A pin truss support
@BAretired sorry I didn't mention, thermal effect I calculeted manually without computer! You are right about modeling, so I change model on my PC, in one and is pin and in far end is roller, but i don't know if it will work as a roller in practise, if I constitute a roller support, with 4...- Nasreb

A pin truss support
@BAretired, @KootK, thnkyou very much for your replies. In my model I assume both ends pin support. Length from thermal effect (for L=34m span) is 1.63 cm, it means both columns will take that lateral movement (1.63/2=0.81cm per column)!!! from ULS all secstiona are ok, even from SLS all...- Nasreb

A pin truss support
@KootK, thank you for your reply. My span is L=34m, and in my model I didn't include thermal effect. So my question is should I provide slot holes in one end of the top chord, cause in my model top chord in both ends are pin support??? Thanks in advance- Nasreb

A pin truss support
Please can anyone help me regarding how to design a pin truss support!? I think that I should let the both ends of the top chord of the truss bare on a plate hard bolted (8xM27) to the top of the column and the bottom chord should not bear on the column at all, and only make a minimal connection...- Nasreb
