This document provides a summary of the structural analysis and member design for the truss of a PCEA church in Naivasha, Kenya. It was performed using Prokon software by structural engineer Beatrice Kung'u and checked by Eng. Mukui AK in September 2022. The truss is composed of square and rectangular hollow section members. The document lists each member by its connecting nodes, length, axial force, critical L/R ratio, selected cross section, calculated compressive stress and whether the design is acceptable. All members were found to satisfy the design criteria with safety factors above 1.
