A truss is a structural framework composed of individual members that are usually arranged in triangular configurations. Trusses are used in various engineering and architectural applications to support loads over a span. The triangulated design provides stability and strength, allowing trusses to efficiently distribute weight and withstand various forces, such as tension, compression, and bending. Trusses are commonly used in a variety of structures, including: - Bridges: Truss bridges utilize the triangular shapes to effectively manage heavy loads and long spans.
