À p16.6.1 Space Trusses
(|If a truss is not planar, but still has two force members (note ball joints at ends and no internal forces) we can use the methods of joints, or sections to determine forces.
16.6.2 Compound Trusses
(|Compound Trusses are made of smaller trusses.
We can do a complete analysis of these simpler trusses and combine the solutions for larger problems.
