The variations of internal forces under different angles and spacings of the webs are simulated. The law of the optimal arrangement of the webs of the parallel-string simple-beam truss is obtained: under the condition that the rigidity of the rod is allowed, the form of no vertical web-type truss and reducing the span distance and inclination of the side span are advisable, which can save materials and reduce the weight as well. This method can be applied to the calculation of internal forces for arbitrary loads and truss forms.展开更多
