1.0 OBJECTIVE
The objective is to verify member forces obtain from experiment with tension
coefficient method.
There are many learning outcome that we can get from this laboratory test:
3.0 THEORY
Assume te force in the member is TAB (+ve tension) and length LAB
Definition of tension coefficient (t), tAB = TAB
LAB
Using statics, write the equation for each joint using the coordinate value and
solve for it. Convert it into force using:
1) Parking canopysH
2) Column-free spaces
5) Redundant integrity
6) Design freedom

PART 1:
2. The distance a=500mm was ensured and load hanger on D was placed.
4. The dynamometer readings was recorded for members S1, S2 and S3.
5. The selected load was putted on the hanger at D and has been recorded.
7. The theoretical mambers forces was calculated and has been recorded in
Table 1.
