They constitute a formidable problem in stress analysis capable of further exploita-tion in the laboratory…” In an attempt to better understand gusset plates, Whitmore conducted a test on a mock-up of a truss joint connection for a 295-ft truss that was constructed at quarter scale (see Figure 1).

Set , determine the force in each member, and indicate if the members are in tension or compression.Neglect the weight of the gusset plates and assume each joint is a pin.Solve the problem by assuming
Gusset Plate Stress 7a - ARC Structural

The specimen was a 1/4-scale model of a warren truss joint with double gusset plates. Strain gages were mounted on the gusset plates, and the data was used to plot stress trajectories.
