Charts for checking the stability of compression members in trusses

The present report contains a set of charts developed for computing the fixity effect on a compression member in a truss through its adjacent members, the amount of fixity being considered variable with the particular total truss load. The use of the charts is illustrated on two- and three-bay systems, as well as on a triangular truss

Charts for checking the stability of plane systems of rods

Charts are presented for checking the stability of plane systems of rods, the use of the charts being illustrated by examples. It is also indicated how best to combine the individual members to form stable structures
