Truss bridges are recognizable because of their numerous‚ relatively small interconnected triangles. This framework of triangles is used for is strength to withstand tension and compression forces. They are considered a light-weight yet a very stiff form of construction. At first they were built of wood‚ then with the discovery of welding they began to build then using iron‚ then steel. Occasionally‚ a combination of the materials may be used. There are actually 30 different kinds of truss bridges

CAREY FOSTER BRIDGE Introduction The Carey Foster bridge is an electrical circuit that can be used to measure very small resistances.

In this circuit‚ G is a galvanometer‚ E is a lead accumulator‚ and K1 and K are the galvanometer key and the battery key respectively. If the values of the resistances are adjusted so
