mushroom shaped bowstring roof truss is an efficient truss profile as it has a higher average truss depth and a lower ridge height that avoids unwieldy long webs at mid-span compared to a standard gable truss. The top chord pitch is steeper at the eaves to shed water more effectively.
A free-body diagram is constructed for each individual truss joint or a portion of a truss. The truss axial forces are algebraically solved to satisfy static equilibrium.
Analysis of Trusses by the Method of Joints • Dismember the truss and create a free body diagram for each member and pin. • The two forces exerted on each member are equal, have the same line of action, and opposite sense. • Forces exerted by a member on the pins or joints at its ends are directed along the
