| Abstract | A microcomputer interactive program is developed in BASIC language for the design of single angle web struts in truss. MICRO-FEAP, a general purpose finite element software package, is use d incorporated for structural analysis. The Australian code AS 1250-1981 is adopted in designing the chord and tension web members. The design method considers the eccentricities and outof-plane bending of the web members of the truss. The design of welded connection is provided for all joints of the truss. The pragram i s able to output the details of the joint connection by a plotter. A user ' s manual for this program is also included. |
