Question

The truss element can resist only

AXIAL FORCE
SURFACE FORCE
POINT LOAD
NONE​

Answer 1

Answer:

Axial force

Explanation:

Truss elements are special beam elements that can resist axial deformation only.

Answer 2

The truss element can resist only Axial force.

• A truss is a structure made of slender members which are joined with each other by pin joint.
• Firstly, as the joints are pin-joint, they are unable to transfer the moment.
• Moreover, a truss can only shoulder concentrated loads acting on its joints.
• If a load acts on the member, then the member will undergo bending.
• As the loads act only at the joints, the internal force in the truss members will be axial tension or axial compression. Axial force is the force acting in the axial direction.
