Advantages Truss bridges have many advantages that make it more useful for everyday use. The truss bridge is very economical to build and uses very few resources. It uses light materials and small loads of timber or whatever it is being made of. It is also one of the stronger bridges that can be built. The trusses on top of the bridge make it very strong because the triangle shape takes away much of the pressure and spreads the pressure to the triangles and takes it away from the road part of the

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

long truss bridge. The goal of this project was to teach you how bridges are designed and built‚ and show the process of how bridges are designed and made in the real world by professional engineers. Bridges are used all over the world and it is a very important skill to know and understand how the physics of bridges work and why bridges are made how they are made‚ and that’s what this project is for. First‚ I had to come up with a possible design for the shape of the trusses for the bridge. Then

The very first bridges were made by nature itself‚ as simple as a log fallen across a stream or stones in the river. The first bridges made by humans were probably spans of cut wooden logs or planks and eventually stones‚ using a simple support and crossbeam arrangement. Some early Americans used trees or bamboo poles to cross small caverns or wells to get from one place to another. A common form of lashing sticks‚ logs‚ and branches together involved the use of long reeds or other harvested fibers

Institute of Technology | Planar Truss | Project 1 | Engineering Design III – E 231 – Section D – Group 7 | | 11/9/2010 | “I pledge my honor that I have abided by the Stevens Honor System.” | Abstract The planar truss was constructed according to the requirements of the E231 by attempting to support a large load. Three designs were constructed to fit the necessary requirements. The design with the largest strength to weight ratio was chosen. The truss was then constructed using square

Plane Trusses 1. A pin-jointed truss is loaded as shown in Figure 1. Without obtaining the reactions at the supports‚ determine the magnitude of the forces in members AB and BC and state whether they are in tension or compression. (Ans: Fbc = - 4.81 kN‚ Fab = 2.67 kN) [pic] 2. The truss frame hinged at A and supported by roller at G‚ is subjected to a force of 150 kN at D‚ and 60 kN at F as shown in Figure 2. a) Draw the free-body

Roof Truss Essay If I was building a 10 pitch roof I would use a roof truss rather than using a rafter. A roof truss is a rigid‚ strong frame work made up of wood members‚ such as 2” X 4”s‚ fastened and held together by metal connector plates. A roof truss consists of one or more triangular units constructed of straight pieces that are connected at the ends by joints. Personally roof trusses are superior due to its number of different designs‚ they are very strong‚ and lastly they are installed
