Use LRFD and design the tension members of the roof truss shown. Use double-angles shapes
throughout and assume 10mm-thick gusset plates and welded connections. Assume a shear lag factor of
U = 0.80. The trusses are spaced at 9 m. Use A36 steel and design for the following loads:
Use A36 steel and design sag rods for the truss. Assume that, once attached, the metal deck will
provided lateral support for the purlins; therefore, the sag rod need to be designed for the purlin weight
only.
