Truss bridges

Truss bridges are structures that use a framework of interconnected triangles made from straight structural elements, typically steel or wood. This triangular design efficiently distributes loads, such as the weight of the bridge and traffic, across the entire structure, providing strength and stability. The geometric arrangement ensures that forces are spread out evenly, minimizing bending and maximizing support. Truss bridges are commonly used for spans that require durability and strength, including railway and highway bridges. Their modular construction allows for easy assembly and adaptability to various lengths and environments.
