Trusses

 

Trusses are rigid structures composed of several straight members pin joined to each other. These are a series of triangular structures lying on the same plane. It can sustain static and dynamic load, without any relative motion or strength failure. It contains one end hinged and other end roller supported. Trusses are foundational members for building bridges, roofs and towers.
