How to Identify Tension Member, Compression Member and Zero Force Member in Truss

[@julianafeijo9221]

Amazing, thank you!

[@grahamhughes2025]

thank you Tonmoy, this has helped my inderstanding deepen without doing heaps of maths......I can work it out visually. Brilliant video...thanks

[@TonmoyMaity]

You're very welcome!

[@kunalbadgujar8628]

Great

[@ruben2302]

Thank you so much, i have been struggling with this for days. Very clear explenation, thanks.

[@TonmoyMaity]

Glad it helped!

[@fisenknan3981]

Very useful, Good TQ. Perhaps you can also include other common trusses

[@TonmoyMaity]

Definitely I'll try.

[@edwinlyakwipa7325]

I really enjoyed this kind of teaching its very smart and logical

[@TonmoyMaity]

Glad you like it

Excellent enlightening video Thank you so much Praiseworthy

Thank you Tonmoy!

Hi sir, still have confusion in finding compression/tension.. plz explain it sir...How do you identify its resolved away /towards the joint? What's about the resolving of inclined forces in horizontal direction?

[@TonmoyMaity]

Ok

[@av_naturasmr]

are beams considered tension member or compression member?

[@TonmoyMaity]

it's depend on the direction of applied force.

[@av_naturasmr]

@@TonmoyMaity so they're basically a flexural member?

বাড় খাওয়াচ্ছিস? 🙄

[@sanketadhikari9857]

Then what is the use of zero force member? Can we avoid it in truss?

[@TonmoyMaity]

Notice, if you remove those zero force member, the unsupported length of the compression member will increase i.e. it will buckle under a lighter load. To resist this you need a higher section which will cost your pocket. So, keep it. They are useful.

[@sanketadhikari9857]

@@TonmoyMaity so can I understand that it gives stiffness or in other words battening function/service to the compression member?

[@TonmoyMaity]

@@sanketadhikari9857 Exactly.

may i add ... zero force means zero net force
