    1. The document presents calculations to check the compression and tension forces in critical members of a truss according to IS 800:2007. 2. It analyzes symmetrical rafter members and single angle strut members under axial loading. 3. For each member, it provides dimensions, material properties, and calculates stress ratios, design strengths, and factored forces to check adequacy in compression and tension.
