Okay so, imagine a basic truss that has a roller on the left side and a pin on the right. The pin on the right it angled at 30 degrees so instead of it sitting under the end perpendicular to the truss, its tilted by 30 degrees. Does tilting the support change the external reactions?Simon Bridge said:
It depends.CallumTheMan said:

Angling a pin support on a truss refers to changing the angle at which a pin is attached to a truss structure. This can affect the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the truss.
Angling a pin support on a truss is often done to distribute the load more evenly across the truss, or to accommodate for uneven weight distribution on the structure. This can help prevent overloading or uneven stress on the truss.
Yes, angling a pin support on a truss can change the structural integrity of the truss. The change in angle can affect the distribution of forces and may require additional support or reinforcement to maintain the stability of the truss.
Angling a pin support on a truss can either increase or decrease the overall strength, depending on the specific angle and placement of the pin. In some cases, angling a pin support may help evenly distribute weight and strengthen the truss, while in other cases it may create weak points or uneven stress on the structure.
Yes, there can be safety concerns with angling a pin support on a truss. It is important to carefully calculate and consider the effects of angling a pin support on the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the truss. Improper angling or inadequate reinforcement can potentially lead to structural failure and pose a safety hazard.
