A truss element is subjected to a design tensile force N*t.
Assumptions:
- Category 1 element;
- Building located in coastal region of far North
Queensland;
- F17 stress grade; - Unseasoned sawn hardwood timber;
- Long term-imposed actions;
- Deflection is critical.
- Net cross-section: b = 64 mm, d = 260 mm;
- Element length L = 4000 mm;
- The maximum allowed axial deformation is L/400.
What is the maximum allowed tensile force N*t when considering
both serviceability and tensile capacity?
