A Pratt truss is a type of structural framework commonly used in bridges and buildings, characterized by its triangular shapes. It features diagonal members that slope towards the center of the truss, which effectively handles tensile forces, while the vertical members bear compressive forces. This design allows for efficient load distribution and is particularly effective for spanning long distances. The Pratt truss is known for its simplicity, strength, and economic use of materials.

What are Disadvantages of the Pratt truss bridge?
Well, honey, let me tell you - the Pratt truss bridge may be strong and reliable, but it ain't perfect. One disadvantage is that it requires more materials than some other bridge designs, which can drive up costs. Plus, those diagonal members can be a pain to maintain and inspect. But hey, no bridge is flawless, am I right?
