	Trimmable Open Web Floor Truss
		Trimmable open web trusses are similar in price to their open web and I joist counterparts.
		Bracing perpendicular to the truss may be required depending on the span and the manufacturer.
		Even the truss with steel members does not introduce new tool requirements, since connections for floor sheathing and to supporting structural members are through the wood members used on the top and bottom chords.

	Truss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since this is a symmetrical truss with symmetrical vertical loads, it is clear to see that the reactions at A and B are equal, vertical and half the total load.
		The effect of the weight of the individual truss members in a large truss, such as a bridge, is usually insignificant compared to the force of the external loads.
		A geodesic dome is a truss in the shape of a sphere.

	Truss bridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A truss bridge is a bridge composed of connected elements (typically straight) which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads.
		Bridges based on the Bollman truss (patented in 1852) were used successfully by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
		Truss bridges became a common type of bridge to see built from the 1870s through the 1930s.

	TRUSS CONCEPTS
		In reality, the members in a truss do see a small amount of bending and twisting, however these loads are small and the axial loads (tension or compression) are significant.
		Actually, a truss is made by connecting the ends of the members by welding, bolting, etc. The neutral axis of each member may only come close to intersecting at a center point.
		Trusses are used because they make very efficient use of the strength of the members.

	Adjusting Your Guitars Truss Rod - What is it? How do I check relief? How do I adjust the rod properly?
		Continuing to tighten a truss rod after the neck is dead flat serves no purpose as the instrument will simply buzz as the strings vibrate against the hump in the center of the board that has been created by backbowing the neck.
		A stripped or broken truss rod is the kiss of death for most inexpensive instruments and the repair of such is usually only considered on instruments of value.
		Depending on the instrument, some truss rods may be inlayed flush with the top of the neck, easily visible upon the boards removal or buried deeper and covered by a strip of wood.

	Bridge Types - Truss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Trusses are comprised of many small beams that together can support a large amount of weight and span great distances.
		The small size of individual parts of a truss make it the ideal bridge for places where large parts or sections cannot be shipped or where large cranes and heavy equipment cannot be used during erection.
		The Pratt truss (illustration #3) is identified by its diagonal members which, except for the very end ones, all slant down and in toward the center of the span.

		Although the engineering and construction of these truss bridges was probably not always the cause of their failure, there is no doubt that they were particularly vulnerable to floods, fire, and decay.
		The upper cross beams are supported by the trusses which transfer their load to the abutments at the ends of the trusses.
		The truss and the ends of the stringers simply rest on the beams which are attached to the abutments.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Trusses are composed of straight members connected at their ends by hinged connections to form a stable configuration.
		When loads are applied to a truss only at the joints, forces are transmitted only in the direction of each of its members.
		Trusses have a high strength to weight ratio and consequently are used in many structures, from bridges, to roof supports, to space stations.

	The Bollman Truss
		The Baltimore and Ohio and the Bollman Truss
		The term suspension truss is used for this kind of bridge, but it must be kept in mind that its action is very different from that of a truss bridge, though it appears very similar to the casual observer.
		Although this truss shares the disadvantages of the Bollman Truss as a bridge, it is a very good roof truss, and is still in common use.

		The typical bulkhead for a hexagonal truss segment is made from a single 12,000 lb (5,450 kg), 11 by 14 ft (3.4 by 4.3 m) piece of aluminum that is 4.5 in.
		The optical coatings minimize the thermal cycling on the truss and also enable astronauts to climb along the truss to construct the station and conduct experiments without their spacesuits freezing to the structure.
		The truss segments are not regular hexagons; the sides are not equal in length.

		But this spirited and wittily instructional little volume, which was a U.K. #1 bestseller, is not a grammar book, Truss insists; like a self-help volume, it "gives you permission to love punctuation." Her approach falls between the descriptive and prescriptive schools of grammar study, but is closer, perhaps, to the latter.
		A case in point: in her introduction, Truss states (rather presumptuously) on behalf of her fellow sticklers, "we got very worked up after 9/11 not because of Osama bin-Laden but because people on the radio kept saying "enormity" when they meant "magnitude", and we hate that".
		Truss reports that her passion for the topic intensified upon being invited to talk at the Apostrophe Protection Society to talk.

		The aluminum truss comes in a polished finish which makes it perfect for applications that require a finished look.
		This truss can be ordered in I-beam (prices not shown) triangle or square with 2,3,4,5 or 6-way corners and "T" pieces.
		The aluminum truss connects together using conical couplers to provide a nice smooth transition between connected pieces, easy and quick assembly, and also maintain overall rigidity especially at shear stress points.

	The Burr Truss
		Two kinds of bridges were in common use, the lattice truss and the trussed arch, of which there were as many varieties as there were builders.
		The association of a truss with an arch was not mere artistic choice.
		It was impossible to make the arch and the truss work together to share the load equally, so unless each of the two elements was alone capable of supporting the load, the bridge was subject to collapse, and many did so.
