6.25. Select the lightest structural tee (WT) to serve as
the compression chord of a truss to carry 40 kips
dead load and 45 kips live load. In the plane of the
truss the chord is braced by adjoining web mem-
bers that frame in at 5-ft intervals. Perpendicular
to the plane of the truss, the chord is braced at 10 ft
by a system of lateral purlin supports. Use the
most economical of A992 or A572 Grade 65 steels
if Grade 65 costs 12% more than A992.
