Truss Work Point (EBF)
Truss Work Point (EBF)
(OP)
Has anyone ever designed built-up truss with an offset at the nodes where the diagonals and verticals meet at the chords? I have an 80' truss on a 6:12 slope built with double angles for diagonals/verticals and WT's for chords. The work point does not align at the member centerlines because of geometry restraints. To simplify the fabrication I want to eliminate adding gusset plates. My connection now resembles an EBF with induced moments. If I save on fabrication cost by increasing the chord size and eliminating the addition of welded plates, does anyone see a problem with that?
TIA

That is the first time I've ever seen this happen around here! I'm just glad the original poster didn't say anything nasty about the EOR!

What's to be said that is nasty? Are we not professional or do we alter our egos when entering chat rooms? Am I the only EOR around here?
