Centered truss
A centered truss is a structural framework used in bridges, roofs, and buildings, characterized by a main horizontal beam supported by triangular units that form a stable shape. The "centered" aspect refers to the truss often having a symmetrical design with a central support or peak, distributing weight evenly across its structure. This design efficiently transfers loads from the top to the supports, minimizing bending and maximizing strength. Centered trusses are valued for their ability to span large distances with minimal material, providing durable support while maintaining an open space beneath.
