A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements forming triangular units. The connected elements (typically straight) may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. The basic types of truss bridges shown in this article have simple designs which could be easily analyzed by 19th- and early 20th-century engineers. A truss bridge is economical to construct because it uses materials efficiently.
Design
The nature of a truss allows the analysis of the structure using a few assumptions and the application of Newton's laws of motion according to the branch of physics known as statics. For purposes of analysis, trusses are assumed to be pin jointed where the straight components meet. This assumption means that members of the truss (chords, verticals and diagonals) will act only in tension or compression. A more complex analysis is required where rigid joints impose significant bending loads upon the elements, as in a Vierendeel truss.

Understanding and Analysing Trusses
In this video we'll take a detailed look at trusses. Trusses are structures made of up slender members, connected at joints which can be approximated to pinned connections.
It is typically assumed that loads are applied to the joints of the truss, not directly to the members. Because of this, the members only carry axial forces - they do not carry bending moments. The internal force in each member is constant, and a member can be either in tension or in compression.
It is important for engineers to be able to determine the axial force in the members of a truss, so that they can be designed appropriately. In this video I cover the two main methods for doing this, which are the Method of Joints and the Method of Sections.
The Method of Joints involves applying the equilibrium equations to...

Truss structures are more common than you think. But why do we use them? Beams seem to work fine right, well yes but there is a catch! The trusses are mostly used in bridges, roofs of venues, some cars and many other places. But how do they work and what is their advantage over beams? In this video, we dive deeper on truss structures and the secret to their efficiency. The video is supplemented by a scaled experiment that practically shows the advantages of the truss.

The Method of Joints involves applying the equilibrium equations to solve the internal forces acting on every joint within the truss.
The Method of Sections involves creating an imaginary cut through the members of interest, and applying the equilibrium equations to the external and internal forces.

Truss structures are more common than you think. But why do we use them? Beams seem to work fine right, well yes but there is a catch! The trusses are mostly used in bridges, roofs of venues, some cars and many other places. But how do they work and what is their advantage over beams? In this video, we dive deeper on truss structures and the secret to their efficiency. The video is supplemented by a scaled experiment that practically shows the advantages of the truss.

I can't remember when you weren't there When I didn't care for anyone but you I swear, we've been through everything there is Can't imagine anything we've missed Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do Through the years, you've never let me down You turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you, through the years I've never been afraid, I've loved the life we've made And I'm so glad I've stayed, right here with you Through the years I can't remember what I used to do Who I trusted, who I listened to before I swear, you've taught me everything I know Can't imagine needing someone so But through the years it seems to me, I need you more and more Through the years, through all the good and bad I knew how much we had, I've always been so glad To be with you, through the years It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you Through the years Through the years, when everything went wrong Together we were strong, I know that I belong Right here with you, through the years I never had a doubt, we'd always work things out I've learned what love's about, by loving you Through the years Through the years, you've never let me down You've turned my life around, the sweetest days I've found I've found with you, through the years It's better every day, you've kissed my tears away As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you
