What is difference between plane truss and space truss?
In plane truss, both the truss structure and the applied loads lie in the same plane. In space truss, either the structure or the loads or both lie in different planes.
What are 'deep stiffening trusses'?
A truss is a two dimensional structural lattice designed to provide a structural span. They use less material than a simple beam and are lighter. A horizontal truss consists of two horizontal members like beams, upper and lower, that define the depth of the truss, and internal members that form a lattice between these two beams. A stiffening truss is a truss designed to provide extra rigidity or stiffness. A deep truss has a large distance between the upper and lower members.
When is a truss called a rigid truss?
A truss is a structure consisting of straight members connected at their extremities only. The members being slender and unable to support lateral loads, all the loads must be applied at the joints; a truss may thus be assumed to consist of pins and two-force members.
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 k truss the best kind of truss bridge?

What is the difference between a truss and a beam?

What kind of framework is used to help support the construction of a sloped roof?
Most sloped roofs are supported by a purlin bracing system. A board the same size as or larger than that of the rafters is placed on edge perpendicular to the rafters and attached on the bottom side of the rafters. Legs are then placed under the purlin brace and with the top notched under the purlin and the bottom placed on and attached to the top of a wall, thus transferring the weight of the roof from the rafters to the top of the walls.

What is the difference between king post and queen post truss?
"The queenpost truss, sometimes queen post or queenspost, is similar to a king post truss in that the outer supports are angled towards the center of the structure. The primary difference is the horizontal extension at the center which relies on beam action to provide mechanical stability. This truss style is only suitable for relatively short spans" coveredbridgesite.com
What is vierendeel truss?
An open-frame N-truss without diagonal members, with rigid joints between the top and bottom chords and the verticals. Known also as open-frame truss or vierendeel truss.
