In this video we'll take a detailed look at trusses. Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints which can be approximated to pinned connections.
It is typically assumed that loads are applied to the joints of the truss, not directly to the members. Because of this, the members only carry axial forces - they do not carry bending moments. The internal force in each member is constant, and a member can be either in tension or in compression.
