The first joist in 1923 was a Warren truss type, with top and bottom chords of round bars and a web formed from a single continuous bent bar. Various other types were developed, but problems also followed because each manufacturer had their own design and fabrication standards.

A continuous truss bridge is a truss bridge that extends without hinges or joints across three or more supports.

The staggered truss structural system consists of story-high steel trusses placed on alternating column lines on each floor so that the long axis of one truss is always between the trusses on the floor below. [4] The system staggers trusses on a 12’ module, meaning that on any given floor the trusses were 24’ apart. [2]
