Computing axis forces of a construction

AI Thread Summary
To compute axis forces in a construction model, the node method is recommended as a starting point. The discussion includes a request for identifying zero-force members within the structure, which can simplify calculations. Participants encourage sharing specific work to identify where the individual is struggling. Clarifying which bars are zero-force can help in progressing with the calculations. Overall, collaboration and sharing detailed steps are emphasized for resolving the computation challenges.

Hi all, I'm trying to compute the axis forces in the construction I put to attachment. I already have computed the R forces, but I don't know where should I start computing the axis forces from, from which point.

Could please someone give me some advice?

Thank you very much,
best regards.

You could start by applying the node method at the top.
 
Thank you very much, Cyclovenom!

However, I'm still not able to finish the exercise. Could you please advise me which of the bars are zero-force? (I mean they have a zero axis force).

Thank you in advance.
 
Which members without doing the problem you think are zero force members?

Where are you stuck? maybe you can show your work and we can see why are you stuck.
