What is Overview of Truss Types and Designs about?

A truss is a structure comprising triangular units with straight members connected at joints. External forces act at the joints and create either tensile or compressive forces in the members. The basic types are pitched and parallel chord trusses. Notable truss types include the Pratt truss, which has vertical compression members and horizontal tension members, and the bowstring truss, which was used for arched bridges.
