Title Appendix B Worked Example: Design of a truss node with gusset 27 of 44 5 - 106 35 65 65 33 60 57 54 D D G 76 124 80 67,5 Figure B.21 Connection N1 – Sizes (in mm) and positioning 3.4.1. Connection N1 – Design forces With: N 1,Ed the normal tension force at an eccentricity of e N 1 , to the centre of gravity of the joint M 1,N,Ed the moment resulting from the eccentricity, M 1,N,Ed = e N1 N 1,Ed . We have for the gusset: N 1,g,Ed = 406,9 kN e N1 = 44,5 mm M 1,g,Ed = e N1 N 1,g,Ed = 18,11 kNm And for each angle: N 1,a,Ed = 203,45 kN M 1,a,Ed = 9,05 kNm 3.4.2. Connection N1 – Checking of angle Resistance of gross cross-section Longitudinal stress Assuming an uniform distribution of the load on the section, the longitudinal stress is: I v M A N 1,a 1,a,Ed 1,a 1,a,Ed i   
