Abstract
AbstractProcedures are derived in this paper for defining fully stressed statically indeterminate trusses under a single loading condition for the particular case where redundant supporting members are added to a determinate truss. If the orientations of the redundant members are prescribed, their length can be computed easily from the fully stressed conditions. The cross‐sectional areas of truss in fully stressed configuration (FSC) are not unique. The minimum weight FSC can be determined with use of linear programming. Several examples are included to illustrate the general formulation.
