Question:

Calculate the required cross-sectional areas of the members comprising the truss bridge of Figure 12.14. Refer to Figure 12.17 for the forces and design for a factor of safety of N = 5.0. Assume steel members (SY = 36. ×106 lbf/in2, E = 29. × 106 lbf/in2) with square cross-sections, and consider buckling.
