The heel height of a house truss refers to the vertical distance from the bottom chord to the top chord at the truss's heel joint. It is crucial for determining the truss's overall height, load distribution, and the roof pitch. A taller heel height can accommodate additional insulation, ventilation, and design features while ensuring the structural integrity of the roof system. Proper heel height is essential for meeting building codes and achieving efficient energy performance in a home.
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

Truss bridges are lighter than beam girder bridges. They take up more height but are strong and carry loadd in tension and compression rather than bending.

For experienced high heel wearers it is generally agreed that the highest heel that can be worn comfortably is between 5 and 5 ½ inches. This is assuming there is no platform sole and the heel is a stiletto, a high heel shoe with no platform sole is often referred to as "single sole". It should also be remembered that heel height for a particular shoe is approximate and is dependent on shoe size, for example a 5 inch heel will increase in height to 5 ½ usually if the shoe size is greater than E.U. size 41. This is to maintain proportion between length of the shoe and height of the heel.

Models, much like other individuals, come in all shapes and sizes. Models of exceptional height may want to wear shorter heels, while models of more modest height may desire a taller heel.
Yes, the metacentric height does vary with the angle of heel. As a vessel heels, the position of the center of buoyancy shifts, altering the metacenter's position relative to the center of gravity. This change affects the stability of the vessel, as a higher metacentric height generally indicates greater stability, while a lower height can lead to reduced stability at larger heel angles. Thus, understanding these dynamics is crucial for safe vessel operation.

The truss of the International Space Station (ISS) consists of a total of 15 segments, known as truss segments or modules. These segments provide structural support for the station and house various solar arrays and radiators. The truss system is integral to the ISS's ability to maintain its position and facilitate operations in space.
As far as i can tell there are 27 different types of truss bridges (i.e. Brown truss, Bowstring truss, Kingpost truss, Long truss, and Pratt truss). Hope this helps :D
