Yeah, I think that's another way of expressing it. I am trying to find the maximum design moment

Could you possibly explain the plastic analysis, based on the beam approach? :)

Hi Studiot, One end is pinned jointed, other on a roller. This project is only a couple weeks in duration, thus thermal expansion is not a necessity. My main concern is determining the design moment, so i am able to check if these members agree with the N* loading...

Hi, I have to design a steel structured truss footbridge. Im using beam anology to determine the correct member sizes. Having trouble determining the maximum design moment (M*) Here's what I have calculated thus far: Q=6kN/m G=1kN/m 50m long, 3m depth, 3.125m spacing Self Weight...
