Question:
The form supports a 6-kN vertical load at C. The bars ABC and 'DEF are horizontal.
Determine the reaction on the frame at A and D.
Truss :
A truss is a combination of elements or members to develop a bigger structure that can sustain the desirable external load .
Example- a roof, a bridge , etc .It must be designed for suitable life and therefore of suitable material.
