It is a structural framework (steel trusses) consisting of a group of longitudinal elements (such as angles, pipes, or square sections) connected to each other at points called nodes.
Metal structures (trusses)
It is a structural framework (steel trusses) consisting of a series of longitudinal elements (such as angles, pipes, or square sections) connected to each other at points called nodes. The truss system is based on the formation of geometric triangles, as the triangle is the only shape that does not change shape with the least possible weight of steel, thus providing very high strength.
Advantages of using trusses
Long spans: (allowing for covering vast areas, such as factories and warehouses) without the need for internal columns that impede movement.
• Lightweight: Compared to concrete, trusses are much lighter, reducing loads on foundations and soil.
• Fast execution: Parts are manufactured in the factory and quickly assembled on-site using bolts or welding.
• Cost savings: Savings in the amount of steel used compared to conventional solid beams when covering the same area.
