What is a truss?
One: Definition of Truss
Truss is a kind of frame structure welded by steel, which has different components, namely main pipe and inclined pipe. Auxiliary pipes, etc. It is a kind of steel frame, which can reinforce the suspension to a certain extent. Not only that, it can also make full use of materials for you, and it can examine materials better than other objects in the case of large span, so it is very suitable for long-span load-bearing structures, such as satellite launch towers, crane racks, roof trusses and so on. However, when choosing its frame form, we should fully consider its inapplicability, such as its material, use and construction conditions. It is most useful if they are all within the range of satisfaction.
Second, the classification of truss
1, Tripod Truss: Tripod Truss is often used on the roof truss of tile roof, because the internal forces of chords are quite different and the material consumption is unreasonable, so it has been used here for a long time.
2. Trapezoidal truss: Compared with tripod truss, this kind of truss has better stress on members and has been used for bridges and trestles for a long time.
3. Polygonal truss: Polygonal truss is also called folding truss.
Its material is less than other types of trusses, so it is the longest used truss in engineering. 4. Open-web truss: The shape of open-web truss is mostly taken from the shape of polygonal truss. Its advantage is that there are fewer members at the joint, so its construction is very convenient.
After my introduction, now you know what a truss is! Truss is widely used in our daily life, which is not only practical but also convenient!
