What is a "truss"?

A truss is a framework of beams or structural members designed to support loads and create a stable shape in buildings and other constructions. Typically made from wood or metal, trusses are arranged in triangular patterns to distribute weight evenly and provide strength. They are commonly used in roofs, bridges, and floors, allowing for large open spaces without the need for many interior columns or supports. The design of a truss enables it to efficiently transfer loads to its supports, making it a popular choice in engineering and architecture. Properly constructed trusses are essential for ensuring the safety and durability of a structure.
