Truss Displacement Calculation Guide by ina is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. Use the virtual work method and equilibrium equations to calculate the member forces in the truss due to an applied load. Begin by calculating the member forces at the supports, then calculate the internal forces in each member. 2. For redundant structures, calculate the displacement due to a unit load using the virtual work method. First calculate the member forces, then calculate the displacement. 3. Finally, calculate the internal forces in any remaining members using the calculated displacements
