A bridge truss is subjected to a standard highway load at the bottom chord. The highway load consists of a uniformly distributed load of 9.35 kN/m and a concentrated load of 116 kN. Angle = 60 S = 4 m. L1 = 16 m. L2 = 8 m. L2=8m S=4m 4 m B 4 m 4m D C L=16 For the computation of design force, apply the moving concentrated load at the truss joint only. Find the maximum vertical reaction at A due to the highway load. 2 What is the maximum ordinate of the influence line for the force developed in member JK? 3 Determine the maximum force (kN) that can be developed in member JK due to the highway load.
