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
Each roof truss is structurally designed for a particular situation. Where a truss overhangs or extends beyond a supporting wall, so that the truss is partly cantilevered (e.g. in a deep eave), the calculations by the truss designer will take this into account.
In some dialects, "trust."
Truss can carry only vertical loads or axial loads. It depends upon structure. But Beams can carry vertical loads and moments
To a limited degree, yes. However, very strong tornadoes will destroy just about any structure they hit, including truss bridges.
A truss is the triangler wood frame work for a roof. Rafters are the singular peices of wood put between them That make up the begining of the celing
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.
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

In plane truss, both the truss structure and the applied loads lie in the same plane. In space truss, either the structure or the loads or both lie in different planes.

Yes
A chord truss that is parallel:)
No. A truss bridge is composed of trusses
it is a hybrid between an arch bridge and truss bridge. so it is classified as an arch and truss
