Basic Roof Truss

• Evaluation of co-planar forces in the struts and tie of a basic roof truss
• Effect of changing tie bar length
• The apparatus consists of two rafter struts and a restraining tie mounted on a self contained, bench top base
• Both struts and tie incorporate linear, direct reading spring balances to measure forces
• Loading at the hinged apex by load hanger
• The tie length, and hence angle of truss, variable
• Struts and tie re-adjustable to original lengths
• An instruction manual for student and lecturer provided
• Set of weights
