DEFLECTIONS IN DETERMINATE TRUSSES

The Constructor

The basic difference in the behavior of a truss and a beam is that the truss comprises members that can sustain only axial forces but no bending moment or shear force which are the dominant forces in the beam. Truss members can thus transmit only axial forces (tensile and compressive forces).
