Influence Lines for Trusses;

Introduction;
the variation of forces in truss members due to moving loads is of great
importance. Influence lines may be drawn and used for making force calculations,
or they may be sketched roughly without computing the values of the ordinates
and used only for placing the moving loads to cause maximum or minimum forces.
The procedure used for preparing influence lines for trusses is closely related
to the one used for beams.
EX. For the Howe bridge truss shown, draw the influence lines for the stresses in
members L2L3 , L 2U3 and U2U3 .
