design of cold formed steel trusses

[serdardundar]

I need some design examples and procedures about designing cold formed steel trusses (roof trusses to be specific).
Or i would be very happy if someone could mail me some design examples (a word document or a number of scanned pages or anything... ).

Do anyone know a web page or a book where i can find "design examples for cold formed steel trusses"...

I need detailed solutions, including gusset plate design. Also i want to learn if the gusset plate is checked for buckling (and of course how)...
Thanks for your help....
