We have been tasked with estimating the axial forces generated in the braces to transfer the unfactored live load. a. Guess which brace will have the largest axial compression. b. List the assumptions you make in order to perform approximate analysis of this segment of the frame. 1300 kN c. Use approximate analysis to find the axial force in each brace (magnitude and sense). d. Comment on why your guess in part (a) was or was not close to the solution in part (c).
