The chord stresses may be checked or found by the method of moments,
precisely as in the case of Fig. 19. If, for instance, it is desired
to determine the stresses in the upper chord member _U₂_, moments must
be taken about the lower-chord panel-point 5, and about the upper-chord
panel-point _d_ for the lower-chord stress in _L₄_. Taking moments
about those points, results given in equations (31) and (32) will at
once follow, which it will be observed are identical with the values
previously found for the same members.

=93. Through- and Deck-Bridges.=—These simple trusses have all been
taken as belonging to the “through” type, i.e., the moving load passes
along their lower chords. It is quite common to have the moving load
pass along the upper chords, in which cases the bridges are said to be
“deck” structures. The general methods of computation are precisely
the same whether the trusses be deck or through. It is only necessary
carefully to observe that the application of the methods of analysis
depends upon the position of each panel-load as it passes across the
structure.
