Description：
A rectangular truss is a structural framework made up of straight members (usually bars or beams) connected at their ends to form a rigid geometric shape resembling a rectangle. Trusses are commonly used in engineering and architecture to support and distribute loads across a span, such as bridges, roofs, cranes, and various other structures.
What is the purpose of using rectangular truss?
The primary purpose of a truss is to efficiently manage and transfer loads, such as the weight of the structure itself, the materials it supports, and external forces like wind and snow loads. By distributing these loads along the individual members of the truss, it can provide stability and strength without using excessive material.
In a rectangular truss, the members that make up the top and bottom chords (the longer sides of the rectangle) are typically under tension, while the vertical members (web members) connecting
