The deflections were only recorded up to a load of 7 kN. Failure occurred at a load of 13.3 kN as the clinch connections failed, leading to buckling of the bottom chord and twisting of the top chord. Truss 10 consisted of 1.2 mm chords and 1.2 mm diagonal ties with only one clinch per connection. Further bracing was added to the test rig. Similar distortions to the flange were evident. The truss failed at an applied load of 9.9 kN due to clinch failure. From Table 4 it can be seen that the measured forces are very close to the yield force from the small-scale tests
