Truss systems

A truss system is a framework made of interconnected triangles, typically constructed from metal or wood. The triangular design efficiently distributes loads and forces, providing stability and strength to structures like bridges and roofs. Because of their geometric stability, trusses can span large distances without needing many support columns, making them both strong and economical. They work by transferring weight from the load to the supports through tension and compression in the individual members, ensuring the overall structure remains stable under various forces.
