    This document provides a procedure for designing the top chord of a truss. It gives an example problem where the task is to design the top chord using two unequal leg angles with their long legs back to back straddling a 12mm gusset plate. The material is ASTM A36 steel. Given information includes a 17kN load transmitted to the top chord by purlins, a 30kN concentrated load, a 4000mm length between joints, an allowable stress of 140.8MPa, and other specifications.

    PROCEDURE IN DESIGNING TOP CHORD
    EXAMPLE
    Design the Top Chord of the truss shown, using 2 unequal leg angle
    long leg back to back straddling on 12mm gusset plate. Use ASTM A36
    steel, AISC Specs. and Fb=140.8 MPa. The 17kN load is the load
    transmitted by purlins to the top chord. K=1.0
    Given:
    C= 30 kN
    Lb= 4000mm
    Fb= 148.8 MPa
    K= 1.0
    Fy= 248 MPa
