This document provides an overview of a student's thesis on analyzing the variation of joint forces in steel truss bridges. The objectives are to understand steel truss bridge components and design, perform influence line analysis using STAAD-Pro software, and study joint force variations. The scope will involve designing a simple span parallel chord Warren truss bridge superstructure to AASHTO standards with HS20-24 live loading. Implementation will include modeling the bridge in STAAD-Pro and analyzing joints. The document also covers characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and components of steel truss bridges.
