    Introduction What is a Truss? A truss is a structure made up of triangular components forming a very ridged structure. A truss can take the force form one location and distribute it over the whole structure. Trusses have been around since the start of modern history and where originally made from stone and over time people discovered that iron and wood have great strength when used under tension and compression. The Importance of Trusses Before the industrial revolution almost all trusses in use

    Truss Bridge Physics 141 Robin Hoffmeister There is many reason that we need bridges in every day of our life‚ from sufficient means to pass over a roadway‚ waterway‚ railway‚ or other structure. You don’t even think about them because it takes no effort to get over them and they are just there for your use. So if you don’t think of them for everyday use I highly doubt that you would think of the physics that is involved in putting one together or the kind of force the bridge can actually

    Grabber: Truss bridges are a good creation because it helps with traveling since it is a sturdy and cheap efficient bridge to make. Define truss bridges and explain how they are different from other bridges: A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing super structure is composed of a truss‚ a structure of connected elements forming triangular units. The connected elements are typically straight. The truss bridge is different because it uses triangles‚ its way brought about in the 19th and 20th

    is a truss and how are trusses used in bridge design? Include the importance of triangular shapes in truss design. A truss is a formation produced by triangular components. The triangular units forming the truss are slim and straight in form. The truss bridges consist of a grouping of triangles. Trusses are used in bridge design to form a series of strong supports using triangles‚ and have the forces of tension and compression acting on them. The importance of triangular shapes in truss design is

    figured out the best way to built it we would test it ourselves. The Pratt truss was first developed in 1844 under patent of Thomas and Caleb Pratt. Since the 1840s through the early twentieth century‚ the Pratt has diagonals in tension‚ verticals in compression‚ except for the hip verticals immediately adjacent to the inclined end posts of the bridge. Pratt trusses were initially built as a combination wood and iron truss‚ but were soon constructed in iron only. The Pratt type successfully survived

    Bridge Design Process In order to begin we must start our design process with the first step. We have to identify the need. The scenario is that we need to connect two pieces of land or structure so that a car must be able to pass through it. In this project we are to design and construct a bridge for a matchbox car. The bridge must be made of balsa wood and glue only. It must support its own weight‚ the load of the matchbox car‚ and additional weights that will be added. Next we must
