Learning Objective:
Upon completion of this course,
students should be able to calculate
reaction at the support of the truss.

Example 1
Calculate reaction for the truss shown below.
30KN

B
C

10 m

5m

SOLUTION.

1. Assume direction of reaction


C

10 m

D
HA

5m

VA

VD

30KN

Solution.
2. Calculate reaction for support A and D by
taking moment at joint A or D.
C

30KN

Taking moment at D
MD = 0
VA (5) - 30 (10) = 0
VA = 300 / 5
= 60 KN
FY = 0

10 m

VA
D

HA

VA

VD = 0
VD = - 60 KN

FX = 0

5m

VD

HA - 30 = 0
HA = 30 KN

Solution.
3. Apply actual direction of reaction at support
A and D
C

30KN

10 m

HA = 30KN

D
A

5m

VA = 60KN

VD = 60KN
