I am trying to find a reference for the design of a steel truss with the type of connection shown in the attached picture. Thanks for the help.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

It would be interesting to model this, but keep in mind it was designed by hand with a slide rule, so if you try to "over think" the connections, it might not be a representative model!

Full agree with you. This type of roof truss is of rare use in modern buildings, however, it has stood with time and been proven for sheltering industrial buildings. Ironically, with the rapid advancement in computer technology, the over-thoughts may have just killed the simplicity of the good-old design.

You can see a section of the building in my other post titled Warhouse Renovation.
Thanks again.
