    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

    Truss bridge for a single-track railway, converted to pedestrian use and pipeline support. In this example the truss is a group of triangular units supporting the bridge. Typical detail of a steel truss, which is considered as a revolute joint Historical detail of a steel truss with an actual revolute joint

  3. Staggered truss system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggered_truss_system

    The staggered truss system is a type of structural steel framing used in high-rise buildings.The system consists of a series of story-high trusses spanning the total width between two rows of exterior columns and arranged in a staggered pattern on adjacent column lines. [1]

  4. Construction of the World Trade Center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_of_the_World...

    The tube-frame design required 40 percent less structural steel than conventional building designs. [97] The buildings used high-strength, load-bearing perimeter steel columns which acted as Vierendeel trusses. [98] [93] Although the columns themselves were lightweight, they were spaced closely together, forming a strong, rigid wall structure.

  5. 7 World Trade Center (1987–2001) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_World_Trade_Center_(1987...

    Transfer trusses used on the 5–7th floors to redistribute load to the foundation. The original 7 World Trade Center was a 47-story building, designed by Emery Roth & Sons, with a red granite facade. The building was 610 feet (190 m) tall, with a trapezoidal footprint that was 330 ft (100 m) long and 140 ft (43 m) wide.

  6. Truss bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_bridge

    In the 1920s and 1930s, Pennsylvania and several states continued to build steel truss bridges, using massive steel through-truss bridges for long spans. Other states, such as Michigan , used standard plan concrete girder and beam bridges, and only a limited number of truss bridges were built.

  7. Open web steel joist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_web_steel_joist

    Steel joists and Joist Girders being erected. In structural engineering, the open web steel joist (OWSJ) is a lightweight steel truss consisting, in the standard form, of parallel chords and a triangulated web system, proportioned to span between bearing points.

  8. Tube (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_(structure)

    John Hancock Center in Chicago, designed in 1965 and finished in 1969, is an example of the trussed tube structural design. In structural engineering, the tube is a system where, to resist lateral loads (wind, seismic, impact), a building is designed to act like a hollow cylinder, cantilevered perpendicular to the ground.

  9. Continuous truss bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_truss_bridge

    A continuous truss bridge is a truss bridge that extends without hinges or joints across three or more supports. A continuous truss bridge may use less material than a series of simple trusses because a continuous truss distributes live loads across all the spans; in a series of simple trusses, each truss must be capable of supporting the ...
