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.

Why was post and lintel an important step in architecture?

The post and lintel or post and beam system enabled the construction of large buildings by enabling the support of the weight of larger roofs over void spaces or the weight of the structure over empty spaces for windows. It was the system used in Greek architecture. A large horizontal beam (the architrave) over a void space was supported by two vertical columns or posts. This supported the weight of the roof above the empty spaces for doors, window or a series of columns without wall as with the Greek temples.

How do you determine the mixing ratio of two pack paints in PC and marine paint?

First and foremost, identify the manufacturer and contact them for relevant MSDS information. I am assuming that if you do not have the formulation guidelines, that you do not have the safety information either. Two component paints typically contain reactive components (hazardous) so understand the risk and take appropriate precautions. The manufacturer should be able to provide both a MSDS as well as formulation recommendations.
