14 Terminology and nomenclature 14 Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Peter Rice: Centre Pompidou, Paris, 1977

15 Terminology and nomenclature 15 Members: Top chord / horizontal member Depth or Rise Post / vertical member Diagonal / diagonal member 2m Bottom chord / horizontal member 2m 8m 2m Node / Joint Column

16 Terminology and nomenclature 16 - All connections are pin joints - All elements are straight - Loads only apply on nodes - Only axial forces occur - Trusses consist out of stabilizing triangles Assumptions

17 Terminology and nomenclature 17 Trussed beam Trussed frame Cantilever truss Transfer truss
