For a pin jointed steel truss system, which of the following statements is TRUE?
-
- Bending moment resisting capacity at any section is zero as members carry axial forces only.
- Forces in members at any section align in appropriate combination of tension and compression to develop moment resisting capacity.
- Forces in members at any section align in such a manner as to develop zero moment resisting capacity.
- Shear resisting capacity at any section is zero as members carry axial forces only
Correct Option: B
Forces in members at any section align in appropriate combination of tension and compression to devel op moment resisting capacity.
