: for Bot Chord:

max Axial Load P = 5,523.3 kN in Compression max Axial Loap P = 9,946 N in Tension
Le = 550 mm Le = 500 mm
kL/r = 55.78 < Cc kL/r = 50.71 < Cc
for Diagonal Members: for Vertical Members:
max Axial Load P = 2,436.0kN in Compression max Axial Loap P = 4, 782 N in Tension
Le = 660 mm Le = 1200 mm
kL/r = 113.59 < Cc kL/r = 206.54 > Cc
