I have been given an assignment to design a cantilever steel truss bridge of 35 meter span. I have analyzed the model in SAP 2000. I am bit confused and want to know the basic transferring mechanism of forces in such structure.Point that is pinching in my head is that: " TRUSS members only transfer axial forces at joints,no moment." then how a cantilever truss bridge will transfer bending forces to its foundation ??
how fixed support will act in such case?
How members of truss will t
