simple truss

All chose a simple truss, though one group built enough to make a 3 towered tresle!

In mathematical terms, we have the following necessary condition for stability of a simple truss:

Research at Cornell has brought about a robot which can navigate a simple truss structure, adding and removing components as it goes.

The interior is really just a big rectangular room, with patterned walls of red, tan and black brick under a simple truss ceiling.

The majority of buildings have wooden roofs, generally of a simple truss, tie beam or king post form.

It is possible to convert a series of simple truss spans into a continuous truss.

The traditional diamond-shape bicycle frame, which utilizes two conjoined triangles, is an example of a simple truss.

The current structure is a simple truss bridge with plate girder approaches and a bascule lift allowing ships to pass.

For example, the northern approach to the Golden Gate Bridge was originally constructed as a series of five simple truss spans.

One of the simplest truss styles to implement, the king post consists of two angled supports leaning into a common vertical support.

This bridge still ranks as the longest span of any kind in Alaska and the third-longest simple truss bridge in North America.

The arcade consists of 5 sling braced oak trusses that span the central pool with the aisle cross-frame consisting of a simple truss.

The bridge is the 9th-longest (main span) simple truss and 9th-longest (main span) steel truss in the United States.

Because of the stability of this shape and the methods of analysis used to calculate the forces within it, a truss composed entirely of triangles is known as a simple truss.

Said to be the oldest and simplest truss, the oldest surviving roof truss in the world built between 548 and 565 is a king post truss in Saint Catherine's Monastery, Egypt.

A continuous truss bridge may use less material than a series of simple trusses because a continuous truss distributes live loads across all the spans; in a series of simple trusses, each truss must be capable of supporting the entire load.

However, a simple truss is often defined more restrictively by demanding that it can be constructed through successive addition of pairs of members, each connected to two existing joints and to each other to form a new joint, and this definition does not require a simple truss to comprise only triangles.
