![]() This force could be resisted by a brace it does not have to be resisted by other branch members (Figure 1e, 1g and 1h). ![]() In X/cross connections, loads are transferred through the chord member and equilibrated on the other side of the chord. In a Y connection, the punching load is equilibrated by beam shear in the chord member (Figure 1d). In a K connection, the punching load from one branch member is essentially equilibrated (within 20%) by other branch members (Figure 1a and 1b). The type is based on the method of force transfer in the connection and not on the physical appearance of the connection. There are three types of truss connections-K (includes N connections), Y (includes T connections), and X (or cross). When designing truss connections, it is important to know which type of connection is present.
