TEST TITLE: Bridge Truss Experiment
NAME:
(refer to lab manual pp. 63-74)
1. Summary (1/12) (The summary should be succinct (limited to one page), but contain
the following four pieces of information, namely, the purpose of the experiment;
experimental methods; results; and conclusion.)
2. Calculations (8/12)
1. List the truss properties as follows.
TRUSS PROPERTIES
Truss Material
Young’s Modulus
psi
Member Cross-Sectional Area
sq. inches
Gage Factor
Test Loads:
P1 =
lb.
P2 = _______________ lb.
2. Using the analysis techniques that you learned from Statics or Mechanics of
Materials, determine forces and strains caused in the members, 1(AB), 3(BD),
5(CD), 7 (CE), 11(EG), by load P1 and P2 acting together.
3. Construct graphically the vector force polygon for joints C & E. The polygon
must close because the joint is in equilibrium.
4. Present the experimental data and the calculation results in the following
format.

5. Compare the above results with those determined experimentally.
3. Discussion (2/12)
1. How well do the analytical and experimental results compare? And What are
the reasons for the differences in the analytical and experimental values?
2. Does it appear that bending loads are present in any member? Why may this
occur?
4. Conclusion (1/12)

Objective: Use experiment to determine the strain and stress on selected
truss members and compare with the theoretical results.
Theoretical Analysis:
• Carry out force analysis to determine the internal forces (F) on specified
truss members.
????
• Determine stress: ???? = ????/???? where???? = ( )(???????????? -???????????? ).
????
• Determine strain: ???? = ????/????, where ???? = ???????? × ???????????? psi for aluminum.
Experiment:
The device to be used for measuring local strain is “strain gage”
ME220 : Materials Laboratory
What is strain gage and how does it work?
• Strain gage is essentially a conductor wire whose resistance changes with
elongation or strain.
• Strain gage is glued to the structure at the point of interest and thus
experiences the same strain as the structure.
• By establishing a correlation between resistance change and strain
experienced by the strain gage, i.e. calibration, strain of the structure can
be determined by the measured resistance change of strain gage and
calibration relation.
