  2. Truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

    A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure. [ 1 ] In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [ 2 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Truss_Structure

    The S1 truss was launched on STS-112 in October 2002 and the P1 truss was launched on STS-113 in November 2002. Detailed design, test, and construction of the S1 and P1 structures were conducted by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) in Huntington Beach, CA. First parts were cut for the structure in 1996, and delivery of the first truss occurred in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_roof_truss

    Two king post trusses linked to support a roof. Key:1: ridge beam, 2: purlins, 3: common rafters. This is an example of a "double roof" with principal rafters and common rafters. A timber roof truss is a structural framework of timbers designed to bridge the space above a room and to provide support for a roof.

    The McDonnell Planetarium by Gyo Obata in St Louis, Missouri, USA, a concrete shell structure The 630 foot (192 m) high, stainless-clad (type 304) Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. A truss is a structure comprising members and connection points or nodes. When members are connected at nodes and forces are applied at nodes members can act in ...

  6. Structural system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_system

    The structural system of a high-rise building is designed to cope with vertical gravity loads as well as lateral loads caused by wind or seismic activity. The structural system consists only of the members designed to carry the loads, and all other members are referred to as non-structural.

  7. Space frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_frame

    The roof of this industrial building is supported by a space frame structure. If a force is applied to the blue node and the red bar were not present, the resultant effect on the structure would depend entirely on the blue node's bending rigidity, i.e. to its resistance (or lack thereof) to bending; however, with the red bar in place, then assuming negligible bending rigidity of the blue node ...
