A truss bridge uses trusses as the load bearing element of the bridge. Using statics physics, a truss bridge applies Newtonian motion to ensure that the load bearing elements do not go out of a tension/compression equilibrium.
it is a hybrid between an arch bridge and truss bridge. so it is classified as an arch and truss
