Trusses are a common structural form that can be used in Bridges, buildings, stages and industrial equipment. Its main feature is that it is composed of many individual components, and there is a grid structure between the components, and each component only bears a part of the load or force. As a lightweight and high-strength structure, the truss is more flexible, economical and beautiful than the traditional wall structure.

The truss structure originated in the field of architecture and first appeared in France in the 18th century. Building engineers wanted to build larger, more magnificent buildings, but traditional wall structures were no longer enough, so they began experimenting with trusses.

The use of truss structure breaks through the traditional architectural thinking and no longer relies heavily on walls and columns to support the weight of the building. Instead, by transferring forces to the grid-like structure formed between the members, trusses are able to greatly reduce the weight of the building while maintaining structural stability.

Truss structure is widely used in various fields, such as Bridges, buildings, urban sculptures, station halls, etc., and you can see the figure of truss structure. Bridge truss is one of the representatives of truss structure, Bridges usually have to bear large traffic loads and natural loads, so the light weight and high strength characteristics of truss structure become the primary choice of bridge structure design.

In addition, the truss structure is also widely used in the stage, sports venues and other places. For example, in the opening ceremony of large-scale events such as the Olympic Games, it is often necessary to use large truss structures to build the stage and lift equipment to show a more spectacular and unique effect.

Although the truss structure has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages. Most notably, the truss structure will produce a large stress concentration phenomenon, so it needs careful design and calculation to ensure the reliability and safety of the truss structure.

In general, truss structure is a very important structural form, which has a wide range of applications in various fields. Although it has certain shortcomings, due to its lightweight and high strength characteristics, truss structure will continue to play an important role in various fields in the future, becoming a key choice for building structure design.
