Vierendeel Concrete Truss
(OP)
What's a good book to read that deals with the design of a vierendeel concrete truss? Thanks.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Vierendeel Concrete Truss
I'm jealous of your assignment. One of my mentor's did a story high concrete vierendeel transfer girder for the local city hall back in the day. Bold and interestingly detailed. Not sure if it would still fly by modern seismic codes.
I'm guessing that your primary concerns will be:
1) Brutal opening and closing joints at all of the web/chord connections. We can certainly dig up plenty of information on that.
2) A reasonable assessment of joint stiffness.
3) Constructability.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
