This lecture focuses on the specific analysis of truss structures, covering topics such as isostatic structures, trellis configurations with vertical elements, and the determination of forces in bars under different loads. The instructor presents practical examples, including the direct analysis of lattices and the distribution of forces in diagonal and upright elements. Emphasis is placed on understanding the structural behavior of truss systems and applying analytical methods to solve engineering problems.
