I’m a little confused about the Moment, in school they taugh that it was Force times direction (F x Cosine or Sine theta) so if you could differentiate that for me I’d be grateful. Do you do Free Body Diagrams where you show the forces acting on a body from x, y, and z? I’d love to see that. How come academia fails to explain things this way? THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!

Not sure if you read these, but I can't seem to find an engineer to help with a project. I just want a truss drawing with thickness of mild steel angle iron used for the web and chords, and of course, how many triangle webs need to be inside the truss. I want to use a parallel chord vaulted truss design spanning 40 feet. I am putting a roof between two shipping containers, and need a snow load capacity of 50 psf. The perlins (span between trusses, I think they are called perlins) will be 2/4 every 24 inches connected with U channel, and I hope to get away with fabricating 11 trusses total, so every 48 inches. I would happily pay for a drawing.

I want to build a lightweight trailer for my ultralight aircraft (350 lbs) , it has to be single axle and 24' long and be enclosed (arched covering). I was thinking about welding two lightweight trusses together as the main support instead of get a heavy rectangle or angle. They can't be very tall though, maybe 6" your calculation makes it 18" high and that would make the floor of the trailer too high. but two of them could be smaller maybe? what should I use, 1" square tube and flat bar maybe? I don't know if it's worth it.

Hi. Trusses are a lightweight solution at the expense of depth. Steel UC sections offer the opposite, a less deep solution at the expense of weight. If you have only 6" then you're limited to a UC section or Square hollow section.

As you described as a simply supported truss, it is subjected to the maximum moment of wL^2/8. The design max moment is located exactly at the center span. You considered the top and bottom chords at the center span as lone couple structural elements resisting the moment but strictly they are not. You disregarded the resistance to moment the diagonal member provides. This fact renders your entire design calculation inaccurate.
