A truss is an arrangement of structural members that are connected together to form a rigid framework. In most trusses, members are arranged in interconnected triangles.

A truss is also a medical term for a male hernia support.

In bridges or general structures the simplest idea of a truss is a structure that normally contains a series of beams forming triangles forming a support. A truss will provide many times more strength than just using the same materials bolted together. Goggle roof truss to get a good picture of one use of a truss.

Truss, a structure formed by connecting rods with hinges at both ends. The truss is composed of straight rods and generally has a planar or spatial structure with triangular elements. The truss rods mainly bear axial tension or pressure, so that they can make full use of the strength of the material. When the span is large, the material can be saved compared to the solid web beam, and the weight and weight are reduced. Increase stiffness.

The truss is a widely used rod structure. The advantage is that the rods mainly bear tension or pressure, which can fully exert the role of materials, save materials, and reduce the weight of the structure. Commonly used are steel truss, reinforced concrete truss, prestressed concrete truss, wood truss, steel and wood combined truss, steel and concrete combined truss.
