Temperature change:
• Truss members can change their length due to a change in
temperature.
• Thus, we determine the displacement of a selected truss joint due
to temperature change from Eqn 1,
1 ⋅ ∆ = ∑ nα ∆TL

Using sign convention of +ve numbers for tensile forces and –ve numbers
indicate compressive forces.

Real forces N
Applied load of 100 kN causes forces in members that can be calculated
using method of joints. Results are shown below.
