Cantilevered Truss Design
Cantilevered Truss Design
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm about to design a cantilevered truss ( for the first time) as an openable curved roof with around 30m span, My question is:
- How could this act like a truss since its only one supported; there will be bending moments near the support. Am I right?
- What is the best idea for such a truss?. To be done as a space truss or regular Pratt truss?
- What is the Max allowable Deflection would be like for such a structure?
Guys your Help Would be much much appreciated :))))

this span is around 85 ft. the bottom chord is failing under bending near the support and huge deflection is occurring to the chords.

Its not going to be cantilevered anymore, I attached trusses in the transverse direction as main trusses.
Here is a sketch of what I did.
Please advice for any notes
Thank you
