Are truss bridges strong for their weight?
Yes they are
What is the size of the truss bridge?
A truss bridges are designed using materials that are connected in a manner to be stressed under tension and/or compression. I truss system can be designed to be as long as necessary. Columns are also used in truss desins to reduce deflections.
Is the camelback bridge the same as the crescent truss bridge?
you can check this out link below- its about Truss Bridges
What makes Truss bridge stable?
Truss bridges are made up of triangles which are quite stable since all loads are carried mostly in tension/compression and not bending. Long members may not be stablebecause of buckling in compression, butt most truss designs will account for that.

What type of bridges were built using the truss design?
arch bridges
Why do you have truss bridges?
Truss bridges are lighter than beam girder bridges. They take up more height but are strong and carry loadd in tension and compression rather than bending.
