For the
25-bar truss shown below, determine the displacements and elemental stresses.
Nodes 7, 8, 9, and 10 are pin connections. Let E = 107
psi
and the A = 2.0 in2 for the first story and A = 1.0
in2
for the top story. Table 1 lists the coordinates for each node. Table 2 lists
the values and directions of the two loads cases applied to the 25-bar space
truss.
