How to make a preliminary selection of member size

Reference no: EM13313771

The service loads on a steel truss member are PDL: 120 kips (tension), PLL =240 Kips (tension), PWL = 200 kips (tension/compression). Steel properties are Fy = 46 ksi, Fu = 58 Ksi. Using the tables in the AISC manual, make a preliminary selection of member size, using a HSS shape. Do not simple state a choice - state your logic step by step, quoting page numbers (AISC) for each step.
