Probabilistic Analysis and Optimization of Roof Trusses

The influence of gap between wooden members and displaced nail-plates in roof trusses is investigated by means of probabilistic calculations and structural optimization. The employed mechanical model, using the finite element method, captures the non-linear behaviour of the nail-plate joints. The j...
