Loads applied to the bottom chord include, concentrated loads from the hip jacks, PLF load
from the 32' common trusses, end jacks, and ceiling load. Top chord loads include, normal
roof load and, PLF from the end jacks. When reviewing the diagram below, red represents
live loads and green represents dead loads.
Same Girder Using Load
Transfer to Apply Loads
Assuming that this girder was created
as part of a layout, we can take
advantage of Load Transfer which is an
automatic process that applies
concentrated loads to the girder that
are derived from the reactions of the
supported trusses.
