Truss structures

A truss is a framework composed of interconnected triangular units made of straight elements, typically used in bridges, roofs, and buildings. These triangles distribute loads efficiently by transferring forces through tension and compression along the members, providing strength and stability while using minimal material. The geometric shape ensures that the structure remains rigid and resists deformation under various forces. Trusses are valued for their efficiency, durability, and ability to span large distances without excessive material or weight.
