reinforcement and checking the web compression stress at each of the
design zones.
Consider the case of design zone 1-2. Figure 4.37 indicates
that the design live load shear could be taken either as 41.8 kips from
the live load case shown in Fig. 4.36a or as 36.8 kips from live load
case shown in Fig. 4.36b. In order to adequately select the design live
load shear, it is necessary to look at the respective free bodies for
each of the two loading cases. Figure 4.39a shows a free body for the
loading case shown in Fig. 7.36a.
As can be seen from Fig. 4.39a, the equil ibrium cond ition IF'V =
o yields the actual force that will be carried by vertical reinforcement
of the truss nS
y
as 41.8 - 24.6 - nS
y
= 0; therefore, nS
y
= 17.2 kips.
Figure 4.38b shows a free body zone 1-2 for the loading case shown in
Fig. 4.36b. Again, the equilibrium condition I:FV = 0 yields the
vertical force that is carried by the vertical reinforcer.1ent of the
the truss nS
y
In this case, nS
y
= 36.8 kips. Thus, the maximum design
live load shear force for the design zones 1-2 will be given by the
loading case shown in Fig. 4.36b. The overall design free body for the
design zone 1-2, including dead load effects, is shown in Fig. 4.40a.
Figures 4.40b, 4.41a, 4.41b, and 4.42 show the design free bodies for
zones 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6, respectively.
Table 4.13 shows the calculated unfactored and factored maximum
shears and respective moments for the five different design sections.
