A variety of structural supports exist to mount signs along highways. One type of support is a truss that spans the width of the highway that allows for the placement of overhead signs. These trusses are subject primarily to wind and gravity loads. The connections between the chords and the diagonals are typical fillet welded. Fillet welds are a fa
