Design of Steel Trusses to Eurocode 3

Posted on 6 December 20216 December 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

Many problems of long spanning in structural engineering can be resolved through the use of steel trusses. These days, long span structures are very popular– from sport arena roofs to auditorium galleries, airport terminals, railway stations etc….

Structural Aspects of Selecting Plane Steel Trusses

Posted on 16 August 202130 August 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

A truss is a triangulated assembly of interconnected elements, pinned at the nodes and typically having all external forces and reactions applied at the nodes (Figure 1). Trusses are extremely strong and a very cost-effective solution when compared to other structural options

Displacement of Trusses Using the Principle of Virtual Work

Posted on 20 May 20202 August 2021 by Omotoriogun Victor

The principle of virtual work sometimes known as the “unit-load” method was developed by John Bernoulli in 1717. It is a direct application of the principle of conservation of energy
