Abstract
A Vierendeel or quadrangular truss is a hyperstatic frame composed of a series of rectangular or trapezoidal panels without diagonal members. The end connections of all members are rigid and designed to take moment. Although it is possible to analyze such trusses by any of the so-called “exact” methods, the labor involved is prohibitive in all except the simplest cases. The purpose of this paper is to present a practical and accurate method of determining the stresses in the Vierendeel type of trusses. This method is based upon the theory of virtual work and involves a re-arrangement of the standard equations to produce a workable solution.
