Roof trusses are designed to counter the weight imposed on them. If your roof is completed tiled EC. and looks out of shape. I could be. Wrong design/ trusses too wide apart/ roofs 600mm apart tended to sag between/ the load bearing partition under truss higher than external walls. seen this before completely distorted the whole roof.
For a gable end to gable end installation on 16" spacing you would need 34 trusses, 2 of which would be the gables. If your roof-line has hip ends or will be incorporated into an existing structure there will be more trusses.
If you need to ask, you don't need to know !
They each have their place, but on the same style roof, trusses would be stronger.
The heel of the truss is the end of the truss that sets on the exterior wall. If you've been shopping for trusses, you've probably heard the term: " Energy Heel" An energy heel is taller than other heels to give you room for insulation, you will want to order your trusses with an energy heel if you plan on heating the strucure. Hope this helps
In England its is 'generally' 400mm (centres) but it depends on the live loads (wind) and dead loads (tiles etc. on the truss). Consult your local building regulations department or a structural engineer, architect etc.

You can use deflect in a sentace such as: When the ball is kicked my way, I do my best to deflect it to a teamate.
It is dependent on where you live, but roof trusses are available to purchase and be delivered to your house. Or you could pick up the trusses yourself if you prefer those means.
A lot.

If it is strong or thick enough, plastic can deflect bullets.

Busses rhymes with trusses. Let's use the word in a sentence: Since Mitch Longley didn't have a car, he was forced to take the busses.
Roof trusses are used to support the roof and to make certain that the weight of the roof is distributed equally across the building for maximum support.
