I would like to design a steel roof truss,with bottom and top chord to be double angles,but for the branches i would like to use solid rods(reinforcement bars,Grade 410 BS) how do i create a solid bar (reinforcement) in my truss so as to be designed as a truss member.
?
Hello Joseph,
Have you checked the wiki posted by Kris? Does that not solve your issue? In that case upload the file.
I know IS800 2007 (Indian code) design solid rods for sure. If you are looking for any other code, please let me know the exact code. I will check and let you know.
I did as instructed on wiki,i specified inner diameter to be zero,but when it comes to design by using Eurocode,the angle section of bottom and top code was not designed,the design was aborted,i dont know what is wrong?
