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.
