The tension in he = 25,000 + 15,000+ 5000 = 45,000 object of the computations being to obtain the stresses so. Fig. 80—Shear Diagram for Truss with Even Number of Panels the members may be proportioned, the method above given offollowing the loads from joint to joint and obtaining the coefficientsfor uniformly and symmetrically loaded beams, or of obtainingthe shear at panel joints for unsymmetrically loaded beams, isadequate- and simple. It can be proven that a truss is merely a skeleton beam byfinding the shear and bending moment at each joint and then divid-ing the bending moment by the depth obtain the stresses in thechords, the web members carrying the shear. In Fig. 80 the en^reactions each equal 25,000 lbs. Then M, at / = 10 X 25,000 = 250,000 ft. lbs. M, at gf = 0, for the top chord rests on gh. M, at c = (20 X 25,000) - (10 x 10,000) = 40,000 ft. lbs. M, at e = 10 X 25,000 = 250,000 ft. lbs. GIRDERS AND TRUSSES 127 M,at& = (30x25,000)-(10x10,000+20x10,000) =4
