Using the tension forces calculated in the previous step, select a member size for all truss tension Members (One member size that works for all truss members).
Calculations for the design of all tension members in the truss.
Diagram showing the truss and the member sizes selected for all of the truss members.
You may use any common structural shape.
Assume Ae = 0.75Ag
Using the forces previously calculated; design the compression members of the truss.
