    Capacity of Steel Girder Truss when you know the Tension and Compression Loads

    Attached is an example of a girder with tension and compression shown on the webs but not the end reactions. So the question is...what is the strength capacity of this girder in PLF?https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=f08ac55c-82f3-4ea6-aaa4-a5d901f605b0&file=TrussGirder.jpg
