Two parallel trusses are to be designed with the following panel geometry, span, and factored point loads using wide flange sections (W sections). The trusses are interconnected along both the top chord and bottom chord at each panel, thus bracing the chords from any buckling. Determine the three required member sizes for the top chord, the bottom chord, and the web members. Assume Fy=345 MPa.
