Double Chord RHS Trusses: Analytical Model
Abstract
An analytical method is proposed and a computer program developed to analyze double chord trusses comprised of rectangular hollow sections. Three types of local yield mechanisms are incorporated: 1 Plastic hinge formation; 2 member yielding due to plastic load limit; and 3 yielding of shear springs that model the connections. The analysis is carried out in an incremental manner. Overall failure of a truss is declared when either an overall …
