- It involves a configuration the combines strength and productivity. The designing uses SAE steel grades (essentially an amalgamation of carbon and alloy steels) which renders the framework strong yet complex. It ensures that any beam, strut or tie ends only undergo tensional or compressional forces.

How strong are bridges?
Triangels are the strongest shape so make a triple triangle design i aced it that way +++ The plank bridge is the weakest as it is just a simple beam with no central support or stiffening for the span. The other two can be designed to comparable strength for a given span, but work in somewhat different ways: the truss bridge acts as a beam stiffened by the truss frames, the arch transmits the forces from the centre to its abutments.
What are the disadvantages of the warren truss bridge?
advantages: economical, light, strong, uses short timbers, and can be built in a convenient area.disadvantages: takes up a lot of space and can sometimes become a distraction to drivers.
Why did the I-35 W bridge in Minneapolis collapse?
the i-35W bridge collapsed because there was to much structural stress on the bridge at the time, when the bridge collapsed it was rush hour time so there was to much weight on the bridge. ^^^NO! the bridge collapsed because the design was flawed. the gusset plate that failed was too thin for the loading. this was the engineers error, hence the lawsuit.
How does a truss bridge support a load?
Imagine two 900 triangles back to back with their bases horizontal making a straight line. The bases are half of the bridge; one of the two sides is supporting the weight of the bridge the other is anchored to a solid point. The weight of the bridge is pulling the apexes of the two back to back triangles downwards; these two vertical sides of the triangles are the supporting column at one end of the bridge. Now imagine a mirror image of what I have described and you will see a suspension bridge.
How much weight will a k-truss bridge usually hold?
To figer that out, well it is hard. you would have be a geart geomiter or bulider. some steel bridges are pritty old so yeh.
Why is a warren truss bridge used?
A Warren Truss Bridge is used to cross certain obstacles. The Warren Truss bridge is Constructed with equilateral triangles so, this relieves of Compression and Tension.
Is a pegram truss an arch bridge?
it is a hybrid between an arch bridge and truss bridge. so it is classified as an arch and truss
What is the definition of a Truss bridge?
Simply put, a truss bridge is just a bridge built by trusses. Trusses are structural frames composed of triangular pieces/joints. So basically a truss bridge is just many triangular structural frames as a support for the bridge.
Are their any disadvantages of a truss bridge?
=Yes there are dsiadvantages to a truss bridge, because for all we know all truss bridges are not strong as others are and we can or you can find that out by building your own truss bridge and put a coulpe of things on it to measure it to see if some are strong and some are not.=

How strong is theTruss bridge?
As strong as you make it... Basically a truss system is used when a beam cannot hold its load, so is one way of 'reinforcing' a beam (you could have more supporting colums or use cable stayed/suspension techniques). Its basically stronger than a beam, and 'weaker' than a suspension bridge, but to be honest it's basically as strong as you engineer it. Try searching truss bridge on wikipedia... there's lots of different types and I'm sure it'l have the info.
What bridge goes over the Mississippi River?
Several do. Please list a location so we can tell you a bridge.
What does an arch bridge do to be so strong?
because it poops
Why are there so many different types of bridges?
1. Suspension bridge2. Cable stayed bridge3. Arch bridge4. Stone masonry bridge5. skew slab bridge6. Void slab bridge7. Continous bridge8. Rigid frames9. Truss bridge10. Pre-stressed Bridge
How long is the average truss bridge?
The average length of a beam bridge is 40 meters to 500 meters. So it can only go up to 500 meters.
