Wind Load Calculation for Steel Truss

The document provides calculations to determine the load carrying capacity of a truss structure. It calculates the wind load on the truss based on wind speed, surface area, and pressure coefficients. It then determines other loads like live and dead loads. The maximum wind pressure is -1.3407 KN/m^2. It also calculates the required bolt size and spacing to transfer a design compressive load of 95 KN from the truss to its base connection. The minimum bolt diameter is determined to be 24 mm.
