Questions
#1 What files do we submit to Bb Learn for this assignment? If it is a singular Excel workbook, then are we to create the Memo sheet from scratch? If not, what other files are we to complete?
#2 When analyzing the strain values from the sensors, I noticed that a lot of them, including the largest ones, are negative. Does this imply that the strain is in compression? Are we to use these larger negative values in our calculations and disregard the negative sign?
#3 Which distribution factor are we supposed to use? Are we to use just one? Or do we calculate the weight of the truck three separate times for all three scenarios?
Responses
#1 – As in any work situation you are to submit what is required to address the problem. We left it more open. If it were me, I’d submit a single Excel sheet using what I’d learned from the other labs.
#2 – Think about the truss and how it bends. The bottom wants to stretch and the top wants to compress. Negative values indicate compression.
#3 – You are to look at the information provided and decide which lane the truck is in and thus which distribution factor is appropriate.
