Steel Truss Structure
Trusses are triangulated steel assemblies made from slender members joined at nodes. Designed to carry loads primarily through axial tension and compression, they achieve long spans with remarkable efficiency and minimal material use. Their visual clarity also supports architectural expression.
Key Advantages:
- High stiffness-to-weight ratio enables very long spans
- Material-efficient solution for large open areas
- Performs exceptionally well under dynamic or repetitive loading
Typical Applications:
Bridges, airport hangars, sports arenas, and exhibition halls.
Also, trusses are lighter and better suited for very long spans; while portal frames are simpler and often faster to erect.
