Truss joints are pinned together. and there are numerous diagonal and cross-bracing elements of narrower gauge than the main chords.

Thirty trusses of straw were provided per company when they took the field to thatch the huts of the washerwomen.

As at 15 June 2005, completed in 1897, the Victoria bridge is an early example of an Allan type timber truss road bridge, and in 1998 was in fair condition. As a timber truss road bridge, it has many associational links with important historical events, trends, and people, including the expansion of the road network and economic activity throughout NSW, and Percy Allan, the designer of this type of truss. Allan trusses were third in the five-stage design evolution of NSW timber truss bridges, and were a major improvement over the McDonald trusses which preceded them. Allan trusses were twenty per cent cheaper to build than McDonald trusses, could carry 50 per cent more load, and were easier to maintain.

The integrity of the Prince Alfred Bridges is excellent. The original cast iron piers and wrought iron trusses are clearly visible. Although the arrangement of the deck has changed over the years, it is still timber as it was originally. The footway added in the 1960s restricts views to the trusses from some viewing angles.

These were used for venting smoke to atmosphere from within the building. With the arrival of the diesel- electric locomotives, some of these chutes were removed or modified. Principal construction materials are brick with roof trusses supported on concrete columns. Timber beams and trusses with steel bracing and straps are also used in construction.

The connected highset timber school building with semi-enclosed stair and the Timber school building with timber floor trusses demonstrate two iterations of the Department of Public Work's standard designs: the first on concrete piers; and the second incorporating timber floor trusses for unimpeded play space. The building on trusses also retains clerestory lighting above its northern verandah roof. The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons. Schools have always played an important part in Queensland communities.

This was a result of issues with transporting longer trusses to the building site. Lilita Ozola, an engineer teaching at the Latvian University of Agriculture, suggested that for changing the trusses the entire design plan should have been revised and reapproved by authorities. With the two-piece trusses installed, the joint between them would bear most of the roof's weight. She pointed out that there is a video recording of the shopping centre's roof collapsing in which it is obvious that it failed at the exact position of the joints.

The symmetry of the building is reinforced by equally spaced segmental arch windows on both levels, and ridge ventilators at each end of the corrugated custom orb profile roof. Internally, the upper floor is dominated by Queen Post trusses which meet at the gable crossing with cruciform trusses. Along each end of the bottom chord are support rails with rope eyelets for suspension of tarpaulins. The original windlass is supported at the centre trusses for hoisting goods to and from the upper and lower levels through a timber trapdoor.

Interior of Ottawa VIA Rail Station including ticket desk A spiral ramp descends to an underground passageway to the far platforms Ottawa station is an international style building composed of exposed cantilevered Vierendeel trusses supported by massive concrete piers. This creates a spacious open plan interior with a powerful roofline. The station's walls are a non-loadbearing glass skin and extend through the open steel trusses to the roof deck. None of the interior walls extend above the lower chords of the trusses, allowing for an uninterrupted view of the roof structure.

When it was opened the Burnett Bridge was the fifth longest metal truss bridge in Australia. Of the others, all have been demolished or decommissioned. Although the trusses of the Burnett Bridge were almost identical to those of the Victoria Bridge, those of the Brisbane bridge had a wider roadway divided into two portions running between three trusses, whereas Burnett Bridge has only two trusses. Although the river had been bridged by the railway in 1891, the traffic bridge was viewed by the public as being of great importance for the continuing progress of Bundaberg.

The hall was renowned for its then-innovative application of reinforced concrete trusses, which was unique in Europe at the time.

At the survey in 1982 the house was recorded as retaining original floor beams and double-collared trusses, with queen posts.

The trusses of the West Milton Bridge were moved to its location, and now form part of a multi-use trail.

The timber posts supporting the trusses to the central wing demonstrate where the former stalls and timber partition walls were located.

A single-span wrought iron lattice bridge. The span is to the centre of bearings and the lattice work has seven triangulations. The bridge carries a single railway, with transomes on timber stringers on metal cross girders, which frame into the sides of the lower chords. The main trusses are through type lattice trusses, simply supported.

The Holmes Street Bridge is long and wide. The bridge has four spans over the river and two approach spans over land on either end. The load-bearing structure consists of three parallel Warren trusses, an unusual configuration as two parallel trusses were the norm. Neoclassical elements appear on the bridge piers, abutments, and parapet railings.

The bridge has an overhead clearance of . The bridge also spans the BNSF Railway tracks on its northwestern approaches, where the clearance is . The trusses are the defining feature of the bridge. Two through-trusses with eight panels on each side and one through-truss with six panels on each side form the body of the bridge.

The bridge consisted of thirteen boxed X-panel trusses with stabilizing iron turnbuckles. Vertical board and batten siding covered the X-panel trusses and was irregularly cut and remained unpainted. The bridge portals were covered with unpainted wooden clapboards, and the roof was covered with tin. The bridge was removed from the National Register on August 31, 1979.

The trusses include vertical iron roads, and are joined by a web of iron rods above to increase lateral stability. The road deck consists of planking laid perpendicular to the trusses. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, which extends a short way inside the portals. The bridge was built about 1865; its builder is not known.

The Garfield County Airport Hangar is significant as an unusual example of a log hangar. The hangar was built of local ponderosa pine by the Works Progress Administration in 1936. The hangar's gabled roof is supported sawn wood trusses spanning . The trusses are expressed on the outside and infilled with half-rounds of log, giving a half timbered effect.

A few two-lane bridges were built, having a third, central truss. Many different truss designs were used. One of the most popular designs was the Burr Truss, patented in 1817, which used an arch to bear the load, while the trusses kept the bridge rigid. Other designs included the King, Queen, Lattice, and Howe trusses.

In 1897–1898, the metal tube from 1860 was replaced by metal trusses, common at the time. To minimize traffic disruptions, the trusses were assembled around the tube, which permitted the tube to continue service to train traffic. The tube was then demolished. The stone piers from 1860, slightly altered in 1897, still testify to the excellent original engineering.

The upper structural dome sits on this ring. A grid of trusses inside the ring supports two helical structures of the ride and show system. Below the ring, a second dome is hung from the bottom, completing the spherical shape. The ring and trusses form a table-like structure which separates the upper dome from the lower.

The bridge is set on concrete abutments. The trusses are built primarily out of steel I-beams, which have been fastened together using bolts. A truss system supports a wooden road bed, and guard rails are bolted to the trusses. The bridge was built in 1939, following flooding that washed away the previous bridge at the site.

It had a portal clearance of just under . It had a concrete deck on steel stringers. The bridge was built in 1928, part of a state program that constructed about 1,600 bridges between the 1927 floods and 1930. This bridge's trusses were built by the American Bridge Company, then the nation's leading maker of steel bridge trusses.

An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

The roof trusses of riveted steel are exposed. The southern wall is constructed of timber and corrugated iron to enable further expansion.

All columns are placed on the exterior wall of the building and function as the flanges of the beam, while the trusses which span the total transverse width between columns function as the web of the cantilever beam. While earlier staggered truss systems utilized channels for web diagonals and verticals, today most of the trusses are designed with hollow structural sections (HSS) for vertical and diagonal members because they are more structurally efficient and easier to fabricate. The trusses are fabricated with camber to compensate for dead load and are transported to the site, stored and then erected—generally in one piece. Fabrication of this type of structure requires certified welders and overhead cranes capable of lifting 10 to 15-ton trusses and columns for projects up to 20 stories.

Lewisham viaduct over Long Cove Creek has state significance as the site of different railway underbridges which represent significant phases in the development of the NSW railways. At the time of its construction it was the largest bridge on the line; the subsequent use of the extant Whipple Trusses (on display on-site) was historically significant as it was one of only four bridges in NSW to employ such Trusses; the addition of the existing Warren Trusses to the north side of the viaduct dates from the 1926-27 sextuplication of the line. The viaduct with the Warren Trusses which has remained largely intact forms a significant landmark in the local area. The viaduct is also significant for its association with NSW Railways Engineer-in- Chief John Whitton and his successor George Cowdery.

Based on the Canadarm1, the larger Canadarm2 is used for berthing the trusses, the commercial vehicles and inspecting the whole International Space Station.

Government of the Municipality of Ponce. 13 April 2012. Accessed 3 February 2018. The building is constructed of huge steel-reinforced concrete trusses.

Following 1950s site planning principles, the school includes five classroom blocks that all contribute to the general concept of splayed, long, narrow buildings linked around open ended courtyard assembly and play spaces, fanning out from the administration block. The ground level administration block, the covered links between it and Blocks B and C, and between Blocks B, K and L, and the courtyard spaces between the buildings, are characteristic of 1950s school design in Queensland. The timber school building with timber floor trusses and the 1959-60 timber school building with open web steel floor trusses are both good, intact examples of their type and demonstrate two iterations of the Department of Public Work's standard designs: incorporating timber floor trusses for unimpeded play space under the classrooms, and later using steel trusses to achieve the same effect. Both buildings retain their: highset character with visible trusses under; large banks of south-facing timber-framed awning windows, with centre- pivoting fanlights; clerestory lighting above the northern verandah roof; and wide classrooms.

The top chords of the trusses were bolted to seats welded to the spandrels on the exterior side and a channel welded to the core columns on the interior side. The floors were connected to the perimeter spandrel plates with viscoelastic dampers that helped reduce the amount of sway felt by building occupants. Hat trusses (or "outrigger trusses") located from the 107th floor to the top of the buildings were designed to support a tall communication antenna on top of each building. Only 1 WTC (north tower) actually had an antenna fitted; it was added in 1978.

The original bridge (that now forms part of the up line) was constructed of a pair of trusses at centres. When the bridge was later widened to allow double track operation, a second structure of almost identical construction was erected from the original bridge with the gap spanned by timber decking. The trusses are high and the older trusses are unusual in that the tension (bottom) member is made of plate metal rather than a rolled girder. The trestles vary in height from to and are constructed of four wrought iron piers supported by horizontal and diagonal bracing.

Wooden trusses offer a solid and reliable source of support for building because, through their joints, they are able to resist damage and remain strong. Triangles are the strongest shape because, no matter where the force is being placed on them, they are able to use their three joints to their fullest extent to withstand it. Making trusses with triangles inside larger triangles adds even more strength, as seen in Lincoln's choir. The design of all wooden trusses is a tedious task as there are many different things that need to be considered while building these supports.

The bridge was built in 1929, one of many bridges built in the wake of flooding that devastated Vermont in 1927. It is one of only four Warren deck trusses built at the time, serving on what was one of the state's major travel arteries prior to the construction of Interstate 91\. These trusses were typically used by the state on some its longest spans, and sites where the clearance below allowed for the truss placement. The state standardized on these types of trusses during the 1928-30 construction period, and continues to use them for new bridge construction.

However, due to a supplier's fraudulent substitution of inferior-quality cable in the initial construction, the bridge was reappraised at the time as being only four times as strong as necessary. The main span and side spans are supported by a structure containing six trusses running parallel to the roadway, each of which is deep. The trusses allow the Brooklyn Bridge to hold a total load of , a design consideration from when it originally carried heavier elevated trains. These trusses are held up by suspender ropes, which hang downward from each of the four main cables.

This is surrounded by 13 Pratt truss sections spanning 186 feet on either side, and 13 smaller Pratt trusses each spanning 128 feet outside those. Nine plate girder sections were used for the western approach, for a total length of 5055 feet. The smaller Pratt trusses have riveted connections, but the larger Pratt and Parker trusses use pinned connections, making the Bahia Honda Rail Bridge the longest pin- connected truss bridge in the U.S. The original construction of the bridge was carried out by William Krome and Joseph Meredith, and the vehicular conversion was undertaken by B.M. Duncan.

The Sadliers Crossing Railway Bridge is a rare surviving example of the use of riveted double-intersection through Pratt trusses (Whipple trusses), and is the second longest span of this type in Queensland. This bridge and the former Burdekin River Rail Bridge are the only parallel chord examples of the Whipple design extant in Queensland. A variant of the Whipple truss design, using hogback trusses, is used in the Albert Bridge, Indooroopilly and the Alexandra Railway Bridge, Rockhampton. The cantilevered pedestrian footbridge and access stairs attached to the upstream spans is a rare example of its type and is still in use.

Roof trusses, supporting corrugated roof sheeting, are themselves supported at mid-span by hardwood poles. Ten engine sets and gas producers are located within the engine and gas producer rooms. The galvanised iron cladding is attached to a timber framework on massive timber uprights. The full width and half-width suspended roof trusses are large scale with king and queen post construction.

Goodison Park is the only stadium with two complete trusses designed by Leitch. Of the 17 created, only Goodison Park, Ibrox and Fratton Park retain these trusses. Everton constructed covered dugouts in 1931. The idea was inspired by a visit to Pittodrie to play a friendly against Aberdeen, where such dugouts had been constructed at the behest of the Dons' trainer Donald Colman.

The James E. Simpson House is an historic house at 606 Prospect Street in Methuen, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story house, finished in wooden clapboards, with a steeply-pitched gable roof with exposed trusses. It was built c. 1920, and features typical Craftsman features, including dormers with deep eaves supported by trusses, and half-timbering above the windows.

Wooden arches were later added to strengthen the Howe trusses. In 1868, Congress passed legislation requiring the lessees of the bridge to maintain a highway on the bridge. To support this construction, the lessees were authorized to charge a toll. A wooden floor was placed atop the Howe trusses, and wooden trestles built on both ends to provide approaches to the bridge.

In October 2000, flooding caused the collapse of the western part of the bridge, leaving three trusses. These trusses are corroded, with many of the struts heavily pitted or completely rusted through. Concerns over the potential for collapse of the remains have prompted discussions over whether it should be dismantled. Local residents and others wish to preserve it as a historical monument.

It has been replaced by a clapboard ceiling matching the general features of the north wing. The tie beams, that are marked with a lamb's tongue and chamfer, are original while the roof trusses were replaced in the 1820s. The beam farthest north bears the figures "iiii" and the beam farthest south is a clumsy insertion. The porch trusses may be original.

The bridge is covered by a gabled roof with wide eaves, and has vertical board siding rising about halfway up its sides. The trusses include iron rods running from the peaks of the diagonal bracing down to the truss's bottom chord. The bridge decking is wooden planking. The portals project beyond the ends of the trusses, and are faced in vertical board siding.

The Lewisham viaducts have moderate archaeological potential. Any evidence of the 1882 Lattice trusses on the suburban lines has been removed when replacement with plate web girders in 1998. However the pair of original 1886 Whipple trusses that have been retained on site and put on display under the viaduct, and provide evidence of the historic structures that were employed over the viaducts.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Interior, showing the rare combination of queen post and Burr arch trusses.

The height of the trusses is variable being 11 ft (3,4 m) at the elastomeric support and 3 ft (1,2 m) at mid-span.

The road deck is made with longitudinal timber planks on large timber cross girders that are supported on the lower chords of the trusses.

The current bridge features a drawspan of 521 feet with a fixed span of 560 feet carrying a double track railway between the trusses.

The deck is supported by I-bars descending from the trusses at 12 points, originally consisting of corrugated metal sheets laid on I-beams.

This is an early metal truss bridge that carries 6.1 metres of roadway and a footpath. It has nine spans in all, three timber spans of 6.7m then three wrought iron trusses: 34m, 34.5m, 34m and then three again in timber at 6.7m. Total length of the bridge is 474 ft (143.5m). The main spans consist of wrought iron pony trusses of the Pratt type.

Landis Mill Covered Bridge was built in 1873 by Elias McMellen at a cost of $969. McMellen, who built many of Lancaster's covered bridges using the Burr arch truss, chose to build this short bridge using a simpler design with multiple kingpost trusses and, instead of Burr arches, pyramidal-shaped trusses to add additional support. The bridge has remained despite the development of the surrounding countryside.

Weir put an oak hammerbeam roof on the Great Hall and renovated doors and windows. The profile of the beams was gleaned from the shadowy remains on the plaster walls of the exact dimensions of the roof trusses. The spacing of trusses was established by the window spacing below. The kitchens were cleaned up and provided with new hammerbeam roofs clad externally in local slate.

Specifically designed for wide river crossings, the steel and > concrete bridge is a continuous span Warren through truss structure. The > trusses are arranged in a "W" configuration that identifies them as Warren > trusses. The highway department used this style of bridge from 1933 to 1946. > Despite authorization from the War Production Board, labor and steel > shortages slowed construction, as did high water and inclement weather.

The Butts Bridge is located in a rural setting of southeastern Canterbury, spanning the Quinebaug River in a roughly east-west orientation. The bridge is a single-span steel Parker truss design that typifies truss bridges of the early automotive age. It is long, and is between the centers of the trusses. The trusses are mounted on concrete abutments, and the roadway is supported by concrete decking.

The amount of potential performance areas on-stage, as well as the size of the video cage, dictated the lighting system. Three trusses were suspended over the main stage housing just 16 lighting fixtures, with additional trusses lengthwise following the edge of the arena floor. The most heavily used lighting fixtures were PRG Best Boys and Bad Boys, providing both wash and spot lighting.

The outer approach spans of timber longitudinals are supported by common timber trestles, both braced and unbraced. The inner approach spans are of riveted continuous rolled steel joists and riveted deck-type continuous plate girders and underslung cross girders supported on concrete piers. The two mains spans are each of . They are riveted 13-panel double-intersection through Pratt trusses (Whipple trusses) supported on concrete piers.

The historic bridge was set in a similar orientation to the modern bridge. It had two long spans, each , carried by Pratt through trusses, and short girder span at the north end. The bridge trusses were fabricated by the American Bridge Company and the bridge was completed in 1928. In 1927, this part of the Winooski River watershed was subjected some of the state's most devastating flooding.

British army regulations in 1799 specified standard rations of trusses. These were one truss of straw for each two soldiers, to stuff their palliasses. Half a truss was provided after sixteen days to refresh this and the whole was then changed after 32 days. Five trusses of straw were provided for each company every sixteen days for the batmen and washerwomen, who did not have palliasses.

The roof framing consists of king post trusses with a double top chord (or top chord and rafter). This type of king post truss is rare but other examples have been noted in such as in the 1714 Lynnfield, Massachusetts meeting house, 1800 Congregational Church in Windham, Vermont, and the 1799 Strafford, Vermont meeting house.Lewandoski, Jan, Jack Sobon, and Kenneth Rower. Historic American roof trusses.

The deck is now supported by steel I-beams, and the original bridge trusses support only the bridge superstructure. The bridge has a total width of , with an wide roadway (one lane). The bridge trusses are a variant of a multiple kingpost truss. Each truss has verticals and diagonals in that style, but is further augmented by a laminated arch, consisting of heavy planks pegged together.

The Mountain Fork Bridge is a historic bridge in rural Polk County, Arkansas. It carries County Road 38 across Mountain Fork Creek north of Hatfield and southwest of Mena. The bridge consists of two spans of steel Pratt pony trusses, with a total length of , including approach spans. The trusses are set on piers consisting of steel rings filled with concrete; each of these spans is long.

Twist straps provide a tension connection between two wood members. They resist uplift at the heel of a truss economically. When the strengthening is being done from the inside, the ideal connector to use is one that connects rafters or trusses directly to wall studs. This can only be done where the rafter or trusses are immediately above or immediately to the side of studs below.

It is covered by a gabled metal roof, which extends beyond the trusses. The bridge originally had walkways on both sides, but the southern one has been removed. The trusses are clad in vertical board siding both on their outsides and insides, as is the half-wall on the outside of the walkway. Posts rise from that half-wall to the edge of the roof.

Distinctive features of the trusses indicating its age include riveted joints (an advance over older pin connections) and posts between the truss panels. The bridge deck consists of timber stringers on a wrought iron frame, supporting a wooden bridge deck. The web of truss components reflects a means of fabrication that was obsolete at the time, but still in use by the builder, who had not yet adopted recent advances in steel rolling technology. with The bridge was built in 1889, its trusses fabricated by the Vermont Construction Company of St. Albans, which was the only Vermont business of the period to built wrought iron trusses.

The currently displayed Whipple Truss on site and the extant Warren Trusses are able to collectively demonstrate the growth of the railways during the late 19th and early 20th century. The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history. Lewisham viaduct is significant for its association with NSW Railways Engineer-in-Chief John Whitton who was responsible for encouraging the use of Whipple Trusses at the underbridge in the 1880s. His successor George Cowdery was influential in implementing the use of Warren Trusses for the 1920s sextuplication.

In 1998 there were 27 surviving Dare trusses in NSW of the 40 built, and 82 timber truss road bridges survive from the over 400 built.

As part of a 2014–2017 Edge girder reinforcement program, 94 modular trusses and six shoring systems were installed to stabilize the condition of the bridge girders.

The interior of the building has a fine upper floor ceiling space with exposed queen-post trusses and a ceiling above lined with tongue and groove boarding.

An attraction for visitors is the barn's interior, with its timber cruck roof spanning 14 bays divided by A-shaped trusses supporting 100 tons of stone tiles.

Each side has one diamond-shaped opening. A heavy curb-high timber runs along each side of the bridge, presumably to prevent vehicles from damaging the trusses.

Wrought-iron lattice trusses were favoured in France after 1870, while in Ireland the curved light timber Belfast truss was used by Barbour Threads in Hilden, Ulster.

Internally, exposed queen post trusses and timber rafters support a timber-lined ceiling and zincalume roof. Floors are of timber; walls are lined with painted, compressed sheeting.

The Macquarie River underbridge is made of wrought iron with lattice girder. The bridge carries a single railway with transomes on timber stringers on metal cross girders which frame into the sides of the lower chords. The main trusses are through type lattice trusses, continuous over three spans. They are of constant depth with seven triangulations and are connected together above the track by characteristic arched latticed braces.

The most common application for a radiant barrier is as a facing for attics. For a traditional shingle/tile/iron roof, radiant barriers may be applied beneath the rafters or trusses and under the roof decking. This application method has the radiant barrier sheets draped beneath the trusses of rafters, creating a small air space above with the radiant barrier facing into the entire interior attic space below., RIMA International Handbook.

Two trusses span in a north–south direction while a further two span an east–west direction. The trusses are supported by the stadium's vertical concrete cores, eight of which connected to them by steel tripods. They in turn each house four stairways, a passenger lift as well as service access. Façades are either glazed or woven between the cores which allows visitors on the podium to see inside the stadium.

During construction of One Cleveland Center, the trusses were added to make the One Cleveland Center more rigid and able to handle Cleveland's sometimes windy downtown conditions, especially in the winter months. One Cleveland Center also uses Citigroup Center-style skin. The Trusses can be seen at night when the building is lit up. In 2003, CNBC reported from One Cleveland Center about an investment banker named Frank Gruttadauria.

The challenges of maintaining wood trusses are not limited to newer building projects. Visual grading can be used to conduct condition assessments for historic trusses. This along with load carrying tests, can be used to determine the best possible solutions to repairing older truss systems. Metal plates and correct, period material can be used to repair, although 100% recovery of the material may be hard if the wood truss has deteriorated.

The Lee Creek Bridge is a historic bridge across Lee Creek in Van Buren, Arkansas. Now closed to traffic, it is a three-span truss bridge located west of Rena Road on the city's west side. The bridge's single Pratt through truss was built in 1898, and a pair of Warren pony trusses were erected in 1930 to replace a second Pratt truss. The trusses rest on original stone piers.

The interior of the church is face brickwork with a panelled timber dado running around the walls below sill height. The ceiling is timber boarded with exposed rafters and is supported by hammerbeam trusses of an unusual and elaborate design. A deep carved timber cornice, featuring vine leaves, runs around the top of the walls above two rows of corbelled brickwork. The trusses are supported on projecting stone corbels.

The steel section consisted of two arches and five spans of parallel trusses, with the tracks mounted on the lower trusses. The steel arches were each 169.4 m long and were unusually high. One of the truss spans was 94.2 m long and the other four were 77.0 m long. The double track bridge had a total width of 12 m of which 7 m was used for rail tracks.

At each fifth rafter there are arch braced, scissor trusses that are tied at eaves level by metal rods. Each arched brace continues below the line of the clerestory and lands on a timber post. A second line of arches runs perpendicular to the roof trusses between the aisle posts along the length of the side aisles. These slender, pointed timber arches spring from moulded capitals on the aisle posts.

The bridge is covered by a metal roof with very long eaves, and has vertical board siding extending over the lower half of the trusses on the sides. The portals project beyond the ends of the trusses, and are also sheathed in vertical boards. The portal openings are framed as segmented arches. A sidewalk (also with deteriorated and unusable decking) is cantilevered on the outside of the east side.

The bridge's multiple kingpost trusses are sheltered by a sheet metal roof, with vertical plank siding covering the lower 1/3 of the trusses. Each truss consists of 28 panel sections between 29 posts. The bridge was built in 1882 by James Frederick Tasker (1826–1903), a local builder well known for his bridges. Its historic name, Blacksmith Shop Bridge, derives from a shop nearby owned by blacksmith John Fellows.

Structural building components are specialized structural building products designed, engineered and manufactured under controlled conditions for a specific application. They are incorporated into the overall building structural system by a building designer. Examples are wood or steel roof trusses, floor trusses, floor panels, I-joists, or engineered beams and headers. A structural building component manufacturer or truss manufacturer is an individual or company regularly engaged in the manufacturing of components.

Once the trusses were secured to one barge, the transporters were moved to the other half of the trusses to move them onto the second barge. After construction was complete, each gantry was proof tested with a load. VB-10,000 was towed from the yard on . Versabar announced that preliminary design work on a larger successor for operations outside the Gulf of Mexico was under way in April 2015.

The bridge rests on concrete abutments that date to 1960. The trusses are unusually short and lack internal bracing, and their corner joints have been reinforced with metal plates. with The bridge's construction date and builder are not known. It has been determined that the bridge was originally an uncovered Pony truss bridge, due to the relatively low height of the queen post trusses and the discovery of supporting documents.

Installation of the anchorages was completed on May 3, 1908. The top members of each of the triangular trusses were riveted up, laid vertically flat against the cliff faces, and secured firmly with lashes. From this foundation each truss was completed. As the construction of the trusses progressed, niches were cut out from the cliff face above the tunnels to create platforms, upon which powerful winches were installed.

At the time of its listing on the National Register in 2006, it was one of two Baltimore trusses in use as a highway bridge in the state.

Note roof construction being of 45° standard trusses (yet allowing internal volume to be wasted by not being in use as habitable space) with apparently unnecessary smaller gables.

The bridge provides access to U.S. Route 11. As of 1987, the East Bloomsburg Bridge may be been the last bridge in Pennsylvania to have "Pennsylvania"-style trusses.

It one of only six remaining Smith trusses in Indiana. Note: This includes and Accompanying photographs. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

Completed in 1898, the Morpeth Bridge is a substantial and rare overhead braced Allan type timber truss road bridge that has provided an important river crossing since its completion. As a timber truss road bridge, it has many associational links with important historical events, trends, and people, including the expansion of the road network and economic activity throughout New South Wales, and Percy Allan, the designer of this type of truss. Allan trusses were third in the five stage design evolution of New South Wales timber truss road bridges, and were a major improvement over the McDonald trusses which preceded them. Allan trusses were 20% cheaper to build than McDonald trusses, could carry 50% more load, and were easier to maintain. Only six examples of overhead braced Allan type timber road bridges were built of these only two remain, two under RMS control (Morpeth Bridge and Dunmore Bridge) while Hampden Bridge was under the control of Wagga Wagga City Council until its demolition in 2014.

Lewisham Railway viaducts over Long Cove Creek was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales. Lewisham viaduct over Long Cove Creek has historical significance at a state level as the site of different railway underbridges which represent significant phases in the development of the NSW railways. The stone arch viaduct built during the first phase of NSW railway construction in the 1850s was the largest structure on line; its subsequent replacement with Whipple Trusses in the 1880s was historically significant as it was one of only four bridges in NSW to employ such trusses; the 1890s addition of British lattice deck trusses to accommodate extra tracks represented the 1892 quadruplication of the line and the 1920s addition of currently used Warren Trusses to the north side of the viaduct demonstrated the 1926-27 sextuplication of the line.

Pratt trusses were introduced to Australia from the United States in 1892 with the construction of the light- rail Yass Tramway. Thereafter they became the standard for Main Line railways for spans over . While previous forms of truss had lent themselves to construction from timber, with stocky timber sections with good compressive and buckling resistance forming the diagonal members, the Pratt Truss reversed the direction of load in the diagonal members, enabling light rods or flat bars to be used in tension, making steel trusses highly efficient. The New South Wales Railways continued to employ the use of steel Pratt trusses for major bridge crossings until the advent of reinforced and prestressed concrete in the 1970s.

The winches, manually operated by groups of labourers, were used to lower the trusses steadily and evenly towards each other until the two arms met in the middle. Labourers then crossed into the gap from either side and rapidly drove in the pins and rivets which secured the two trusses firmly in position. The whole task of lowering and securing the trusses took only four hours, which was considered a noteworthy achievement. Two short steel towers were then erected on the central part of each truss to support the straight steel deck of the bridge, the members of which were brought up to the mouth of the tunnel and launched by being pulled out over rollers.

From the four corners of the ring beam spring the low raked intercepting timber trusses that support both the clerestory roof framing and the massive king post of the spire. Both the trusses and the king pole are made from Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys) sourced from forests within the locality, and barked, de-sapped and line dressed on site. The king post is composed of three lengths, each diminishing in thickness from an initial 450mm, as it ascends suspended over the chapel, over 30 metres in height. The load of the pole is transferred to the trusses by stainless steel shear plates sleeved between the laminated sections that compose the chords of each truss.

The design of this type of roof is achieved using rafters, roof trusses or purlins. The pitch of the roof and the height of the gutters can vary greatly.

Typical for Struwe, it was a steel truss box, with three 43 meter long spans. Trusses were built by Kolomna Works (owned by Struwe family) and ferried by river.

Other contractors were paid $484. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 1999, it was one of only 15 lenticular trusses remaining in the state.

The bridge is made up of two skewed trusses that are supported by concrete abutments and piers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

The benefits of the use of an external device to maintain reduction of the hernia without repairing the underlying defect (such as hernia trusses, trunks, belts, etc.) are unclear.

These types of trusses were used by the state to replace the longest spans, and was well suited to the deep stream bed and inclined route of the roadway.

There are three pairs of single track deck Warren trusses which carry the main lines over Long Cove Creek. Each span is and supported by brick piers and abutments.

Length (first part) 203 meters, width 10 meters. Interfax newsreel, 17 June 2005 The very shallow arch is a simple steel box; lace-like "trusses" are for decoration only.

The vertical load-bearing trusses are joined by a latticework web at both the ceiling and floor, effectively making the structure into a single box truss. The roadway is asphalt laid on horizontally placed timbers. All of its major interconnection points are reinforced by steel gussets, and crossing and connection points of the trusses are made with steel pins. The bridge was built in 1937, replacing a Long truss covered bridge built in 1852.

Lightweight steel trusses span the full width of the swimming hall, resting on engaged brick piers. The roof has been reclad, and while the original roof fully covered the swimming hall, a large central portion of the roof is now open to the sky. The steel trusses appear to be original. Square timber columns support the timber balustrade and gallery of tiered timber seating, creating a loggia around the perimeter of the pool.

Steel web trusses radiate out from the central pillar over a clear space of . The trusses terminate at supporting steel posts, which frame the 52 shearing bays that follow the curve of the semicircle. Mechanical shearing motors are mounted on the tally boards above each bay, with smaller holding pens located between the bays and the exterior wall. The current motors are modern upgrades but an example of an original motor survives within the shed.

The great majority of timber-framed houses were built with cruck trusses, while a few higher status houses were constructed with aisled- trusses. Change came in the mid-16th century when houses became two or more storeyed. Regional forms of house evolve and some are now stone built. The earliest stone built Snowdonia Houses, with an upper storey, is Tyn Llan at Gwyddelwern, which has been shown by dendrochronology to date from 1519 to 1537.

The diagonal members could be thinner since they were subject to tension forces only and the trusses were deeper enabling the use of bracing across the top members. This stabilised the trusses thus allowing lighter members to be used. This resulted in a more cost-efficient design. A major expansion of the Ipswich Workshops at the beginning of the 1900s, together with further upgrades of locomotives led to constantly increasing demands on the bridge.

Platform canopies, 2012 The platform canopies have been constructed at different stages, in different forms and materials. The canopy attached to the Station Building and Refreshment Room Wing is framed in timber and has an arched corrugated iron roof. The roof rests on timber trusses with arched top cords and is stabilised with lateral trusses. The roof structure is supported on steel posts (which have replaced timber ones) with curved brackets and valances.

It was a 'free church', within the Established Church, where no pew rents were paid and it survived on voluntary subscriptions. Twenty-two years after the church was built, problems developed when the wide roof began to splay further than it should, due to the strain of the wide-span timber trusses. Civil engineer Robert Mallet, whose father ran an iron foundry in Dublin, created cast-iron trusses to haul the church back into shape.

The bridge is a continuous structure with three spans, 2 of and a main span of , and a total deck width of . It carries four road traffic lanes, a central tramway line with two tracks, and two pedestrian walkways. The structural system consists of two parallel trusses with organic forms, their dimensions adjusted according to the structural requirements. The trusses are inclined 5° from the vertical to create a more dynamic appearance for the bridge.

Metal tie rods and portions of timber roof trusses are visible below the line of the ceiling. In the Old Hall the steeply pitched roof is lined with diagonal tongue in groove boards to form a raked ceiling above timber purlins and queen-post trusses. On the walls of this large room hand numerous timber honour boards. A fireplace with a stone mantelpiece is located in the centre of the south western wall.

Overall condition of the bridge was poor due to increasing deterioration of the superstructure and substructure, which resulted in the posted load limit. It was functionally outdated because the deck geometry provided a one-lane roadway for two-way traffic. The steel roadway stringers, floor beams, and trusses were corroded. It also had severe deterioration of the truss connection plates, and loss of bearing beneath the trusses and the bearing blocks at the pivot pier.

Comparison of the Howe and Pratt truss bridge designs. The development of the Pratt and Howe trusses spurred the construction of iron bridges in the United States. Until 1850, few iron bridges in the country were longer than . The simple design, ease of manufacture, and ease of construction of the Pratt and Howe trusses spurred Benjamin Henry Latrobe II, chief engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to build large numbers of iron bridges.

The former West Milton Bridge was a two-span Pennsylvania truss bridge, with an overall length of (the individual spans each being ) and wide, carrying a single lane of traffic. The portal clearance was . The bridge was built in 1902, and its trusses are among a small number of surviving Pennsylvania trusses in the state. The bridge is also notable for surviving the state's devastating 1927 floods, which destroyed more than 1,200 bridges.

A two-level reception area fronted the main station concourse. The curvature of the roof is steeper on the western side and here the trains passed close to the structure. The roof arches are made up of two dissimilar curved trusses, triangular in section, with compression booms of tubular steel (CFS) and tension booms of solid steel. Both compression and tension members are curved – structural engineer Anthony Hunt described the trusses as "banana shaped".

Interior of a barn with a Fink truss, with the characteristic W shape. Fink design trusses are used today for pedestrian bridges and as roof trusses in building construction in an inverted (upside down) form where the lower chord is present and a central upward projecting vertical member and attached diagonals provide the bases for roofing.Crawley, Stanley W. and Robert M. Dillon (1993) Steel Buildings: Analysis and Design, John Wiley & Sons Inc.

The final cost of the bridge was £6274. The bridge was constructed with a divided-lane through-truss design created specifically for the difficult river crossing and unique in Victoria. The trusses were originally intended for a deck truss design, but were adapted to allow their use as through trusses with stiffening arches connecting them above the roadway. Two separate roadways with an intervening stone pillar separating them have caused problems for modern traffic.

The amphitheater has architecturally exposed steel trusses and frames supporting curved steel roof purlins with a heavy timber, tongue-and-groove roof deck. The steel trusses and frames are designed and shaped to resemble the fronds of a palm tree. The steel structure is supported on concrete piers that are supported on a large concrete pile cap that rests on auger-cast-in-place piles. The concrete piers also support the main stage floor.

Truss Bridge #155 is a camelback truss bridge, 160 feet long and divided into eight panels, with the two trusses joined by a system of portal, lateral, and sway braces. The truss system is pin-joined. The trusses have die-punched eyes on the bottom chords but also forge-welded double clevises on all tie bars. The bridge is supported by coarse stone (north side) and concrete piers, with a macadam covered plank road surface.

Lombard Street Bridge is a historic truss bridge located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is an 88-foot cast iron span consisting of three lines of trusses—two outer trusses of composite cast and wrought iron in a diagonal Pratt design and a center composite bowstring truss of Pratt-system web. It was designed in 1877 by engineer Wendel Bollman (1814–1884). The center bowstring is actually a bifurcated cast iron water main.

The south side of the bridge has two square window holes, which improve visibility due to a sharp turn in the road at one end. The trusses are set at a skew, giving the bridge the shape of a parallelogram. The portals are square, and the exterior sheathing extends around to the ends of the trusses on the interior. with The bridge was built in 1883, and has been little altered since then.

The bridge was only one of two bridges in NSW to employ the Whipple Truss (the other being a road bridge over the Shoalhaven River at Nowra). These were subsequently replaced by welded, deck plate web girders in 1993. A pair of the Whipple trusses are on display on the southern side of the Lewisham Viaduct. Two more tracks (quadruplication) were added in 1892 using three double track deck trusses of the British lattice type.

He bordered a multi-floor, central courtyard using the roof's original, industrial trusses, and hung the courtyard's window façades off of repurposed trusses. Around the building's entrance, Sondresen kept the historic lintels, bollards, and arches. Separately, another architect worked to preserve the mismatched, dilapidated façade. For the externally sourced building materials, Sondresen chose sustainable options to reduce the construction's carbon footprint: reclaimed wood, recycled denim for insulation, and recycled fly ash in the building's concrete.

The unique Redesdale bridge Redesdale is on the opposite bank of the Campaspe River from the town of Mia Mia. The towns are connected by the heritage listed Redesdale bridge, one of the oldest iron lattice-truss bridges in Victoria. The trusses for the bridge were originally imported for a river crossing in suburban Hawthorn in 1859. The ship Herald of the Morning bringing the trusses to Melbourne caught fire and sank in Hobsons Bay.

As a result, the Hawthorn Bridge, connecting Richmond and Hawthorn, was delayed for a couple of years while new trusses were made and shipped out to Australia. Ten years later the original trusses were salvaged from the Herald of the Morning and used for the Redesdale Bridge. The bridge was constructed on site in 1868 with a divided-lane through-truss design created specifically for the difficult river crossing and unique in Victoria.

On 14 March 1998 part of train 235 hit the 1931 bridge, requiring the replacement of 2 of the trusses with 2 x beams in 2001/2 by McConnell Smith.

This bridge consists of a series of timber trusses completed in 1886 and is long, with fifteen spans totalling . When completed it was the longest timber truss bridge in Australia.

The roof canvas material weighs over 1,500 pounds and is supported by six trusses made up of over 6,000 pounds of steel. Just' In Construction, Inc. led the construction efforts.

Structural analysis of trusses of any type can readily be carried out using a matrix method such as the direct stiffness method, the flexibility method, or the finite element method.

The old entrance building was built at this time. Due to the fact that Germersheim was a fortified town, the station had to be built as a lightweight construction on trusses.

5, November/January 1990 pp.42-44 (Abrahams House, Brighton, photographs by Ashley Evans). Daryl Jackson, who preserved the industrial aesthetic of exposed trusses, bare concrete floors and steel roller-door.

Adjacent are two Warren deck trusses carrying the North Carolina Railroad and Norfolk Southern, one bridge carrying US 29/US 70/NC 150, and the historic concrete arch Wil-Cox Bridge.

After an accident damaged the bridge in 1987, county crews repaired it. They returned in 1989 for a more complete renovation, including new trusses, approaches, a new roof and new siding.

Restoration work in the late 20th century included the repair of structural problems as well as the construction of new oak roof trusses made in a traditional fashion with an adze.

Roof trusses must be welded to purlins and tied using extruding column steel reinforcements. to ensure it is fixed properly to the columns and will not fly-off during strong winds.

On both sides of the deck, -high steel trusses were installed to weigh down and stiffen the bridge in an effort to reduce oscillation. The stiffening project was completed in 1947.

It was completed in three years and is made of concrete, faced with stone, and supported by steel trusses with hand-carved Clipsham stone for the stone ribs supporting each bay.

On the interior the roof trusses are exposed. Original paneling complements the stone fireplaces. The area formerly included two other lines of cabins, the budget cabins and standard cabins, since removed.

The buildings with timber floor trusses (Block A) and open-web steel floor trusses (blocks D and E) demonstrate two iterations of standard Department of Public Works' structural systems that were introduced in the 1950s to provide unimpeded play space beneath classrooms. The buildings incorporate good, intact examples of their structural type and the visibility of the trusses is retained. The upper classroom levels of blocks C, D and E are good, intact examples of a standard Department of Public Work timber school building type. Characteristic features of this type include: a verandah for circulation, with glazed screens at the ends; large banks of timber-framed windows, to maximise natural light and ventilation; clerestory lighting above the verandah roof; and wide classrooms.

The two support piers for the main trusses, each with two load-bearing concrete pylons at either side of the center main span, were located on opposite banks of the river. The center span was connected to the north and south approaches by shorter spans formed by the same main trusses. Each was 266 feet (81 m) in length, and was connected to the approach spans by a 38-foot (11.6 m) cantilever. The two main trusses, one on either side, ranged in depth from 60 feet (18.3 m) above their pier and concrete pylon supports, to 36 feet (11 m) at midspan on the central span and 30 feet (9 m) deep at the outer ends of the adjoining spans.

The earliest wooden truss connections consisted of mortise-and-tenon joints and were most likely crafted at the construction site with the posts. Since most early trusses were made from unseasoned posts, the subsequent shrinkage would create cracking at the mortise-and-tenon joints. Additionally, the mortise-and-tenon joints in older trusses were located at the weakest point in the post, accelerating failure. Much of the early truss connection designs anticipated structural behaviour under loads.

222 Recent dendrochronological dating of the felling of a roof timber to 1470, does not rule out an association of the building's stone structure with Owain. The original building is a hall house with a four-unit plan: storeyed outer room of two bays, open passage (two bays between partition trusses), open hall (three bays with dais-end partition), and a storeyed inner-room of two bays. The carpentry is refined: purlins and ridge are tenoned into the trusses.

In 2011 the property was purchased by preservation consultant Steven McQuillin and an extensive rehabilitation was begun, with assistance from the Ohio Preservation Tax Credit. The two-foot-thick brick walls of the building were repointed and strengthened by filling the chimney cavities with reinforced concrete and pouring a concrete wall inside the rubble sandstone base. Masonry walls were braced and repointed and the wood structure removed. Deteriorated hewn wood trusses were replaced with new wood trusses.

The bridge was built by the Canadian Northern Railway between 1907 and 1909 with the superstructure supplied by the Hamilton Bridge Company. Originally designed as a joint railway and road bridge the bridge consisted of a centre rail line with extensions on each side for traffic. These traffic lanes remained in use until 1960 when the nearby Diefenbaker Bridge opened. The layout of the bridge consisted of three steel trusses, a swing span truss and two additional fixed trusses.

The two lower floors suffered extensive water damage but little direct fire damage. The fire was concentrated on the western end of the upper floor and in that area the steel framed roof trusses have buckled, leading to a loss of roofing tiles as the roof plane partially collapsed in this area. Other trusses have retained their integrity. The whole composition is surmounted by a prominent chimney which is also decorated in the triangular cement motif.

One of his medical innovations was hernia-relieving devices called "Rocking Trusses" that became quite popular and were sold to people outside the Canterbury Shaker community. The back cover of certain Shaker catalogs listed the "Reimproved Rocking Trusses," "Single, Double, and Umbilical - adapted to all ages and sexes, for the relief and permanent cure of Hernia or Rupture." They were made by Corbett at the Canterbury Shaker community, and all orders were to be addressed to him.

The roof structure comprises two main sections - the main station area roof has 40 barrelled roof trusses, each spanning 28 metres, over 38 bays, with additional gable end structures at both ends. Adjacent to the main station roof there is a second similar roof, which covers a car park and station infrastructure area. This is smaller, and comprises 19 trusses over 18 bays. A €10m roof replacement project started in August 2018 and was completed in June 2020.

The trusses are made entirely of sawn pieces of native hardwood nailed together. The roof of the igloo is clad with corrugated iron, the centre section of which has been angled up into a low-pitched gable. Rafters and the upper chords of the trusses support timber purlins, to which the corrugated iron is nailed. There is a ventilating gap in the roof above the centreline, protected by a raised sheetmetal ridge capping which is semi- circular in section.

Loria "sort of let us do our thing and explore something unique. We knew from the beginning that this was going to be something new and different." As a result, classic elements such as redbrick, limestone, and muted forest-green seats or fences, would not be found anywhere in Marlins Park. Any visible steel trusses would be functionally required to be that way, unlike retro-style trusses which tend to be exposed and bare for aesthetics.

In 1957, Dyckerhoff & Widmann (Dywidag) won the contract to build a permanent replacement bridge to a design by Gerd Lohmer and Ulrich Finsterwalder. This bridge is long and above ground and is a prestressed concrete parallel-chord beam bridge with trusses high consisting of posts and intersecting diagonals.Mangfallbrücke, Brückenweb, retrieved 19 June 2013 It was the first use in Germany of prestressed concrete trusses. The bridge has a lower deck containing a pedestrian and bicycle path.

The roof is made of slate, with a stone bellcote containing one bell at the west end. Inside, the wooden trusses of the roof are visible. The trusses were re-used when the roof was reconstructed. The church is entered through a porch on the south side, added in the 19th century, and a Tudor arch doorway; the porch contains a stone piscina (a water basin), said to be part of a font dating from the 12th century.

He also designed each laboratory floor to be entirely free of internal support columns, making laboratory configuration easier. Komendant engineered the Vierendeel trusses that make this arrangement possible. These pre-stressed concrete trusses are about long, spanning the full width of each floor and extending from the bottom of each service floor to the top. They are supported by steel cables embedded in the concrete in a curve similar to that of cables supporting a suspension bridge.

The bridge, which served people in rural areas around Pineville, was rated a 38.3 out of 100 points in a May 1, 1987, survey, which also included the 15-ton limit. A lot of the 70 historic bridges spread throughout Kentucky are either Pratt or Warren through trusses, the two most popular kinds of trusses. The Kentucky Route 2014 Bridge, along with others built in the early nineteenth century, represented an early style of bridge construction.

It is supported by a series of timber trusses from which contemporary light fittings and fans are suspended, and is lined with ripple iron. The walls are of vertical tongue and groove boards.

The building originally had two large doorways on the west side; these have since been bricked in.Klug, p. 33 The roof is supported by a series of trusses spaced at nearly .Klug, p.

This bridge is a steel truss bridge, with four suspended parabolic trusses (each of a different length), for a total span of 164m. It now serves as the road bridge over the river.

The demolition of the arena commenced in July and was completed in September. Artifacts recovered from the arena, including original wood trusses, were incorporated into a heritage display in the new fire hall.

Many of the buildings have similar designs aspects, including asymmetrical designs, the use of stone for foundations and walls, multi-pane wood sash windows, exposed log trusses, and wood shingle exteriors and roofs.

Block E, 2016 Block E is a Hawksley "type F amended", and the upper level incorporates open-web metal trusses that reduce the requirement for supporting elements. Some first floor windows at the western end of the southern wall are modern replacements. The ground floor contains two large classrooms (former student recreation area and locker rooms) and toilets at the eastern end. The interior masonry walls are rendered and the ceilings are flat-sheeted, above the exposed open-web metal trusses.

The Interstate-395 tunnel (also known as the "3rd Street Tunnel") and a major sewer line are situated beneath the structure. The building is designed to act like a bridge over the sewer and tunnel, balancing on a few strategically placed columns. A grid of steel trusses (which taper toward the exterior of the building) extend outward from these columns, which are primarily clustered toward the interior of the building. The exterior and interior walls and the floors hang from these trusses.

These changes raised the weight by 25% and so wing area was increased by extending the span by 20%. The G II R retained the N-form interplane and cabane struts of the G I, though the former no longer leaned outwards and the upper wing was somewhat higher over the fuselage. It had two extra inter-spar trusses (six rather than four) in its lower wing, which alone carried ailerons. A newly patented method cramped, rather than welded, trusses and spars together.

More than $350,000 was spent on building and equipping the Joe Grogan Room. All funds for the room were raised through $5,000 pledges by members of the Rocket Club, the athletic department's main support group that now totals more than 1,000 members. The arena is built with long span trusses that support the roof, above the arena floor. The trusses also support the arena's public address and ventilation systems, a catwalk system for service and maintenance, and the arena's center- court scoreboard.

P5 truss S5 truss The P5 and S5 trusses are connectors which support the P6 and S6 trusses, respectively. The P3/P4 and S3/S4 truss assemblies' length was limited by the cargo bay capacity of the Space Shuttle, so these small connectors are needed to extend the truss. The P5 truss was installed on December 12, 2006 during the first EVA of mission STS-116. The S5 truss was brought into orbit by mission STS-118 and installed on August 11, 2007.

They are thought to have nested there because the tops of the towers resembled their natural habitat of high cliffs. Instead of employing a rather streamlined-looking plate-girder system, Ammann constructed the Throgs Neck Bridge with stiffening transverse trusses under the deck. These served as counterweights to the bridge and allowed any wind to simply blow through, instead of against, the bridge. The asphalt roadway lies atop a deck, which consists of dozens of panels that lie directly above the trusses.

See Talbot, 1911. devised the solution, which consisted of two triangular trusses, arranged similarly to the leaves of a bascule bridge, supporting a set of beams that would form the span of the bridge. The trusses would be anchored into notches cut further down the cliff. Initial masonry work began on February 1, 1908, beginning with the excavation of shelves in each cliff face at the requisite height to carry the anchorages below the tunnel mouths on either side of the gorge.

The ladies' and men's cloak rooms are located on either side of the vestibule and have cement rendered walls, fibrous cement sheeted ceilings with timber cover battens and timber floors. Inside, the Hall is framed with arched timber trusses between which the curved ceiling is lined with fibrous panels and timber cover strips. Timber lattice ventilation panels are located in the centre of the ceiling between the trusses. The floor is timber framed on concrete stumps and is lined with Crow's Ash.

Box girder bridges were conceived, designed and built to span the railway reserve and the long stretches over the outbound N1 carriageway and the Northbound M5 carriageway as it approaches the N1. These had to be supported by scaffolding in the case of the end bridges and by "I-beam" steel trusses in the case of the railway reserve spans. The railway reserve also includes the height of the electrification services. This height added to the height of the "I-beam" steel trusses, the scaffolding on top of the trusses and the height of the box girder bridge is the determining factor in the extraordinary height of the new elevated freeway, which at its highest point is at the same height as the 5th story of the adjacent old mill building.

On the interior, the main sanctuary has a ceiling 60 feet high, supported with curved arches and hammer- beam trusses. Several stained glass windows are installed in the church, including one Tiffany glass window.

A hardwood timber floor with insulation has been laid over the older pine floor, and partition walls used to create bathrooms and stores. This space has a raked boarded ceiling with exposed timber trusses.

Flank lower wings each have smaller but still substantial Gothic windows. The interior is finished in dark aok, and has a barrel vaulted ceiling with posts of iron and wood supporting the roof trusses.

The bridge was constructed for the Burtonport Extension of the Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway network. Railway operations ceased on the line in 1940. The span is provided by two above-deck steel trusses.

It was built as part of a town program to upgrade all of its wood-frame bridges. The town paid the company $625 for the trusses and its portion of the bridge construction effort.

To the underside of the mezzanine is in extensive pressed metal ceiling and cornices, with a pressed metal cladding also to the balustrade. The ceiling to the store is raked, exposing the timber roof trusses.

In 1999, the building gained Grade II Listed status 'primarily for its well-integrated interior containing handsome ceiling and trusses, supported on two levels of columns with Gothic braces, elegant gallery fronts and original fittings'.

The trusses are reinforced by wrought iron rods, which provide lateral bracing often provided by wooden members in other bridges. The exterior consists of a metal roof and vertical board siding, the latter extending around the portals and a short way into the interior. The floor consists of planking laid parallel to the trusses on supporting stringers. with The historic bridge was built about 1883 by Arthur G. Adams, a local carpenter credited with construction of a number of Tunbridge's five surviving covered bridges.

The dishes were welded onto the hulls of two diesel submarines and laid down onto railway bridge trusses. The ADU-1000 antennas were mounted onto steerable frames constructed from battleship gun turrets and railway bridge trusses. The Pluton complex supported all the Soviet space programs until 1978, when the Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope was built, then the Pluton became a backup system for the RT-70. The Pluton complex was the world's highest capacity deep space communication system prior to Goldstone in 1966.

A bridge has been documented to stand at this location as early as the 1790s. A bridge at the site underwent repairs in 1866, but was judged to be in need of repair or replacement in 1885. The town contracted for the trusses with the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, then a major producer of bridge trusses, and the bridge was completed for $1,000. In 1965, the state added a metal grid deck, and in 1970 it replaced the original deck supports with I-beams.

Hat trusses (or "outrigger truss") located from the 107th floor to the top of the buildings were designed to support a tall communication antenna on top of each building. Only the north tower, 1 World Trade Center, actually had an antenna fitted, which was added in 1978. The truss system consisted of six trusses along the long axis of the core and four along the short axis. This truss system allowed some load redistribution between the perimeter and core columns and supported the transmission tower.

One of the first rooms that one encounters as one climbs the staircase is the so-called 'chamber of Marguerite de la Chambre'. This was the private room first of Marguerite de la Chambre, wife of Luigi of Challant, and then of Mencia de Bragança, the wife of René of Challant. The room is covered by a wooden ceiling with exposed trusses. At the top of the wall, and located in the spaces between the exposed trusses, a frieze showing Marguerite's arms can be found.

The structure is formed by two longitudinal trusses. The design of the trusses goes beyond the traditional forms, and introduces complex forms of organic shapes whose dimensions fit the resistant requirements. The designers responsible for the creation of the bridge, who have defined the structure as a living work capable of fitting into its surroundings, have used weathering steel to recall the work of Basque artists such as Chillida and Oteiza. The traditional truss spaces become alveoli of varied forms whose appearance invites very different perspectives.

The bridge's design was similar to that of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, which collapsed in 1940. As a result, extra stiffening trusses were added to the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge in the early 1940s, and it was widened to six lanes during the same project. The Bronx–Whitestone Bridge was also renovated in 1988–1991 to repair the anchorages, roadways, and drainage. The stiffening trusses were removed during a renovation in the mid-2000s, and the bridge's deck and approach viaducts were replaced soon afterward.

The oldest parts of the building date from between 1086 and 1420 include the undercroft (northwest wing), the battlemented gateway and the southeast wing, originally the kitchens and servants' quarters. The great hall is disproportionally large and its upper end obtrudes into the line of the solar range. It is a substantial room of and is divided into five bays by braced collar-beam trusses in the walls at the side. Other similar trusses extend along the entire north range which contain two original bedrooms.

All of the restoration work was performed using materials and details as close to original as possible. The increase in strength was accomplished by post tensioning the two trusses below the bottom wooden chords with high strength coated steel rods. These rods, as well as other structural steel upgrades required to increase the strength are hidden from view by the wooden siding in order to maintain the historic look of the bridge. The two Pratt trusses are still the fully functioning main structural supports for the bridge.

In 1843, following an accidental fire in 1840, Walker's supplied cast iron roof trusses for the South Nave of York Minster, which were erected by the York builder George Coates. Then in 1849 they supplied similar iron trusses for Castle Oliver, Limerick, Ireland to designs by the York architect George Fowler Jones. By 1851 Walker's employed 52 men and according to the 1871 Census, 57 workmen & 5 boys. Measom's Illustrated Guide to the North Eastern Railway, 1861, says Walker's employed upwards of 100 workmen.

Its hardwood trusses and handrails were removed and a fire lit under the centre span which did burn part of the timber decking but the bridge failed to catch fire properly. The bridge is still standing and vehicles could drive across, although stability and safety are an issue. The bottom chords are mostly intact but the central span has sagged without its supporting trusses and as a result of the fire. All the piers are in place with their cross bracing and both abutments are relatively stable.

The first section of railway built in New South Wales was opened as a single line from the Cleveland Paddocks (near Cleveland Street overbridge) to a site west of Granville on 26 September 1855. It was duplicated by June 1856. The largest structure on the line was the 8-span stone arch viaduct over Long Cove Creek on the western side of Petersham. By the 1880s deterioration lead to its replacement by three pairs of Whipple trusses, they were American type wrought iron, pin-jointed deck trusses.

A s? stair leads up to a storeroom above the offices at the northern end. The walls are plastered above a face brick dado. The ceiling is timber boarded with exposed rafters and timber roof trusses.

Burgess & Niple Engineers Architects. "Engineering Summary Report". Bellefontaine: Logan County Engineer's Office, June 1997. Restorations in 1943 and 1958 involved replacement of floorboards, strengthening of trusses, and raising the bridge to reduce the danger of flooding.

The interior has also been converted into loft apartments. Like the main building, its structural system includes terra cotta tiled roofs supported by steel trusses. An original mezzanine level was removed when the building was redeveloped.

Architecturally, the load-bearing masonry building in the Renaissance Revival style is significant for its early efforts to introduce steel trusses into traditional masonry- bearing wall and heavy timber construction. It has also been noted as an outstanding early example of the work of architects Frank H. and Joseph G. Cunningham. The building illustrates the early use of steel trusses to provide a clear-span auditorium with 18-foot ceilings., Section 7, page 5 At the time of construction, use of steel trusses was still in the experimental phase. The design of the building is an early example of “the gradual replacement of load-bearing masonry and heavy timber structures with steel frame construction.”, Section 8, page 8 The building has 86 tall windows with segmental arches, laid out like those in many textile mills in the region.

The lightweight fiberglass fairing is triangular in shape, giving it an aerodynamic profile that allows crosswinds to flow through the bridge rather than hit the trusses. The removal of the trusses and other changes to the decking reduced the bridge's weight by 6,000 tons, accounting for some 25% of the mass suspended by the cables, In addition, with the truss removals, the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge was able to withstand crosswinds of up to , whereas the trusses could resist crosswinds of no more than . The truss removal project also involved upgrading the lighting systems, including the bridge's lightbulbs and the beacons atop the suspension towers, as well as replacing the sprinkler and electrical systems. In 2005, it was announced that the bridge's deck had to be replaced with a new steel orthotropic deck composed of prefabricated panels.

The main span of the bridge consists of two Warren trusses resting on the abutments and a central pier in the Ten Mile River. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.

A bellcote surmounts the front gable. The porch and vestry doorways and windows are lancet shaped. Internal walls are painted and the lined roof is supported by exposed beams and trusses. The red cedar pews are original.

The interior design of the church was influenced by the Oxford Movement. The roof's wooden trusses are exposed as arches that span the nave. The church houses an Austin Organ, opus 419, which was installed in 1913.

The Qantas hangar is located at the Longreach Airport, on the western side of the complex and is a large, freestanding structure which forms a dominant landmark in the area. The hangar comprises a large open space, or hangarage, with annexes on either side and at the rear. The hangarage has a light frame of tubular steel which comprises a series of trusses supporting a gable roof with a ventilated ridge. The roof trusses are only supported by columns where the roof has been extended over the side annexes.

Designed by Harvey Dare and built from 1905 to 1936, the Dare Truss incorporates the best features of both the Allan Truss and the De Burgh Truss, whilst eliminating the pin-joints of the latter that proved problematic in maintenance. The Dare Truss was the most successful of the timber/steel composite trusses. The Old Cobram-Barooga Bridge uses De Burgh Trusses. The De Burgh Truss is unique amongst the five timber truss types in NSW, as it was the first to depart from the process of evolution from the previous "standard type".

At houses with shingled roofs, it was found that some of the shingles were stapled perpendicular to the long axis, also allowing them to be torn away. After the tiles or shingles were peeled off, the plywood and prefabricated trusses were exposed to the weather. Eventually, the plywood and the trusses suffered structural failure, leading to roof collapses. In July 1996, Governor Chiles established the Florida Building Codes Study Commission, with the purpose of assessing the buildings codes at the time, as well as enacting improvements and reform to the system.

A roof being framed in the United States circa 1955 Modern timber roofs are mostly framed with pairs of common rafters or prefabricated wooden trusses fastened together with truss connector plates. Timber framed and historic buildings may be framed with principal rafters or timber roof trusses. Roofs are also designated as warm or cold roof depending on how they are designed and built with regard to thermal building insulation and ventilation. The steepness or roof pitch of a sloped roof is determined primarily by the roof covering material and aesthetic design.

Support piers consist of timber piles under the approach spans and four pairs of cast iron cylinders 1.83m diameter braced with wrought iron crossed rods. The ten panel Pratt trusses are simply supported and have horizontally positioned I-sections for the upper chords and sloping end diagonals, but flat metal strips for the tension bottom chords and for the tension diagonals. There are metal stringers on metal cross girders, the whole being located at about the mid depth of the main trusses. The piers are twin metal cylinders.

His conclusion was that the design was basically flawed, and that the wrought iron trusses fixed to the girders did not reinforce the girders at all. The same conclusion was reached by the jury at the inquest. Stephenson's design had depended on the wrought iron trusses to strengthen the final structures, but they were anchored on the cast iron girders themselves, and so deformed with any strain on the bridge. Stephenson maintained that the locomotive derailed whilst crossing the bridge, and the impact force against the girder caused it to fracture.

The US 64 Horsehead Creek Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying US 64 across Horsehead Creek east of Hartman. Its two main spans are Parker pony trusses, in length, with steel deck girder approach spans giving the bridge a total length of . The trusses are mounted on concrete piers, with the approaches on concrete piers and abutments. The bridge was built in 1933–1934 by Fred Luttjohann, and served as a major crossing point and transportation route until the construction of Interstate 40 (I-40) to the north.

The Burkeville Covered Bridge stands in the formerly industrial village of Burkeville, west of the center of Conway, carrying Main Poland Road over the South River just south of Massachusetts Route 116. It is of kingrod truss construction, with a total truss length of and a roadway width of (one lane). It is covered by a gabled metal roof and its sides are finished in vertical board siding. Its wooden trusses, in contrast to kingpost trusses, have wrought iron verticals which transmit the active load to the top chord of the truss.

The ENP Bridge over Green River is a historic bridge located near Daniel, Wyoming, which carries Sublette County Road CN23-145 across the Green River. The Western Bridge and Construction Company built the bridge circa 1905. The bridge has two spans, both Pratt trusses; the longer span is a Pratt through truss, while the shorter is a Pratt pony truss. The use of both through and pony trusses in the same bridge was uncommon in Wyoming, and the bridge is the only surviving example of a Pratt truss bridge in this style.

The EBF Bridge over Powder River is a bridge located near Leiter, Wyoming, which carries Sheridan County Road CN3-269 over the Powder River. The bridge has two spans; the first span is a Pratt through truss, while the second span is a Warren truss. Due to this configuration, the bridge has been called "one of [Wyoming's] more interesting vehicular trusses". The trusses in the bridge are connected rigidly rather than by pins; the bridge was built in a transitional period between the two designs and is an early example of rigid connections.

But on the eve of John Whitton's retirement, the winds of change were blowing. The technical and economic merits of American bridges was widely recognised and independent groups of engineers in the Railway Construction Branch under Henry Deane, the Existing Lines Branch under George Cowdery and those in the Tramway Branch were designing and planning to construct large American steel trusses and Yass got the first. The next group were the main line trusses on the Murwillumbah railway line and the change over to American bridge technology was complete.

Built in 1891, this Romanesque Revival ecclesiastical architecture has cross gabled roofs, constructed of limestone blocks, rusticated externally with heavy timber framing members forming the roof trusses, nave ceiling with wood beams that are suspended from the roof trusses by 2 x 4 studs. It has several unique features, for instance the chancel is situated in the corner rather that the center of the sanctuary. When Second Presbyterian dedicated its new sanctuary on January 1, 1892, it was the largest church in America south of the Ohio River.

Internally the eastern terrace survives relatively intact beyond the front shops and retains its fine mid C19th geometric timber stair and most of its joinery, flooring, plasterwork and one chimney piece. Beyond the front range of building is a large timber floored iron roofed hall. The roof sheeting is visible from below and is supported by a row of fine wrought iron trusses, spanning clear across the space. These trusses in turn support a raised central roof with clerestory windows either side extending almost the full length of the hall.

Truss of the Reading- Halls Station Bridge, with cast-iron diagonal elements in compression and narrow wrought-iron vertical ties in tension The parallels in each chord are usually built up out of smaller beams, each small beam fastened to one another to create a continuous beam. In wooden Howe trusses, these slender beams are usually no more than wide and deep. In iron trusses, the upper chord beams are the same length as the panel. Upper chord beams are usually made of cast iron, while the lower chord beams are of wrought iron.

The original working drawings show a single structure as wide as the auditorium with a skillion roof and a glazed ventilated cupola, but changes occurred during the construction phase. The deep profile corrugated fibrous cement main roof is supported on single span steel trusses which have a segmentally curved bottom chord and have been manufactured from riveted angle iron sections. The bottom chord of the trusses are clad in fibrous plaster that sweeps down the walls and over iron supporting stanchions. The ceiling which follows the curve is lined with Craftex, a proprietary fibrous board.

The sides are finished in novelty siding, while the ends are finished horizontal flushboarding, with vertical boarding sheltering the trusses just inside the portal. The siding on the sides does not always extend to the gabled roof, providing light into the structure. The bridge's original construction date was estimated to be sometime in the 1830s. At one time, an attempt to strengthen the bridge was made by doubling the trusses, so that heavily laden trucks could pass over the bridge; this was deemed ineffective, and the change was eventually reversed.

The trusses are a variant of the Pratt truss, with laminated arches supporting the deck by a combination of wooden and iron verticals, with iron cross bracing. In 1989, the bridge was rehabilitated and strengthened by the Vermont Agency of Transportation. The purpose of the project was to restore the structure to its original condition and increase its load carrying capacity to safely carry emergency vehicles. Restoration focused primarily on rebuilding the ends of the top and bottom chords of the trusses that had deteriorated over the previous century.

The precast concrete double-wall panel has been in use in Europe for decades. The original double-wall design consisted of two wythes of reinforced concrete separated by an interior void, held together with embedded steel trusses. With recent concerns about energy use, it is recognized that using steel trusses creates a "thermal bridge" that degrades thermal performance. Also, since steel does not have the same thermal expansion coefficient as concrete, as the wall heats and cools any steel that is not embedded in the concrete can create thermal stresses that cause cracking and spalling.

The Upper Cox Brook Covered Bridge stands west of the village of Northfield Falls, crossing Cox Brook, a tributary of the Dog River. It is the westernmost of three covered bridges on Cox Brook Road; the other two are the Northfield Falls Covered Bridge (crossing the river), and the Lower Cox Brook Covered Bridge. The bridge is of Queen post truss design, its two trusses in length, and resting on abutments either faced or rebuilt in concrete. The trusses are set at an offset, skewed to form a parallelogram.

The bridge's Town lattice is an unusual design choice, but the later addition of the queen trusses are also unusual, resulting in a unique visual appearance by the bridge's unequal spans. This gives the appearance of kingposts within the queenposts. Since the addition of the steel I-beam flooring in 1973, the trusses have supported nothing but themselves. The State of Connecticut's lists the bridge as CT 1338 and the May 2012 inspection of the bridge found the deck and superstructure conditions to be satisfactory and condition of the substructure to be fair.

Harvey Dare was a leading engineer in the Public Works Department, and a prominent figure in early 20th century NSW. He was a designer of bridges and he developed the Dare Truss which was similar to the Allan truss but contained improvements which made them stronger and easier to maintain. This engineering enhancement represents a significant evolution of the design of timber truss bridges, and gives Dare trusses some technical significance. Dare Trusses were the fifth of the five stages of evolution of timber truss road bridges in NSW.

A bowstring truss is used on the oldest metal bridge in Virginia Named for their shape, bowstring trusses were first used for arched truss bridges, often confused with tied-arch bridges. Thousands of bowstring trusses were used during World War II for holding up the curved roofs of aircraft hangars and other military buildings. Many variations exist in the arrangements of the members connecting the nodes of the upper arc with those of the lower, straight sequence of members, from nearly isosceles triangles to a variant of the Pratt truss.

The church interior is impressive; the nave is separated from the aisles by octagonal columns supporting pointed arches. The nave is spanned by timber braced trusses with a king post and quatrefoil motifs to the haunches (the part of the arch between the top of the arch and the supporting pier); an ornamental timber fretwork truss/arch is centred over the chancel. Simpler scissor trusses run the length of the aisles. The diagonally boarded timber ceiling with exposed rafters is finished with a timber frieze with quatrefoil motifs.

The Queanbeyan rail bridges over Queanbeyan and Burbong Rivers was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. This item has some historical rarity due its association with the 1887 Cooma Railway and the reuse of the original foundations for the 1926 replacement trusses. The Warren deck trusses are relatively rare because there are only four other railway sites in NSW with this type of superstructure.

The Parliament House, Machynlleth, is a substantial and remarkably complete hall-house sited parallel to the main road which approaches the town from the east. The hall-house has a four-unit plan: a storeyed outer room of two bays, an open passage (2 bays between partition trusses), an open hall (3 bays with dais-end partition), and a storeyed inner-room of two bays. The carpentry is refined: purlins and ridge are tenoned into the trusses. The principal rafters of each truss are unusually shaped ('extruded') to receive the tenoned collar.

Located at the rear of the workshops and to the north of the main building, this building is a single storeyed gable roofed structure clad in corrugated iron. The internal space is open with exposed beams and trusses.

Timber trusses also are built in a variety of styles using wood or metal joints. Heavy timber rafters typically spaced to apart are called principal rafters. Principal rafters may be mixed with common rafters or carry common purlins.

The Chapel by the Lake is an example of Rustic architecture in a suburban location. Its rafters, trusses, and walls are visible spruceGurney, Michelle. Alaska's Southeast: Touring the Inside Passage. 2006: Morris Book Publishing, LLC. p. 218. logs.

Internally the timber trusses have been left exposed on the upper level and the French doors with lead lights which opened onto the first floor balcony remain. The building is similar in design to the adjacent Rothwells Building.

The deck is made up of lateral timber cross girders supporting longitudinal timber decking. The cross girders are bearing on the bottom chords of the trusses. The substructure consists of two sandstone abutments and a central concrete pier.

Brickwork was damaged and the gables were brought down. At some point before the 1920s, the entire roof was replaced except for the kingposts and trusses. In 1890, the three Charleston mills produced over 97,000 barrels of rice.

The roof framework of the building was constructed by wood and steel trusses and the top was paved with cement tiling. On the left wall is a wooden monument about local gentlemen's donating money to build the hall.

Separating the nave from the chancel is the arch again constructed from contrasting red and yellow stonework. The roof trusses are wooden. The aisles contain windows based on 13th century geometric designs. These developed from earlier narrow lancet windows.

The building is of one and a half storeys and the original timber frame has been encased in subsequent renovations, in brick on three sides and in rubble on the fourth. The original crucks and trusses survive largely intact.

Both trusses are long, consisting of nine identical panels. The web is deep. Two concrete abutments support the bridge above mean water level. Its pin-connected superstructure uses wrought iron Phoenix columns in its top chord and compression members.

The bridge's total length was about , and it was just over wide. Its three central spans were identical Pratt trusses, 133'4" long and 20' tall. The pony truss connected the main span to the southwestern shore, and measured 73'10".

The hall is constructed with steel trusses supporting an open-span roof. Surrounding balconies are supported by fluted columns. The mezzanine is ringed with an oval motif mimicking the curve of a velodrome. The front forms a tripartite facade.

The white picket fence runs along the front of the site, and returns part of the way along High Street, past the bell tower. The interior of the church has exposed scissor trusses with a diagonally boarded ceiling above.

The station is there equipped with 50 parking spaces and a bicycle rack. There is transfer to bus and taxi. There is a level crossing just north of the platforms. The overpass is built with steel trusses with glass sidings.

Decorative pressed metal ceilings remain in several rooms and corridors. Room 306 retains exposed timber trusses and decorative pressed metal ceilings; room 405 remains as a galleried lecture theatre with decorative pressed metal ceilings; glazed timber partitions remain in room 202.

Its roof is from the 16th century and has its trusses closer together than the 17th-century nave roof. The south wall of the chancel has a decorated wooden panel dated 1644, which used to be part of a pulpit.

The church was designed by Scott and Jaques. It has curving walls of dark brick, broken up by 17 tall windows. Trusses of prestressed concrete support a copper roof. The altar is stone, but the rest of the furnishings are wooden.

The bridge was built in 1908, its trusses constructed by the Southwestern Bridge Company. At the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, it was one of three surviving camelback truss bridges in the state.

The great Chinese rhododendron is a substantial evergreen shrub or tree reaching a height of with dark green leaves up to long. In late spring it bears large trusses of pale yellow or cream flowers, spotted with maroon on the interior.

In early- and mid-spring, trusses of 15–20 bell-shaped flowers, 5 cm (2 in) wide and 3–5 cm (1.25–2 in) long are produced in red, pink or white. They have black nectar pouches and black spots inside.

Much of the interior has an open ceiling with the roof structure visible above. The roof structure is heavy timber trusses on centers. The Wyoming Army National Guard Cavalry Stable was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

The tower was proposed to have a dual structural system composed of a central reinforced concrete core and a perimeter composite moment frame. The two systems are connected at regular intervals along the height using steel outrigger and belt trusses.

Concrete caps were added to the abutments and steel -beams were added just below the deck, so that only an overload condition would require the additional support of the beams.The trusses also received attention. In 1989 the deck was replaced.

The east window is larger, also with two lights and tracery that is probably in concrete. There is no west window. In the interior, the walls are plastered and the roof trusses are whitewashed. The floor is paved with quarry tiles.

At the time of its construction, most state-funded bridges were still built as concrete deck bridges, and the use of trusses was still a developing strategy, which would be greatly accelerated by the massive flooding the state experienced in 1927.

Its roof trusses, which dictated the width of the new building, were unpegged and transported in pieces. Other architectural elements such as windows, doors and columns were salvaged and reused.12th St. Meeting House – Index to Photographs (PDF). from HABS.

The barge boards have carved ends. There is a gable roofed, weatherboard office with a chimney, attached to the north side of the shed. The roof is supported by timber king post trusses. The windows are timber, double hung sash.

Exposed timber trusses. Polished cedar church pews and matching wall panelling. Chapel oriented along north/south axis. Constructed 1941 from recycled sandstone originally in Campbell and Company's Stores building, Morpeth which was constructed in the 1830s and demolished in 1939.

The Vierendeel truss was used in Belgium, particularly on the Belgian railways. Discussions in the journal Der Eisenbau concerning the pros and cons of the Vierendeel truss led to the development of deformational modelling of structures - necessary for mathematical analysis of Vierendeel trusses. He emphasised an importance of aesthetics over pure engineering: As of 2011 the 'castellated beam' and 'cellular beam' are in common use in construction for roof and floor support - both are open web structures without diagonal trusses; vierendeel truss type analysis is used to understand and predict failure modes, which include vierendeel truss type failures.

Due to its high stability, double-lattice design decreased the length of panels and made the bridge's parts easier. The presence of a support column in trusses allowed a simple design of cradles and baseframes, as well facilitated the design of connections between bearing floor beams and trusses. Furthermore, Beleloubski made improvements in the bridge structure by proposing the device of 'free carriageway', which later came to be called "the Russian support method". Steelwork elements amounting to 4423 tons were manufactured at the famous Votkinsk ironworks in Udmurtia under the supervision of contractor General V.I. Berezin.

The installation of 100 metres long trusses between the piers was carried out by the balanced cantilever method — from pier to pier — with the use of cranes passing through the top and inside of the trusses. In 1991, train traffic was halted on the old bridge and its dismantling began in 2000.Главная > История города > Хроники: 1981—2000 — Музей города Новосибирска The new spans were assembled with the use of high-strength bolts, which allowed to quickly install the new spans without scaffolding or any floating means. The estimated cost of the project was 8 million Russian rubles.

The trusses are all through trusses of three different types, with two heavy spans spanning the longest sections, across the river and the tracks of the Central Vermont Railroad. Lighter spans cross the Providence and Worcester Railroad tracks and Riverside Drive, with an even lighter span at the northernmost end. The bridge was built in 1906 to connect the commercial core to the southern residential part of Willimantic. A bridge was first proposed for this area in 1877, but no action was taken until the early 20th century, when city leaders were seeking to create a downtown area more suitable for pedestrian use.

The Prince Alfred Bridge over the Murrumbidgee River is a three span, wrought iron, pin jointed Warren truss on cast iron cylindrical piers. A Warren truss, as originally patented, consists of a configuration of repetitive equilateral triangles that support a road on either the top or bottom chord. The trusses of the Prince Alfred Bridge have additional verticals at each cross girder location, designed to provide lateral support to the top chord. The trusses are suspended from a continuous horizontal top chord, supported on a nest of five rollers located on vertical pillars attached to the top of each pier.

The Palmyra and Jacksonburgh Railroad was organized in the 1830s as a branch of the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad. Both railroads failed in the late 1830s, and the lines were leased to the Michigan Southern Railway (later the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway). In about 1890, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern contracted the Union Bridge Company of Athens, Pennsylvania to fabricate trusses for a bridge on the original Erie & Kalamazoo line. In 1896, they reused these trusses, along with new steel plate girder spans were fabricated by the Detroit Bridge & Iron Works and the Toledo Bridge Company to fabricate this bridge.

Doors on eastern side are sheet metal double doors, but two central doors now have steel roller doors. The area along the wall of the building from the eastern side has a narrow corridor flanked by "lockers" (small rooms with racks). The corridor wall is vertical beaded board, the floors are patched concrete and the outer wall is concrete. The building appears to have been built in two stages, the eastern section has timber trusses and timber frames to the tethering area and looks older than the western end which has steel trusses and partition frames.

There are many different ways that the trusses can fail, if they are not designed or built properly; it is therefore crucial to design trusses that suit a specific building with specific needs in mind. The simplest form of a truss is an A-frame; however, the great amount of outward thrust generated by this often causes the truss to fail. The addition of a tie beam creates a triangular shape, although this beam can sometimes sag if the overall truss is too large. Neither one of these types would have been suitable for Lincoln, owing to the sheer size of the roof.

The Ponakin Bridge is located in a rural setting several miles north of the village center of Lancaster, spanning the Nashua River in a roughly east–west orientation between Massachusetts Route 70 and Ponakin Road, a dead-end residential street paralleling the river's west bank. The bridge trusses consist of eight paneled sections with a total span of and a width of . It rests on granite stone abutments formed out of rough- cut stone long. The decking consists of a base of cross timbers which are attached to the trusses, with wood stringers, then transverse cross timbers, and finally three inch deck planking.

The interior has an elaborate exposed roof structure consisting of small arched trusses springing from sandstone impost blocks, which are centred on brick piers at the corners of the octagons. The trusses meet at a midpoint below the roof pinnacle; the remainder of the roof is supported with struts springing from a central half- post. It has a timber boarded ceiling with exposed rafters, and the dormers are expressed in the ceiling. The room has twelve high-set stained glass windows with sandstone voussoirs encircling the room, as well as four stained glass windows to the dormers.

Provided that the members are long and slender, the moments transmitted through the joints are negligible, and the junctions can be treated as "hinges" or "pin-joints". Under these simplifying assumptions, every member of the truss is then subjected to pure compression or pure tension forces – shear, bending moment, and other more-complex stresses are all practically zero. Trusses are physically stronger than other ways of arranging structural elements, because nearly every material can resist a much larger load in tension or compression than in shear, bending, torsion, or other kinds of force. These simplifications make trusses easier to analyze.

They had to be timber, mostly ballast top timber beam bridges but at three locations larger bridges were required, over the Beardy River, Severn River and Bluff River. Whitton, a successful railway engineer from England, chose one of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's timber bridge viaducts built in Cornwall during the 1850s. The model chosen was the St Germans Viaduct, composed of composite deck Queen post trusses, with the bottom chords being large iron rods. Whitton's staff redesigned the trusses to be all timber and the viaducts were built during construction of the Glen Innes to Tenterfield section 1884-86.

The third-floor door has its original window with 27 small glass panes and three large ones amid three wooden panels, topped by a three-light transom. Original beadboard paneling remains on the second story, along with the original window surrounds and their rosette corners. The original wooden trusses are still visible in the factory wing, making it possible to see that its third floor is carries by suspension rods from the roof trusses. The stable has been extensively modified after its original use was discontinued, but it retains its original stair as well and some of its woodwork.

The William Howe's system was theoretically checked and then improved by the Russian engineer Dmitrii Juravsky, who was an executive assistant to George W. Whistler during the construction of the railway line. Juravsky performed structural analyses and tests on physical models of Howe trusses from 1843 to 1848, and executed studies of the effect of posttension in Howe trusses. He published two books "About Bridges of the Howe System" in 1855 and 1856. Juravsky was able to prove that the closer to a bridge's pillars, the greater the strain on the vertical tension bars and diagonal braces.

The other rather clever solution to the economic confines, presented by suburban and country cinema designs, was to visually express the subsidiary beams that tied the trusses together, and the system of panelling required for the lining material. This was done at the Athenaeum with all the structural and panel-framing picked out in a dark tone so the whole became a decorative geometric pattern. The horizontal section of the ceiling was divided into three segments across the width of the building. In the opposite direction the five roof trusses formed four segments, thus 12 panels were formed.

Smith, P., "Houses of the Welsh Countryside" 2nd Edition, 1988, RCHMW, 95, figs 47 and 67b The two trusses within the hall are a single pair of chamfered wooden speres or posts set in the floor and forming a box-frame which carries the roof, and a pair of arch-braced base-crucks with two tiers of cusped struts above the tie-beam, which spanned the whole width of 7.5 m. The analogies are with the partly aisled halls of important houses in north-east Wales and north-west England.“Britnell”, pp. 43–54 Gable and partition trusses, also aisled.

Clayton lit by one of the cantilevered trusses of Bad Boy lighting fixtures Due to the decision to keep the video screen unobstructed, the amount of possible lighting positions was reduced. All of the moving lighting fixtures were PRG Bad Boy spotlights, most of the high-powered variety; the fixture was chosen for its high throw distance and was made as bright as possible. Each of the four cantilevers held 16 Bad Boys, arranged on ladder-like trusses in a 4×4 arrangement, while a full row of Bad Boys was built into the top and bottom of the video screen.

The Dunmore bridge is valued by the people of the Hunter region. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. Highly rare - only combination of overhead Allan truss and lift span The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales. Highly representative of overhead braced Allan trusses: in 1998 there were 38 surviving Allan trusses in NSW of the 105 built, and 82 timber truss road bridges survive from the over 400 built.

The Waterford bridge is a single-span, eight-panel, camelback through truss. It measures long with a deck. The setting is rural, despite being just northeast of Northfield, Minnesota. The Waterford Bridge is one of the few remaining camelback through trusses in Minnesota.

John R. Price and Brothers built the substructure. The total cost for constructing the bridge was $16,000. It remained in service at this location until 1898 when it was replaced by a girder bridge. The bow string trusses were dismantled three years later.

William Bradley) Sir Robert Seppings, FRS (11 December 176725 April 1840) was an English naval architect. His experiments with diagonal trusses in the construction of ships led to his appointment as Surveyor of the Navy in 1813, a position he held until 1835.

Classrooms retain cupboards under sloping whiteboards. The understorey features exposed timber floor trusses, visible in both the classrooms and the open play space at the eastern end. Block C is connected to Block J to the north by a ground-floor covered walkway.

It was entirely rebuilt during the 9th century, during the Carolingian age. Later, bishop Anselm of Aosta further renovated the church, introducing a basilica plan with three naves with wooden trusses. These were replaced by Gothic cross vaults in the 15th century.

The club is a one-story, wood-frame vernacular meeting hall with a front gabled roof. It was erected in 1972. The rectangular building sits on a raised concrete block foundation. The roof is supported by wooden trusses and covered by asphalt shingles.

Internally, walls are rendered and all windows feature stained glass. The nave has hammer-beam trusses with a boarded ceiling. The chancel has scissor braces with a boarded ceiling. An organ gallery has been installed at the western end of the nave.

DPW, Plan A.87.134/31957, Block B alterations Further additions to the school were made in the early 1960s. Plans were drawn for the addition of Block F in 1960. This two-storey building with undercroft was supported by open-web steel trusses.

Thompson (2006), p. 39.Wood Wortman (2006), p. 6. In July 1899, the aging bridge was declared unsafe and in urgent need of rebuilding. Work to replace the structure, on the same piers, began in December 1899, with dismantling of the trusses.

More classrooms were added in 1930, 1939 and circa 1950. The roof trusses are exposed. Seats are bolted to the sloping floor, which falls to the stage at the west end. Benches are arranged on the sides, with bleachers at the east end.

The house has retained period features, including wide corner pilasters, paired brackets in the gables, and a front porch with trusses and large brackets. Charles Schuebeler was a jeweler. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

After the war ended in 1945, the bridge was rebuilt. The steel trusses of the main spans that had been a feature of the 1932 bridge were in 1948 replaced with concrete arches. By 1951 the bridge had acquired its present appearance.

It recently expanded to kitchen and bath design services with the opening of more than 30 design studios within its existing stores. The company’s stores carry a variety of materials including siding, decking, windows and trim, roofing and trusses, and much more.

There are three entrance bays, articulated by simple pilasters. The side windows are set in round-arch openings. The interior consists of an entrance vestibule, with a single large sanctuary chamber beyond. The roof is supported by scissor trusses composed of massive timbers.

They were placed between the trusses of the protruding cornice. Beautiful frames of the windows have the gothic slenderness and are made of a stone. The unique organization of the temple relates to the Italian churches from the 15th and 16th centuries.

The bridges are located at (Bridge I, further to the west, spanning overflow) and (Bridge II, further to the east, spanning the main river). The two bridges are Pratt truss through truss bridges, long. Their trusses were fabricated by the American Bridge Company.

On August 31, 2009 a semi-truck collision severely damaged the Beebe Bridge's steel trusses and beams forcing its closure. Traffic was detoured to U.S. Route 97A. The bridge was repaired and reopened on October 9, 2009 at a cost of $1.5 million.

Rhododendron 'President Roosevelt' is a popular cultivar of Rhododendron with striking variegated leaves and trusses of bright red flowers that fade to white in the centre. It is named after the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. Height 150–180 cm.

It is a 2 1/2-story, gable- roofed building with stuccoed exterior walls and massive timber roof trusses in the Mission Revival style. Other contributing resources include six paddocks (c. 1916-1920), six barns (c. 1910), harness shop (1930), farrier shop (c.

The Chinworth Bridge was built by the Bellefontaine Bridge and Iron Company of Bellefontaine, Ohio. It is a Pratt through truss. The trusses has eight panels, each long, set on abutments of cut stone. The southern abutment has been altered over the years.

It was built in 1931 by a Kansas contractor under contract to the state highway department. At the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, it was one of four known Pennsylvania through trusses in the state.

When built the bridge was one of two bridges in the world to be the first to use welded steel trusses. As built the bridge only spanned the Yarra, but in 1967 the South Eastern Arterial was built, running under the northernmost span.

The trusses feature twisted vertical tie rods. The chancel arch, also of lancet form, is lined with beaded board. Memorial for gold miner Dan BrayThe furniture reputedly dates from the church's establishment. The altar, lectern, pulpit and pews are of stained pine.

The roofs of the nave is early 15th-century with moulded crown post trusses. The scissor braced roofs to the aisles are 13th-century. The chancel roof is thought to be 19th-century. The east ends of each aisle contain a piscina.

The heights of the three towers were , , and . Recalculating the measurement using the planning and photographic evidence indicates an deck height. Howe trusses, measuring and , spanned the three piers. The confined workspace of the narrow gulch and the unstable rock foundation slowed construction.

The ten largest employers (by number of employees) in descending order, as of 2016. #FarmTek - distributor of farm supplies and manufacturer of tension fabric buildings. #Modernfold - operable and moveable walls and folding doors. #Lumber Specialties - floor and roof trusses and wall panels.

This wrench is typically attached to the belt or wrist with a lanyard, which is important because the master electrician tends to work at great height, from ladders, lift tables, catwalks, or lighting trusses, where a falling wrench may hurt people or damage property below.

ODC Construction is a residential shell contractor. It builds the structural envelope of new homes, including the foundations, masonry, framing and trusses. In 2014, the company had $70 million in revenue. In 2014 Lidsky began speaking publicly about his experiences to corporations and organizations.

Furthermore, the blast was so powerful that it blew the front door of the church off and cracked the building's plaster walls. Although the trusses have been repaired, to this day only a limited number of people can use the choir loft at one time.

A secondary span, in length, connects the bridge to the eastern shore. This span is uncovered; its trusses are sheathed in vertical siding with peaked caps. The bridge abutments are a combination of unmortared rubblestone and cut granite. The bridge was built in 1840.

A truss roof with tongue and groove sheathing. The gap in the sheathing at the ridge is the space designed to allow natural ventilation. Pre-manufactured roof trusses come in a wide variety of styles. They are designed by the manufacturer for each specific building.

The overall length is . The four-lane facility has a roadway width of . There are concrete pedestrian sidewalks outside the trusses on each side. The bridge is the 9th-longest (main span) simple truss and 9th-longest (main span) steel truss in the United States.

Methuen and Co., London: 1898. 152. Hammer beam trusses can have a single hammerbeam or multiple hammerbeams. A false hammerbeam roof (truss) has two definitions: 1) There is no hammer post on the hammer beamDavies, Nikolas, and Erkki Jokiniemi. Dictionary of architecture and building construction.

CMPP Studios has 18 sound stages ranging from 42,000 sq. ft.to 7,000 sq. ft., including a mega-stage, a perfectly square stage, and smaller insert studios. The stages offer sound deadening, laser- smooth floors, clear-spans to 40' heights, and trusses designed for heavy loads.

The facility would have been constructed on four concrete piers that extend upward from the existing viaduct with two steel trusses and concrete brace supports. It was loosely modeled after the Belvedere along Interstate 64 in Louisville, Kentucky and Fountain Square in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was completed in 1935 and initially named Taschereau Bridge. The bridge, which uses under-deck trusses on the approaches to the main suspension-type span, is the farthest downstream of the Saint Lawrence River's fixed crossings, but it does not cross the entire river.

Two iron trusses, Camelback and Pratt, comprise the main structure and are positioned on metal caissons filled with concrete. Overall length of the two truss spans is . The deck was composed of wooden planking wide, but the deck was removed after the bridge was closed.

EkoPak, a division of Ro-Marong Nigeria Limited, specializes in moulded-fibre products made from 100% recycled wastepaper and cardboard Brossette, a sister company, is a finishing division for both indoor and outdoor displays, aluminium, frames, Light-Gauge Steel Trusses and pre- fabricated Structures.

The carriage house is built with locally quarried limestone. The roof features a cupola with a weather vane, placed at the crossing of the two gables. The building is largely undecorated except for a wide bracketed cornice. The interior retains its rough cut roof trusses.

Internally, the building has been substantially altered. The original fabric is visible in some areas, including roof trusses and timber joists separated by herring-bone strutting. Ceilings of a variety of types of pressed metal and plaster remain visible in parts of the building.

Early trusses were designed without an understanding of the engineering dynamics at work. In 1847, American engineer Squire Whipple published the first correct analysis of the way a load is carried through the truss, which enabled him to design stronger bridges with fewer materials.

It is 170 metres long and consists of riveted steel trusses with two bridge piers. The bridge was blown up by the Wehrmacht in the final days of World War II, but it was rebuilt shortly afterwards in 1946. It was fully renovated in 1993.

The tower today is considered an eyesore by locals and is in poor condition. Deterioration is visible under the outer panelling to the steel trusses, as they have turned from white to brown from rust. There are no plans to reopen the tower to public.

It was designed by firms Ellerbe & Company and JR Architect.Hyatt Rengency Lexington Emporis. Retrieved on 2010-09-24 Precast prestressed concrete planks were used as the flooring system. The tower structure utilizes 56 Pratt-type trusses, each 60 feet long, in a staggered configuration.

The construction was very solid, with a limestone foundation thick and walls that were high. It had floorboards that were wide and thick. The heavy ceiling trusses supported a full slate roof. The freight house operated through 1970, when the Milwaukee Road closed it.

It is representative of, and reputed to be, the largest and most elegant purpose built rink in Australia of the mid to late 1880s. The fine wrought iron trusses and brackets are representative of the iron and steel technology of the late 19th century.

The decision was finally made to balance the need for structural improvements and durability with the structure's heritage by building the new bridge out of steel, but cladding the steel trusses in wood to preserve the original bridge's appearance."Broaden horizons in Sioux Narrows".

Tie-beam trusses allowed for much larger spans than the older prop-and-lintel system and even concrete vaulting. Nine out of the ten largest rectangular spaces in Roman architecture were bridged this way, the only exception being the groin vaulted Basilica of Maxentius.

This riveted cantilever through truss bridge has one of the more unusual designs of any Mississippi River bridge. Construction started in 1929 and was completed in 1931. The designer and chief engineer was Melvin B. Stone. The McClintic-Marshall Company of Chicago erected the trusses.

Metal connector plates. A truss connector plate, or gang plate, is a kind of tie. Truss plates are light gauge metal plates used to connect prefabricated light frame wood trusses. They are produced by punching light gauge galvanized steel to create teeth on one side.

The trusses of the swing span projected through the bridge deck, dividing the two outer lanes from the two inner lanes. This contributed to many motor vehicle collisions. In April 1915, the creosoted wood deck caught fire, with the collapse of a steel side span.

In 1904 it was rebuilt again by W. M. Irvine. Interior supports, trusses, side paneling and roof were replaced during the reconstruction. In 1968, the bridge was painted and new oak floor was installed. Temporary supports used during the floor replacement were left in place.

Fredericksburg was a major port city in the colonies in the mid- to late 18th century and The Chimneys' hipped roof framing utilizes techniques common in the construction of ships' hulls at the time. The roof is supported by three heavy king post trusses.

A major renovation programme was instituted in 1987, mainly to halt perceived structural movement. This included steel bracing, a new concrete floor and relining the walls with the present boarding. The building is timber framed, with a main interior uninterrupted by supports, the space being spanned by bolted and laminated timber trusses, held on stout sawn timber posts. The trusses, which divide the structure into six bays, have bottom chords arranged so as to impart an approximately semicircular form, springing from about 2 metres above the level of the concrete floor, and top chords supporting a pitched roof iron, springing from wall plate height.

A ceiling of tongue and groove boards is fixed between the bottom chord of the trusses with a section of double beaded boarding over the entrance to the middle bay. The library walls and ceiling are lined with flat sheeting and the timber floor throughout is lined with carpet. There are two later offices in the library that are not of cultural significance, one in the western corner and one in the eastern corner which has a raised floor level. Bay 2 has unfinished timber floors, unpainted timber wall linings except around the arched door openings, and king post trusses that have a painted finish.

The trusses for the third Sixth Street Bridge were fabricated by the Union Bridge Company. This company had been formed in 1884 by the merging of the Central Bridge Company of Buffalo, New York, and Kellogg and Maurice of Athens, Pennsylvania. The Buffalo plant was closed around 1890, so presumably the trusses were produced in the shops which remained at Athens. Coraopolis Bridge with newer pony truss at left, from SE (Coraopolis side) The superstructure was erected by the Baird Brothers, John and William, who first advertised in the Pittsburgh and Allegheny City Directory in 1886 as contractors located at Home and Valley Streets.

Because of the urgency to finish the project, the construction of the building relied heavily on off-site prefabrication; components were manufactured all over the world. For example, the structural steel came from Britain; the glass, aluminium cladding and flooring came from the United States while the service modules came from Japan. The inverted 'va' segments of the suspension trusses spanning the construction at double-height levels is the most obvious characteristic of the building. It consists of eight groups of four aluminium-clad steel columns which ascend from the foundations up through the core structure, and five levels of triangular suspension trusses which are locked into these masts.

Original Tay Bridge from the north Construction began in 1871 of a bridge to be supported by brick piers resting on bedrock. Trial borings had shown the bedrock to lie at no great depth under the river. At either end of the bridge, the bridge girders were deck trusses, the tops of which were level with the pier tops, with the single track railway running on top. However, in the centre section of the bridge (the "high girders") the bridge girders ran as through trusses above the pier tops (with the railway inside them) in order to give the required clearance to allow passage of sailing ships to Perth.

Astoria-Megler Bridge is North America's longest continuous truss bridge. Smaller continuous truss bridge over the Illinois River at Lacon, Illinois The Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge A continuous truss bridge is a truss bridge which 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 entire load. Although some continuous truss bridges resemble cantilever bridges and may be constructed using cantilever techniques, there are important differences between the two forms.

It is a single-span structure long, with a portal clearance of and a total structure height of . It is set on abutments fashioned out of large rough-cut granite blocks; the southern abutment has been reinforced in the 20th century with concrete. The bridge's trusses are a modified Howe truss, in which the king posts near the center of the span have been doubled, and some of the cross braces have also been doubled. Crossbeams join the trusses below the roadbed, which is built out of stringers that parallel the bed, planking running side to side, and a pair of spaced wheel runways.

They were similar to Allan trusses, but contain improvements which make them stronger and easier to maintain. This engineering enhancement represents a significant evolution of the design of timber truss bridges, and gives Dare trusses some technical significance. The Bulga Bridge is particularly technically significant because it has very large supporting trestles, has the rare feature of trussed cross girders, and is the largest span Dare truss bridge built. The bridge is located in the Hunter region, which has 15 historic bridges each constructed before 1905, and it gains heritage significance from its proximity to the high concentration of other historic bridges in the area.

In later years, some were partly made of stone or metal but the trusses were usually still made of wood; in the United States, there were three styles of trusses, the Queen Post, the Burr Arch and the Town Lattice. Hundreds of these structures still stand in North America. They were brought to the attention of the general public in the 1990s by the novel, movie, and play The Bridges of Madison County. In 1927 welding pioneer Stefan Bryła designed the first welded road bridge in the world, the Maurzyce Bridge which was later built across the river Słudwia at Maurzyce near Łowicz, Poland in 1929.

Construction of the bridge was carried out by the French Batignolles Construction Company (Société de Construction des Batignolles), beginning in March 1907 and ending in December 1908. On either side of the bridge are two tunnels carved out of mountains on either side of the gorge, with a single span of (measured between the heels of the supporting trusses) stretching between them. The bridge's total length from end to end is . The bridge is supported by a three-hinged metal arch, consisting of two triangular trusses arranged similarly to the leaves of a bascule bridge, with the appearance of a widely opened, inverted letter V—hence the name "Inverted V bridge".

Entry porch at Richards Medical Research Laboratories. The ceiling exposes concrete structural elements that are bound together with internal cables to form Vierendeel trusses. For the eight-story Richards Medical Research Laboratories (1957–1965) in Philadelphia, PA, Komendant engineered the structure of pre- cast and pre-stressed concrete columns, beams and trusses that were trucked in from a factory and fitted together with a crane. Hydraulic tension was then applied to internal post-tensioning cables running in all three dimensions, locking the structural elements into place something like a child's toy that is floppy until its parts are pulled together tightly with a string.

Once bedrock was reached a flat area was quarried out and long anchor bolts were sunk into the rock below. The seven cut stone bridge piers were then constructed inside the cofferdams, starting from bedrock, building up to a level about 4 or 5 feet above the surface of the water in the strait. The bridge trusses had been prefabricated in Montreal by the Dominion Bridge Company, and were shipped to Grand Narrows. An iron forge was set up on the site for the express purpose of producing rivets, and assembly of the trusses was started, first onshore, and then completed on scows floating in the water.

Hermann Alexander Müller: Biographisches Künstler-Lexikon, published by the Bibliographischen Instituts, Leipzig, 1882, p. 379 f. The bridges themselves were built as steel trusses. Their total length was about 270 metres, the railway bridge was 7.5 metres wide and the road bridge was 6.5 metres wide.

Roof trusses in the Thomas Ranck Round Barn, IndianaThe lower level has a concrete floor with access from the north. Stock pens are arranged around the perimeter. A central circular walkway allows access to all of the stalls. An interior stairway leads to the main level.

Pews with foliate moldings on their scrolled, curved handrails, surround it on three sides. The walls and ceiling are finished in wallboard with applied battens. A narrow strip old wooden molding makes a course around the interior at windowsill level. The ceiling has exposed wooden trusses.

This design involved careful and exact alignment of truss members and chords manufactured of cast iron that was regarded as a progressive building material for its time. Beleloubski also proposed an innovative constructive solution: the transverse floor-beams of trusses were connected by hinges to bottom chords.

Trusses usually occur at regular intervals, linked by longitudinal timbers such as purlins. The space between each truss is known as a bay. Rafters have a tendency to flatten under gravity, thrusting outwards on the walls. For larger spans and thinner walls, this can topple the walls.

Some types of historic houses are called plank houses but plank house has several meanings which are discussed below. Roofs were almost always framed with wood, sometimes with timber roof trusses. Stone and brick buildings also have some wood framing for floors, interior walls and roofs.

It was designed by Modjeski and Masters of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with foundations constructed by Brown and Root of Houston and trusses fabricated by Bethlehem Steel Company of Chicago. Because of material rationing during World War II, War Production Board approval was required before proceeding with fabrication.

James Thomas Engineering (JTE) is a British manufacturing company based in Worcester, Worcestershire. From 1990, the company also has offices in Knoxville, Tennessee. The company manufactures stage lighting equipment and stage rigging equipment, such as trusses, PAR lamp enclosures and more recently LED stage lighting equipment.

Each of the 10 trusses over the piers was long and painted dark red. They had a clearance of just over the high- water mark. The roadway was just wide, and consisted of oak plans over iron beams. Unlike the previous bridges, there was no draw span.

The remaining exterior windows are slender and pointed, with leaded glass inserts. On the interior is a vestibule with pointed windows, after which is the sanctuary. The sanctuary contains pews, doors, wainscoting, and window frames of dark wood. Wooden hammerbeam trusses support the gable roof above.

The Warren truss design consists of alternating equilateral triangles along the sides of the bridge; the bridge has two sets of overlapping Warren trusses on each side, making it double intersectional. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 1999.

Internally, in the tenancies at each end, roof trusses are still visible. From the basement of some of the tenancies herring-bone strutting can be seen between the joists of the floors above. Some of the floor levels have been modified to suit the different tenancies.

They open by sliding along tracks to the inside of the wall. The floor is of wide raw cypress pine boards, which are hand-scrubbed clean to retain their bleached appearance. The exposed roof framing and trusses have been stained. All the major members are stop chamfered.

Timber trusses support the roof, which is unlined. In places, the timber beams have been replaced by steel. The floor is concrete. In the south- east corner room, a boiler and industrial steam engine were once housed here and were used to power the factory's machines.

In the temple, red is used on roof purlins, trusses and doors. Green, which signifies the officials of lower rank, is associated with the water element. In the temple, green is used on roof rafters, roof tiles of the boundary walls and background colour of the plaques.

'Daegu Opera House (') is an opera house located in Buk-gu, Daegu, South Korea. The opera house is a concrete structure reinforced with steel trusses, and seats 1490 people. The six-story building was constructed between 2000 and 2003, at a total cost of 44 billion won.

These openings are protected by the deep flanking side verandahs, which may be used as aisles. The ceiling is lined in tongue and groove timber boards and the timber trusses supporting the roof are exposed. Flooring throughout is timber boarding. Significant church furniture includes early timber pews.

One $280,000 repair was made in 1975. Other repairs were completed in 1978 and 1979. The Marshall Steel Company of Laval, Quebec was awarded one contract for over $740,000 to strengthen trusses on the bridge. Long-term upgrades were needed to achieve a load capacity of .

The bridge carried a single-track railway on an open deck (with transomes). It spans were , , three at , and . The four shorter approach spans were timber girders. The three spans were timber trusses of the Howe-type with timber compression diagonals, vertical tension rods and six bays.

These were also replaced by welded, deck plate web girders in 1998. Two further tracks were added for the sextuplication during 1925-27, on the northern side of the viaduct, for which three pairs of riveted steel, deck Warren trusses were erected. They are still in use.

The chancel wagon roof was replaced in 1883 and consists of 18 close-set arch-braced trusses springing from wall-plates with trefoil-headed panels. The section over the altar is a restored medieval canopy with moulded arch braces and four purlins. The bosses have been recently re-gilded.

It was 1,750 feet long, with four Whipple trusses on stone masonry piers and three deck spans at each end. It was the first double-track railway bridge across the Missouri River. The 1888 bridge also became obsolete. The peak year for American railroad track mileage was 1916.

The powerhouse is a rectangular brick building with a gabled concrete roof supported by riveted steel Fink trusses. The end walls are five bays wide with stepped parapets at the gables. Original window openings have been bricked in. Side elevations are three bays wide, also with infilled window openings.

On petioles, stolons, calyxes, and fruit trusses, elongated lesions may form and interfere with water transport in the plant, weakening the plant and making it more susceptible to invasion by a secondary organism. The fungus may infect the fruit in the form of black seed disease, discoloring the achenes.

There [are] lattice, v-lacing, and members all over. This > large amount of complexity is balanced by the simple, graceful appearance of > the arched top chord.

Lift shafts exist on the central axis of the building. The roof is a pitched roof on king-post trusses finished with Marseilles tiles of Australian make. Extensive box- gutters run around the perimeter of the 1903 roofs. Internal walls are finished with lime plaster, repaired with cement render.

Rafters would be fixed atop the slab walls, and a pitched roof erected. The dimensions of the hut would be kept small, to avoid the need for roof trusses. Joists were not always laid, and a ceiling was not always included. A Queensland example can be seen here.

There are three construction docks immediately west of the southern abutment of the Hawkesbury River Rail Bridge. Only one of these is in RailCorp ownership. The docks were used for the construction of the steel trusses of the 1946 bridge. They are formed from rectangular cuttings into the bedrock.

The ceiling is finely finished with bosses at the intersection of the moulded principals and purlins. It was inserted in 1882–84.W. Gwyn Thomas, "The Chancel of Llanbadarn Fawr Church" (1978) 127 Archaeologia Cambrensis 127–129. This ceiling conceals the mediaeval trusses of the fifteenth century ceiling.

In the kitchen, the fireplace has a wooden lintel, a niche to the right and the remains of the original stone staircase also to the right. The upper storey has wooden partitioning, some of which may be eighteenth century. and the roof is supported by two collar-beam trusses.

The city was responsible for building the concrete substructure. The bridge was completed in the fall of 1896, and is composed of four spans. The span length is , and its total length is . The span is a Baltimore deck truss bridge with Pratt deck trusses at both ends.

The main section of the building has steel trusses and beams. It was modified in 1949 after the city took ownership in 1945. In 2017, a city of West Point webpage indicates that events are now held at the new Nielsen Community Center instead of at the auditorium.

It had two side spans and carries a wide roadway with two sidewalks. It used stiffening trusses that are deep. Each of the main suspender cables were in diameter, and consisted of 37 strands of 37 wires. The deck was above water level to allow passage of large ships.

There are also six exterior brick buttresses. Old gas holder as photographed for Historic American Engineering Record in 1998 Its roof is supported by radial wood rafters with wood purlins and two transverse bow trusses. The floor is poured concrete. Windows, a vent and service exit were added later.

Brick buttresses shore up the steel I-beams that supported the hoist. V-trusses sheathed in tongue-and-groove pocket into the interior walls, producing the eaves. The only interior partitition separates the easternmost bay. On that side of the building, outside, are modern transformers and other equipment.

Its principal nave was 190 metres (630 ft) long, and 48 metres (158 ft) wide. It was surrounded on four sides by aisles two stories high, and 30 metres (98 ft) wide. Its semi-circular trusses bridged a 24-metre (80 ft) span to create an enormous exhibition room.

A small stone bell tower was once mounted above the western gable but was taken down before 1875. Internally the chapel has fine Gothic proportions. It has finely crafted timber trusses with collar ties and a timber ceiling above. The stonework has been painted and the ecclesiastical accoutrements removed.

Above the door is a recessed sandstone panel inscribed "MBWS & DB 1911". Rainwater goods consist of colourbond gutters and downpipe. Internally there are exposed timber trusses arranged in a cruciform pattern framing the ventilation shaft. Walls are of painted picked sandstone with rubbed sandstone door and window dressings.

Windows are multi-paned casements with lancet arched tops. Gable ends are finished in sheet material decorated with vertical timber strips. The interior is lined with horizontal tongue-in-groove boarding and has an open ceiling with exposed scissor trusses. Some of these have been stiffened with steel rods.

New York's system also includes information on the material trusses are constructed from. The states of Florida, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, and Mississippi; along with the cities of San Francisco, CA, Chesapeake, VA and Acushnet, MA have laws requiring posting of a truss warning placard on structures.

The bridge was closed from Wednesday 18 July until Friday 20 July 2018 between the hours of 9 am and 3.30 pm, weather permitting. The maintenance included tightening the bridge’s decking and trusses, as weather conditions over the last year may have caused them to contract or expand.

The ColourMags were controlled by LSD's Simon Carus-Wilson, who had worked with Williams on the Sound+Vision Tour. Two lighting trusses were used to illuminate the audience, consisting of ACL wash fixtures for "little pools of light", eight fixtures to initially brighten the venue, and ultraviolet wash light.

It has plaster walls and simple architrave door and window surrounds. The doors are paneled oak; other woodwork is stained in dark walnut. To the north the education wing has plain walls of painted concrete block; the fellowship hall has a large ceiling on laminated Tudor arched trusses.

It measured in width and in length. It was constructed using prefabricated parts, with a wood and iron frame resting on a substructure of 672 stone piers. Wrought iron roof trusses were supported by the columns of the superstructure. The building took eighteen months to complete and cost $1,580,000.

The bridges are through trusses and are painted a traditional "bridge green". In 1997, a major rebuild of the deck of the older span began and was completed in 2000. Safety compliant railings were installed on the older span. In 2013-2014, the northbound span received upgraded railings.

The building has a cut stone foundation with a structure of red brick (common bond with steel reinforcement) and sandstone. The drill hall is significant for the large uninterrupted span of its steel trusses. A second story on the west side was added some time after original construction.

A 60-story building under construction in Shanghai. The truss sections (made of triangular struts) will house mechanical floors. Some skyscrapers have narrow building cores that require stabilization to prevent collapse. Typically this is accomplished by joining the core to the external supercolumns at regular intervals using outrigger trusses.

The underside of the roof is lined by a membrane. Werner Sobek designed the roof, which is held in place by 48 -long trusses. The west and east sides are joined by two identical structures that have a free span of . The total east-west roof length is .

For example, the wing spar in a small aircraft may in fact be a simple I-beam with a solid cross-section, but in a larger design the upright part of the beam or "web" will be constructed as an open lattice of trusses in a triangulated structure.

North side, showing all three periodsThe exterior of the current structure reflects three periods of rebuilding. The East end is the oldest part, dating from the 14th or 15th century. It is a hall house supported by cruck trusses. The interior was later divided by an inserted floor.

Exposed steel trusses over main space. Enclosed verandah along north facade added and wider door and sidelight installed in south wall (date unknown). Exposed-duct air conditioning introduced with bulkhead at eastern end of hall. External ducting and plant for air conditioning at west end of hall intrusive element.

The understorey combines open play space and enclosed areas for teaching and storage; it has a concrete floor that steps down at the junction between the 1954 and 1958 sections. The floor structure of the classrooms above is exposed; the bearers of the 1954 sections are supported on concrete piers, while the 1958 section has open timber trusses. Awning windows, with fanlights and a continuous flat hood, are set between the trusses on the southern wall of the 1958 section and modern louvres enclose the northern side. The open play area under the B&P; section retains original timber bracing fins either side of an opening in the southern, single-skin wall.

He examined the broken parts of the main girder, and confirmed that the girder had broken in two places, the first break occurring at the center. He tested the remaining girders by driving a locomotive across them, and found that they deflected by several inches under the moving load. He concluded that the design was flawed, and that the wrought iron trusses fixed to the girders did not reinforce the girders at all, which was a conclusion also reached by the jury at the inquest. Stephenson's design had depended on the wrought iron trusses to strengthen the final structures, but they were anchored on the cast iron girders themselves, and so deformed with any load on the bridge.

They not only used it for walls but also to form arches, barrel vaults and domes, which they built over huge spans. The Romans developed systems of hollow pots for making their domes and sophisticated heating and ventilation systems for their thermal baths. . The Romans substituted bronze for wood in the roof truss(s) of the Pantheon's portico which was commissioned between 27 BC and 14 AD. The bronze trusses were unique but in 1625 Pope Urban VIII had the trusses replaced with wood and melted the bronze down for other uses. The Romans also made bronze roof tiles Lead was used for roof covering material and water supply and waste pipes.

Another view of the Siduhe River Bridge The bridge's design includes H-shaped towers, a truss-stiffened main span, and unsuspended side spans. The Warren-type trusses were constructed in 71 sections with the largest section weighing . The trusses are tall and wide.Wang 2009, p. 79. "A steel truss of the Warren type divided into 71 sections was used for the superstructure. The truss height is 6.5 m and the width is 26.0 m. The panel point spacing is 6.4 m, and the truss sections are connected at each panel point." The height measurement from the bottom of the gorge has been reported as by Eric Sakowski, by Chongxu Wang, and by Yinbo Liu.

S1 truss P1 truss The P1 and S1 trusses (also called the Port and Starboard Side Thermal Radiator Trusses) are attached to the S0 truss, and contain carts to transport the Canadarm2 and astronauts to worksites along the space station. They each flow 290 kg (637 lb) of anhydrous ammonia through three heat rejection radiators. 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 was 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 1999.

Othmar Ammann, a leading bridge designer and member of the Federal Works Agency Commission investigating the collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, wrote: Following the incident, engineers took extra caution to incorporate aerodynamics into their designs, and wind-tunnel testing of designs was eventually made mandatory. The Bronx Whitestone Bridge, which is of similar design to the 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, was reinforced shortly after the collapse. Fourteen-foot-high (4.3 m) steel trusses were installed on both sides of the deck in 1943 to weigh down and stiffen the bridge in an effort to reduce oscillation. In 2003, the stiffening trusses were removed and aerodynamic fiberglass fairings were installed along both sides of the road deck.

The trusses are formed out of rolled I-beams that were assembled on site using hydraulic riveting, a technology introduced in the 1920s. The decking consists of pavement laid on concrete over I-beams that are mounted on the truss bottom chords and riveted to their vertical elements. The bridge was built in 1937, and was built using standards and technologies introduced by the state during a bridge-building program introduced after a major flooding event in the state in 1927. It is a well-preserved example of a Pratt truss of the period, and the riveting technology enabled the bridge to be fabricated on site, rather than shipping the trusses from a factory.

A queen post bridge has two upright queen posts on either side, each placed about one-third of the way along the span, connected across the top by a beam. (In comparison, each side of a king post bridge has a single king post in the center of the span.) A diagonal brace runs between the top of the queen post and the outer edge. Queen post bridges can span greater distances than single-upright king post bridges. The queen post truss bridge is of ancient origin, and both king post and queen post trusses were constructed from timber from the Middle Ages through early American history, and used for roof trusses and bridges.

Bottom Feeder lifted more than during more than 100 subsea lift operations in its first four seasons of operation. Upon reviewing the operating experience and refit plans, Versabar realized that modifications to increase hook height and lifting capacity of Bottom Feeder would be better accomplished with a completely new build. However, the larger trusses planned for VB-10,000 each weighed , meaning that each truss would have to be built in two separate sections and then mated together, as none of the cranes at the yard were capable of lifting a completed truss. Falsework was used to support one section while the two sections were welded together, and self-propelled modular transporters moved the trusses onto one barge.

Bridges have served this location at least as early as 1833. A nineteenth-century fieldstone pier supports the present bridge on the north end may date to an earlier bridge at the site, called Evans Bridge after Peter Evans, whose plantation, Egypt, lay on the south bank of the river. In 1979 the bridge was one of thirty-five bridges (including eight camelback trusses) formally determined eligible for the National Register as important examples of metal truss engineering technology in the state from 1880 to 1935, and for associations with transportation improvements in the state in the early twentieth century. Today Truss Bridge #155 is one of only four camelback trusses surviving in North Carolina.

The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales. Lewisham viaduct with the Warren Trusses which has remained largely intact has local aesthetic significance as it forms a significant landmark in the local area. The viaduct has state technical significance as at the time of its construction in the 1850s, it was the largest structure on line and to date it is the largest underbridge on this section of the railway. The Whipple Truss displayed on site and the Warren Trusses which are still in use exemplify the technology employed for railway underbridges during the late 19th and early 20th century.

Its substructure, including abutments and piers, as well as electric mechanisms for the swing span, were replaced. The original trusses were restored to maintain the bridge's historic appearance. The project was largely funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. which provided $17.2 million for the $19.8 million project.

The windows all have arches of contrasting tuck pointed brickwork. A rear addition exists with a low pitched gable roof. Internally the hall has its original floor of wide timber boards, painted brick walls, exposed king post trusses and boarded timber ceiling. The original fireplace in the east wall survives.

The roof is supported by steel trusses supporting wood decking. The original Fairebanks-Morse diesel generators are still in place, surrounded by access catwalks. A bridge crane used to service the generators remains intact. The interior has been infilled with a freestanding multilevel structure to accommodate storage and office functions.

At first, the steeple was left in ruins. Its reconstruction began in 1704 and was completed in 1709. An octagonal extension in brick was erected on top of the remains of the square tower base using trusses. The tower was topped with a bell-shaped roof with a cupola and point.

The ceiling is built on large wooden trusses that hold up ornately painted ceiling panels. Large stained glass clerestory windows line the walls of the main nave and depict different saints. Narrow windows light the side aisles. All of the windows in the church were created by Emil Frei, Inc.

Southern California architect Frank Gehry led the renovation of the Albert C. Martin, Sr.-designed 1947 Union Hardware buildings. Gehry left the exteriors intact, except for new entrance doors, and built a canopy of chain-link fencing and steel trusses over the closed-off street, to form a partially shaded plaza.

The main part of the roof is supported on crown post trusses with the aisle roofs formed by raking rafters between the wall studs and the main truss posts. The barn belonged to St Augustine's, Canterbury, and was originally one of a pair, but the other burnt down in 1962.

Kimaya is an open-air theatre on the north side of the campus. It was conceived by litterateur and alumni PL Deshpande on his return from a visit to Japan. It encompasses elements of modern architecture and is built without beams. It has eight walls fused together, which function as trusses.

Liegender stuhl trusses in Europe are found in Switzerland and Germany. The wood shingles on the roof are also a rare type for America. The Barnett Bobb Log House was moved to this location in 1968. Note: This includes It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

February 2012. The church was gutted by fire on Good Friday 1850, and restored between 1851 and 1854 by Philip Hardwick. It was further restored by Julian Harrap between 1983 and 1993, when tubular steel trusses were added to support the roof. The church was Grade I listed in 1950.

Typically, covered bridges are structures with longitudinal timber- trusses which form the bridge's backbone. Some were built as railway bridges, using very heavy timbers and doubled up lattice work. Most bridges were built to cross streams, and the majority had just a single span. Virtually all contained a single lane.

Original beams and trusses installed in the 1950s. Photo by Kevin Todora. Patricia Meadows founded Dallas Contemporary, originally known as the D’Art Visual Arts Center, in 1978. In its original form, the museum hosted annual exhibitions of artwork created by its members and offered rental exhibition space to emerging artists.

The renovation project also involved repairing major structural damage to the Nave's roof trusses. It addressed acoustical problems with the space and saw the installation of a new energy-efficient lighting system. The new organ was inaugurated with a series of concerts in fall/winter 2015-16.Opus 140, C.B. Fisk.

The top floor features a steep boarded ceiling above timber trusses which are supported at each end on three turned timber columns. Fretting stonework to the ground floor has been cement-rendered to imitate the original pick-faced and margined stones. The building is generally intact both externally and internally.

The centre has received the award of UK Centre of the Year by the Fitness Industry Association (FIA) on four occasions. The building is of noteworthy design, featuring extensive glazing within the walls and roof trusses which are supported on external columns.Hillsborough Residents Association. Gives some details on Leisure Centre.

A roof can be formed by gradually sloping the walls inward to construct a dome. Vaulted roofs can be built on forms. Or a bond beam is used under a traditional roof type. Hip roofs, gable-type trusses or vigas may be needed to reduce outward stress on earthen walls.

An old cabin, located nearby, was the source of the clear poplar used for the joists, side posts, and the nail ties on the bridge. For the trusses, again, maple and oak trees found on the farm were used. All of this helped keep the final cost of the bridge down.

Original wooden supports, roof beams and trusses also remain, along with corrugated iron roofing. The majority of the walls are open and the roofed area has dirt floors. Two brick kilns, with chimneys, remain. Located at the base of the kilns are a number of openings with arched brick lintels.

The connection breaks when Barrabás reappears on the roof and is shot down. Révész arrives in the body of Barrabás and greets the ghosts. Rádiós (confusing him with the gangster) knocks him down and trusses him up. Before Üteg arrives Barrabás is hidden and the ghosts go to the cubbyhole.

A rivalry formed between the two crews, likely making the assembly go faster, as the trusses were connected on January 10, 1905, after twenty-eight working days. The total construction time was four months, using a total of forty-five men. The bridge was formally opened on March 20, 1905.

The chapel is a brick Neo-Gothic building with one nave and a shallow chancel. From the street, the nave is preceded by a vestibule. The choir is covered with a cross vault; the nave has open timbered roof trusses. The interior of the nave is illuminated by the arched window.

A framer in the United States nailing the roof decking to prefabricated trusses using a nail gun. His tool belt and safety glasses are typical. Hearing protection and fall arrest equipment is missing. A framer is someone who frames (shapes or gives shape to), or someone who constructs."Framer". def. 1.

It is a simple gable roofed building enclosing a single large space. Small offices are ranged along the east of the large space. The building is framed with timber, with corrugated galvanised iron sheeting and timber boarded lining. The corrugated iron roof is supported by timber and angled steel trusses.

Tugbong now enjoys many of the modern conveniences. It has electricity, water, televisions, cellphone and Internet access. The post war bridge made of GI trusses is now a well engineered concrete bridge. It has barangay hall, a well constructed basketball/tennis court, Church and an all purpose stage for community affairs.

Grading began in 1922 and the large concrete pedestal foundations were finished near the end of 1923. The steel trusses were begun in early 1924. By November the concrete deck was complete and New York Governor Alfred E. Smith formally opened the bridge, naming it the Alfred H Smith Memorial Bridge.

The roof trusses are typically Chinese, decorated with carvings and simple brackets. The main doors are painted with pictures of the Door Gods. Its colour scheme of light blue and brown is rather subdued when compared to other temples. The main altar is dedicated to the main deity (Nine Emperor).

The Iowa State Highway Commission designed this bridge in 1927. It was composed of two riveted Pratt and two Parker through trusses. The contract to build the structure was awarded in November 1927 to the A. Olson Construction Company of Waterloo, Iowa for $77,900. It was completed later in 1928.

Most notable of those are the open beam ceiling in the nave, constructed of black walnut. These trusses provided support for the heavy English tile roof, yet kept the worship area free of cumbersome columns. Black walnut was used extensively throughout the interior for trim, window frames, and other ancillary features.

The pre-pollen was produced by sporangia that formed regular clusters (synangia). The stratigraphically older lyginopteridaleans had trusses of synangia borne on slender axes, which were attached to vegetative fronds;Jennings, J. R. (1976). "The morphology and relationships of Rhodea, Telangium, Telangiopsis, and Heterangium." American Midland Naturalist, 36: 331-361.

It is one of the earliest bridges with a deck truss design which was built by the State Engineer and, with the Little Hell Canyon Bridge, is one of the two earliest deck truss bridges in the state. The cantilevered ends are unique in Arizona among trusses built for vehicular process.

The north meeting room features paneled mahogany wainscoting, built-in trophy cases and a glazed brick fireplace with wooden overmantel. The drill shed is a large barrel vaulted space with balcony on all sides allowing seating for 2,300. It has massive arched trusses and is lit and ventilated via a clerestory.

The toll-free bridge is long and is wide. Two lanes of traffic (with a curb but no shoulder) are carried by the bridge. The longest of its three spans is in length. The trusses are riveted steel, and the deck is cast-in-place concrete (with no membranes or weathering protection).

Opened on 15 June 1898, the Morpeth Bridge is a timber trestle bridge employing Allan trusses. It has two central iron cylinder span supports fabricated by Mort's Dock. It is managed by the Roads and Maritime Services. The bridge was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 20 June 2000.

For the roof design wood trusses were added. Even though it was meant to be a customs building, its function changed several times. In 1960 it started to function as a fish market. With the restructuring efforts in 2003–2004, Konak Pier gain its current look and function as upmarket shopping center.

At , Columbia Coliseum was the largest sports venue in Oregon (and possibly the Pacific Northwest) when it opened in 1903. At the highest point, the ceilings were . The gymnasium was constructed with trusses so no support beams would obstruct the playing area. The building featured natural light from glass skylights in the ceiling.

South Washington Street Parabolic Bridge is a historic Lenticular truss bridge located at Binghamton in Broome County, New York. It was constructed in 1886 and spans the Susquehanna River. It is composed of three identical through trusses with an overall length of 484 feet. The bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in 1969.

Ray Miller. The building is constructed of reinforced concrete with a stucco overlay. The roof of the church is 60 feet high at its highest point; the bell tower is 100 feet high. The ceiling of the church is structured with redwood beams and trusses to resemble the inside of a ship's hull.

Ornamental railings on the bridge The bridge is in length, consisting of four parallel cord through Pratt trusses made of wrought iron. The roadway is narrow at wide with two lanes. Along each side is a sidewalk with ornamental railings. The piers and abutments are masonry and built of local Grand River limestone.

The roof dates from the 15th century; it is an open timber roof consisting of four king post trusses with side struts. The chancel arch is Norman in style. The font dates from the 14th century. It consists of a square bowl on a pedestal; the bowl has trefoils and plain rounded decorations.

As originally built, the church had a four-bay nave and two further bays in the chancel, which also had a transept. A porch led into the nave on the west side. Inside, below the roof trusses, there was a gallery at the west end. Fittings included a reredos and a marble altar.

East Window by Edward Burne Jones and reredos. The chancel has a wooden barrel vaulted ceiling, the trusses supported by corbels bearing stiff leaf decoration. The altar is on steps of Devonshire marble installed in 1898. The reredos, the carved screen behind the altar, is of alabaster and was installed in 1903.

On the northern side is the square, sturdy bell tower. The interior is on the Latin cross plan, with a nave and a transept. The apse, with a quadrangular plan, was rebuilt in 1664. To the same age dated the barrel vault of nave, which has been replaced by the current wooden trusses.

A GSL service barge pontoon is a non self-propelled yardcraft built by Goa Shipyard Limited for the Indian Navy. The pontoon is a catamaran having rectangular shaped, flat-bottomed hulls. The hulls are connected by trusses of round pipes and steel deck transverse beams. Each hull is divided into eight watertight compartments.

The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods. The deck is made from oak planks. Added later, secondary steel I-beams support the bridge from underneath. The bridge is painted red on the outside, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges.

It is 103 feet long and 13 feet wide. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges, on both the inside and outside.

The sanctuary is sparely furnished. Gently curved wooden pews with scroll armrests and recessed end panels flank the center aisle, leading to the altar. Its wooden flooring is now carpeted; the plaster walls have beaded wainscoting. Above, the wooden trusses with chamfered lower chords and collar ties that frame the roof are exposed.

They lead to a ceiling, 29 feet (8.8 m) high, paneled in native spruce wainscoting. At the ceiling are four trusses with windbeams. The rear wing was originally a "lesson room", but has since been converted into a kitchen and meeting room. It is connected to the auditorium by a swinging double door.

The P2 and S2 trusses were planned as locations for rocket thrusters in the original design for Space Station Freedom. Since the Russian parts of the ISS also provided that capability, the reboost capability of the Space Station Freedom design was no longer needed at that location. So P2 and S2 were canceled.

The Gorkha Bridge is a cantilever footbridge connecting Sirdibas and Kerauja, Gorkha in Nepal. It was constructed with the help of the Department for International Development, engineers from Switzerland, and 400 local workers. The bridge cost approximately NPR 38 million, and was constructed by attaching the trusses to the side of a cliff.

The local workers were taught mountaineering skills to be able to work on the cliff face. The bridge was built by drilling into the cliff to provide locations to attach steel trusses and a platform. The whole project cost around NPR 38 million (~ $320,000). Materials were delivered to the valley by helicopter.

This bridge conveys the (ex-Great Central Railway) Doncaster-to- Hull railway over the Navigation. The bridge consists of two single-span decks, both with above deck trusses. The older south deck (pictured here) is no longer used. The north deck accommodates both tracks of what is now a double-track railway.

Plan dimensions of the building are approximately 64m x 39m. The building is located next to the eastern side of Building 88. Lightly framed wrought iron roof trusses span between the masonry walls and support the roof. Originally corrugated galvanised iron, the roof has been corrugated asbestos cement and is currently zincalume.

Instead, I-beam girders gave the bridge an Art Deco streamlined appearance. After the 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, a bridge of similar design, trusses were added on the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge to minimize the span's oscillations. Further modifications to the bridge were made in 1988–1991 and in 2003–2005.

Double doors on the west side open to steps down to the street. Inside, the nave follows a traditional linear plan with a central aisle between wooden pews. Wainscoting rises to the ceiling and its exposed trusses, all darkened by finishings. The chancel has a tiled floor and vaulted ceiling finished with wainscoting.

The Jhelum Bridge () is situated between Jhelum and Sarai Alamgir on Jhelum River in Pakistan. This bridge was built in 1878 by the British engineer William St. John Galwey. It is composed of iron trusses over many concrete piers. It has single railway track and a road on one side of the track.

The centerpiece of the complex is the lodge building. In plan the lodge is a Roman cross with a main section about by with crossing wings and an end extension. The lodge appears to have two stories but is in fact single story construction. The gabled roof is supported by log trusses.

St Ceidio's is constructed of rubble masonry, dressed with freestone. The roof is made of slate, and there is a stone 19th-century bellcote at the west end. The roof trusses can be seen from the inside. Entrance is through a round-headed doorway in the north wall at the west end.

It has a window similar to its counterpart upfront, without the flanking colonettes. Above it are the exposed trusses, without any vergeboards. The two sections on the rear of the cross-section have narrow windows in their exposed basement and a single tripartite lancet-arched stained-glass window in the second story.

Internally the cottages typically have timber floors and internal gyprock lining. Building 8 has caneite ceilings, wood grained panelling and exposed trusses. Previously, most of these buildings had internal lining containing asbestos which has been replaced. Internally Building 4 seems to retain the most intact room layout, although the doors have been extended.

The timber school building with Metal Open Web Floor Trusses (Block D) is a long, two storey building with cantilevered metal open web floor trusses supported on rectangular concrete columns and a northern verandah. The eastern and western end walls and some ground floor enclosures are facebrick, with the remainder of the building's exterior clad in flat sheets and profiled metal. Concrete stairs, located at the eastern and western ends of the building, provide access to the first-floor verandah and classrooms and have metal handrails. The first floor verandah has a timber floor, square timber posts and bag racks that form a balustrade; while the ground floor verandah has a concrete slab floor, profiled metal ceiling, circular metal posts and bag racks.

The layout of the classroom blocks, the covered links between them and associated open spaces, reflect the mid-1950s introduction of organic master planning, which responded to the site contours and provided for ordered growth from a nucleus. Blocks A and B incorporate Boulton & Paul timber units, which demonstrate the introduction and adoption of imported prefabricated systems by the Queensland Government in response to acute building material shortages and population growth in the post-World War II period. Blocks A, D and E incorporate structural systems (timber trusses Block A, steel open-web trusses blocks D and E) that illustrate the evolution of Department of Public Works designs during the mid to late 1950s to allow for unimpeded play space under highset timber school buildings.

The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. The bridge is of state heritage significance as it is one of only two early Australian bridges built with Australian iron (Denison Bridge at Bathurst is the other). It is also one of only three pin jointed metal trusses still extant in NSW (the others being the Whipple truss road bridge at Nowra and the Gundagai rail bridge, no longer in use). It is a British pin-jointed truss of a type that did not appear in the USA until the 1880s, and has the unique feature of the trusses being suspended from a continuous horizontal top chord member, supported on roller bearings on vertical pillars at each pier.

Therefore, the station did not yet feature its distinctive station roof. This roof, consisting of 50 curved trusses and a span of almost 45 meters, was designed by L.J. Eijmer, a civil engineer with the private railroad company Staatsspoorwegen. The roof was manufactured by Andrew Handyside and Company of Derby, England.Robert Thorne, "Handyside, Andrew (1805–1887)", Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, Sept 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 accessed 9 Jan 2008 Cuypers did design the decorations for the trusses and the gable ends. On 15 October 1889, the station was officially opened, drawing large numbers of crowds. The visitors were charged 0.25 guilders to see the station; in the first two days after the opening, several dozens of thousands paid.

The floors were connected to the perimeter spandrel plates with viscoelastic dampers, which helped reduce the amount of sway felt by building occupants. The towers also incorporated a "hat truss" or "outrigger truss" located between the 107th and 110th floors, which consisted of six trusses along the long axis of core and four along the short axis. This truss system allowed optimized load redistribution of floor diaphragms between the perimeter and core, with improved performance between the different materials of flexible steel and rigid concrete allowing the moment frames to transfer sway into compression on the core, which also mostly supported the transmission tower. These trusses were installed in each building to support future transmission towers but only the north tower was ultimately fitted with one.

The bridge was constructed in stages between 1899 and 1903 to replace an earlier bridge, built in 1881, that consisted of three limestone piers with two iron trusses and timber approaches. The three limestone piers of the original bridge were heightened, and two additional, shorter piers of stone and concrete were added, and the iron trusses were replaced with six steel plate girder spans. The bridge was rated to carry two 139-ton steam locomotives, followed by a load of 3,200 pounds per square foot. The bridge was used by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway for freight and passenger trains until 1952, when construction of the Whitney Dam on the Brazos River led to the relocation of the tracks to higher ground.

Internally, the space is divided into offices around a central corridor on the ground floor and four practice rooms, three of which are interconnecting, on the first floor. Stairs are internally located both centrally and at the northern end on the Montague Road side of the building. The former engine room is now utilised as a kitchenette. The first floor practice rooms have exposed king post trusses which span the width of the building.. Evidence of the original use and form of the building includes a piece of equipment suspended within the roof trusses of the practice room at the southern end, hardwood columns in the reception space and exposed brick walls to some areas and an early fire system in the entrance.

Old St Paul's is built in a Gothic style, albeit with a subdued effect due to the limited resources available. It is constructed from New Zealand native timbers, with stunning stained-glass windows. The interior has been likened to the upturned hull of an Elizabethan galleon, with exposed curving rimu trusses and kauri roof sarking.

The Prentke Center includes two bays for small boats, and a moving-water rowing tank. In the tank, the broadly arched window evokes the arches of the Washington Street Bridge. The upper level contains three large workout spaces framed with heavy timber trusses. These rooms are finished with mahogany wainscot and athletic rubber flooring.

The aisles and the ambulatory are groin vaulted, while the nave has trusses. The nave, which is c. 20-m high, is divided into three sections: the huge arcades, the matronaeum and the ' (upper floor). Notable is the so-called capital of "Daniel in the lions' den", work of the French Master of Cabestany.

The drill hall contains galleries with built- in seats on the north, south, and west sides. The roof is supported by 200-foot arch iron trusses with a skylight in the center. The drill hall could be used for sports such as baseball and track and field, as well as for gymnastics and calisthenics.

The church architecture evolved during the construction by Augustinian friars in the 1600s and completed in 1764, demonstrating a confluence of various cultural influences. Lotus flowers with Buddhist motif are carved in one door, while wooden trusses supporting the roof are shaped at the edge like a crocodile reflecting local pre-Hispanic folk beliefs.

A sign above the main entrance says 'Alfredson's'. A smaller double timber door opens off the north corner of the building. There is a rear exit at a set of timber stairs descending from the southeast corner. Exposed timber trusses support the roof and the workshop has a fine tongue and groove timber floor.

Between 1890 and 1895 they created a glass building that would support "a luxuriant tropical growth, blending the whole into a natural grouping of Nature's loveliest forms". Silsbee gave the conservatory an exotic form by creating a series of trusses in the shape of ogee arches. A female sago palm in the fern room.

Northern Pacific-BNSF Minneapolis Rail Bridge is a combination plate girder bridge and truss bridge that spans the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was built in 1884 by the Northern Pacific Railway. The bridge was originally built in 1884 with five through-trusses. In 1927, it was renovated with nine plate-girder spans.

The Herr's Mill Covered Bridge was a covered bridge that spans Pequea Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is also sometimes known as Soudersburg Bridge. The bridge had a double span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design. It was painted red on the outside, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges.

The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges, on both the inside and outside. Both approaches to the bridge are painted red with white trim.

The frame of the church was built in 1773, and underwent a major restyling in the 1840s. The church design is based on that of a church built in 1839 in nearby Candia. Most of its interior was lost during these alterations, but the original roof trusses and other features are still in evidence.

In the middle columns and simple curved iron brackets support the trusses that hold up the shed roof. The interior has been remodeled since the station was rebuilt. It is a mostly open area with stairs along the west wall leading up to the elevated tracks and benches along the east. Flooring is red tile.

Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church at 2291 Western Turnpike in Guilderland, Albany County, New York. It was built in 1886 and is in the Eastlake / Stick style. It features a large, open bell tower on the south side. The structure incorporates buttresses to compensate for the lack of roof trusses.

Pool 1 is grand in its detailing. It contains 63 glazed brick cubicles, a three-sided spectator gallery, cast iron roof trusses and bowed, wrought iron balconettes. Pool 2 is less ornate and was the second-class pool. Pool 2 did not originally have cubicles and bathers changed on benches around the pool side.

1915, probably replacing a bridge built around the time the road was laid out c. 1880. The steel for the trusses came from the Cambria Steel Company of Johnstown, Pennsylvania; the builder is not known. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 as the County Road 6 Bridge.

The Combe Mara viaduct near St-Ursanne was built between 1875 and 1876 by the Decker brothers from Cannstatt in Württemberg. At 50 metres high, it swings in a gentle curve over the valley. Originally built as a five-pillar viaduct with steel trusses, it was reinforced with additional pillars between 1929 and 1930.

The Jewel Box consists of of plate glass in over 4,000 panes, set in wood and wrought iron supports. Most of the glass is framed by copper with a verdigris patina. The Jewel Box is supported by eight fixed arches, which carry the structure's weight. There are also triangular trusses between every other arch.

It rests on abutments of dry laid stone capped with concrete. The trusses incorporate iron rods extending from the top of the diagonal bracing to the bottom chords. The bridge deck is wooden planking laid over steel I-beams, which carry the active load. with The bridge was built about 1877 by an unknown builder.

The Jefferson Street Viaduct has a total of nine main spans and eight approach spans. The south side of the main span consists of four riveted Warren deck trusses. The north side consists of five cantilevered Warren deck truss spans over the river. It is a rare use of deck truss technology in Iowa.

The firm and juicy fruit are usually harvested in summer. Whole trusses of fruits should be cut instead of individual fruit, and then either used, or they can be stored in a fridge. They can also be bagged and frozen. Various forms are known including 'Blanka', 'White Pearl', and 'Versailles Blanche' (syn ‘White Versailles’).

The church is entered through a gabled entry porch below a triple lancet window assembly. The front wall of the building has chamferboard cladding. The roof has decorative timber brackets at the eaves and fretwork panels to the gable ends. Inside the roof is supported by timber trusses and is lined with diagonal boarding.

Bill Thompson, the mayor of the town at the time of the bridge's reopening, was the grandson of a construction worker who had worked on the original bridge. Some pieces of salvaged timber not used in recladding the new steel trusses were used to create artworks of the bridge for sale as a municipal fundraiser.

Internally the roof trusses have been retained. Its plan is that of a U-shape with its open side facing the west, towards what was the courtyard. The main entrance is in the north range, leading into the Entrance Hall. To the west of this is the Library, and to the east, the Morning Room.

Franklin Bridge is a bridge in Franklin County, Nebraska. The road bridge was built over the Republican River in 1932 and features Warren pony trusses. In 1935, a flood swept away one truss and one approach span. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, and was delisted in 2020.

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1992, the building received landmark status from the city. The northern addition completed in 1994 was considered significant by the American Institute of Architects. It was noted that the exterior of the building could have been supported by new beams and trusses.

Wooden uprights were attached to the iron risers that passed through the apex of each of the A-frames and these supported the upper trough carrying the Taff Fawr leat. Reflecting its designer's roots in carpentry, the members composing the trusses are joined by dovetail and mortise and tenon joints commonly used in wooden structures.

This bridge consisted of two Parker trusses, one on either side of a Warren swing span, and trestled approaches, giving it a total length of . It was one of three surviving swing bridges in the state. The southern bridge is a modern steel girder structure, built in 1986, whose construction rendered the swing section inoperative.

'Margaret Pike' is a vigorous, lax, spreading shrub growing to a height of 2 m. The young shoots are densely felted with a white pubescence, and bear similarly felted lanceolate leaves < 17 cm long. The inflorescences comprise trusses of primrose-yellow flowers (becoming buff after a few days), 22 cm long by 18 cm wide.

A timber door leading from the church to the former vestry has been removed and the opening brick-filled and rendered. Internally, moulded timber trusses span a nave of four bays. Moulded plaster surrounds frame the chancel arch. Walls are of white-washed plaster, with recent varnished vertical boarding around the walls of the nave.

The kauri pine hammer beam king post roof trusses support a cedar-boarded ceiling. The concrete floor of the nave, the chancel and the sanctuary are covered with encaustic inlaid tiles imported from Shropshire. The stone windows contain mullions and cinquefoils. The stained glass is of a particularly high quality in both design and materials.

The gable ends of the main hall have highlist windows with louvres above to the apex. The interior of the hall was originally a double storey open space. The interior structure is based on a braced post and beam wall structure which carries a classic timber post truss. There are five internal king post trusses.

During 2019-2020, the building was extensively rebuilt by Closebourne Village owners, Lendlease. The reconstruction retained the exposed timber trusses, the passive ventilation system and vented ridge as features. A new metal roof was installed. The building is now being used as a social meeting facility and community workshop for the Closebourne Village retirement complex.

The construction of the barrier started in 1991. First, the dry docks were constructed on both shores and a sill was constructed at the bottom of the Nieuwe Waterweg. Then, the two 22-metre high and 210- metre long steel gates were built. After this, 237-metre long steel trusses were welded to the gates.

A smaller two-story ell projects to the south. Inside is a central drive with haylofts on either side and four standing stalls for horses with haylofts above. Both lofts have an overhead track and fork; the end walls are reinforced with vertical trusses. A lower level of the barn, built into a hillside, serves as the milking parlor.

This is to simulate this central atrium space as a stage, where in training demonstrations, where students present in uniforms or costumes would be actors on stage, while the students watching would be the audience. The top of the atrium is a triangular glazed roof supported by thin trusses to allow ample light into the stage.

The cottage is a single storey building of rubble stone walls with larger quoin stones. The walls are colourwashed and the roof is thatched. The thatch was covered with a corrugated tin roof until the cottage was restored in 2013 and the roof re-thatched. The interior has rough A-frame trusses formed from rounded timbers with pegged joints.

Outrigger trusses, located at eight-floor intervals, connect the columns in the building's core to those on the exterior. These features, combined with the solidity of its foundation, made Taipei 101 one of the most stable buildings ever constructed. The foundation is reinforced by 380 piles driven into the ground, extending as far as into the bedrock.

Long received many more patents for locomotive design and worked with other Army engineers in planning and building the railroad. Long also received patents in 1830 and 1839 for pre- stressing the trusses used in wooden covered bridges. In 1832, along with William Norris and several other business partners, he formed the American Steam Carriage Company.

The interior is essentially unfinished, with wall studs and roof trusses exposed. Hangar 9 was one of sixteen similar wood structures built at Brooks Field early in 1918. By the 1960s, only Hangar 9 remained. When, in the 1960s the Air Force proposed Hangar 9's demolition, the Bexar County Historical Society was given permission to restore the building.

Transportation within the city would be provided by accelerating walkways, inclined elevators, and a personal rapid transit system where automated pods would travel within the trusses. Housing and office space would be provided by twenty-four or more 30-story high skyscrapers suspended from above and below, and attached to the pyramid's supporting structure with nanotube cables.

Rhododendron fortunei () is a rhododendron species native to China, where it grows at altitudes of . It is a shrub or small tree that grows to in height, with leathery leaves that are oblong to oblong-elliptic, by in size. It blooms from April to May, with trusses of 6-12 flowers, campanulate, white to pink, and fragrant.

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.

Pairs of opposing rafters were thus initially tied together by a horizontal tie beam, to form coupled rafters. But such roofs were structurally weak, and lacking any longitudinal support, they were prone to racking, a collapse resulting from horizontal movement. Timber roof trusses were a later, medieval development. A roof truss is cross-braced into a stable, rigid unit.

The Giles Gilbert House is a 13-room, two-story Late Victorian house clad in clapboard and sitting on a cut fieldstone foundation. The relatively plain facade is decorated with typical Late Victorian elements, including decorated trusses and oculus windows in the gables; and a jerkin head roof, chamfered posts, decorative brackets, and scrolled woodwork on the entry porch.

The Petrovskyi Railroad Bridge () is made of steel trusses. It was originally built in 1929 and was known as Petrovskyi Bridge at that time. Like other bridges, it was blown up in the course of World War II, but was not heavily damaged and was reopened in 1944. The Petrovskyi Railroad Bridge completes the railway circle around Kyiv.

In 1889, the bridge was sold to McLennan County, which removed all tolls. In 1913-1914, major reconstruction occurred on the bridge, replacing the older steel with higher gauge, and trusses were added to accommodate the span to carry heavier weights. This doubled as a new pedestrian walkway. By 1971, the bridge had seen over 100 years of traffic.

The main spans are , having eight bays in a Pratt truss configuration. Connections are by riveting, and the trusses make extensive use of lattice bracing to produce compound members. Tension members are stabilised by riveted Vierendeel plates. The comparatively narrow deck of the bridge is unsurfaced concrete, edged by kerbs with pipe handrails with infill wire netting.

High Bridge was built by the Southside Railroad in 1854 to cross the Appomattox River and connect Petersburg with Lynchburg. The bridge is approximately long and ranges from high. It was originally made of wood trusses laid onto 20 brick piers. The upper level held a rail bridge and a pedestrian walkway, while the lower level was for wagons.

St. John's is an example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, measuring 170 feet by 65 feet. The belfry, the tallest section of the building, rises 105 feet. The bulk of the exterior is rubble limestone, with the trim made of Kelly Island sandstone. The side walls and roof are supported by buttresses and hammer beam trusses.

A tall brick chimney rises from the wall here. Inside, the sanctuary has the pews arranged with a center aisle and two side ones along the walls. The ceiling is made of beaded wooden boards that expose the hammerbeam roof's trusses. Chamfered wooden posts rise up to it from between the lancet window pairs on either side.

Enclosing walls date from different periods, with those at the eastern end, constructed from profiled metal sheeting and glass louvres, being the earliest. A number of classrooms and store rooms have been formed by internal partitions, with the open-web steel trusses remaining visible. Early doors include internal single, part-glazed timber doors with VJ panelling.

The trusses consists of vertical posts with diagonal bracing, flanked on each side by a rounded arch made of single timbers bolted together. The exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the insides of the portals. Each of the long side walls has two rectangular window cutouts. The deck is made of wooden planking.

Ancient Egyptian technology describes devices and technologies invented or used in Ancient Egypt. The Egyptians invented and used many simple machines, such as the ramp and the lever, to aid construction processes. They used rope trusses to stiffen the beam of ships. Egyptian paper, made from papyrus, and pottery were mass-produced and exported throughout the Mediterranean basin.

Accessed 2013-11-24. the church is most distinctive for its roofline and the roof's structural support. From the outside, the roof resembles an ordinary gable roof, but an unusual system of trusses and diagonal bracing supports the underside of the roof. Local historians have deemed this construction style particularly rare in the Connecticut Western Reserve.

The decorated ceiling above the choir was not restored, probably because it seemed too Catholic in a Protestant church. All the original roof trusses were renewed. The work took two years and the total cost amounted to more than 75 000 marks. On the King's birthday, 15 October 1843, the flèche with the date 1200 was raised.

The Galerie des machines formed a huge glass and metal hall with an area of and a height of , it was free of internal supports. The framework consisted of twenty trusses. The structure incorporated the three-pin hinged arch, developed for bridge building. The Galerie des machines gave the exposition of 1889 an area of about of usable space.

The cables were imported, the steel and ironwork in stiffening trusses etc. manufactured by Clyde Engineering Company, and the timber supplied by various firms. The erection of the structure has been carried out by day labour, under Inspector James McCall, of the Public Works Department. The total cost, including contracts mentioned above and road work in approaches, was £8000.

The second floor does not contain any columns because of the elaborate network of heavy trusses used to support the outer walls. "Unusually heavy bracing" is also used to support the fourth floor. Otherwise, a standard girder-and-column steel structure is utilized within the building. Some of the largest columns are tall and carry loads of up to .

It is covered by a gabled roof supported by heavy wooden trusses in a kingpost form. The interior retains original woodwork and plaster; its gas chandeliers have been replaced by electric lighting. At the back (south side), it is joined by a modern parish hall to the William Hale House, which stands just to its east.

View to the Choir Gallery in the eastern wall, one of the four independent walls in the building. View across the Sanctuary showing the recessed sanctuary wall and exposed timber trusses below the ceiling. The Haileybury Chapel was designed by Philip Cox, a leading Australian architect. At the time of completing the project, Cox wrote:Haileybury Chapel. Brochure.

Accessed April 11, 2012 There is of retail space on the ground floor, and four underground parking levels. The facade is of polished granite and precast concrete in two colors. An atrium three stories in height with long arched steel trusses forms the lobby. The ceiling of the lobby consists of square decorative hollow beams and acrylic panels.

Gusset plates are relatively flexible and unable to transfer bending moments. The connection is usually arranged so that the lines of force in the members are coincident at the joint thus allowing the truss members to act in pure tension or compression. Trusses are usually used in large-span structures, where it would be uneconomical to use solid beams.

The storm tower is a four-sided metal-framed structure, made of open trusses with taper to a point above the ground. A tall staff with sidearms projects above. The staff flew an American flag from the top, and storm flags from the yards. Flags were stored in a metal locker at the base of the tower.

This leads into a large modern bar opening onto an outdoor area through several large steel roller doors. This area has an auxiliary bar and servery and looks onto Stockman's Rest. It is floored with brick pavers and shaded by a roof of corrugated steel supported on steel trusses. This is lined with a modern timber-look sheeting.

The Baumgardner's Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Pequea Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. A county-owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the Pequea #10 Bridge. Note: The mill was constructed in 1800. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods.

The Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design. The bridge, which spans the Conestoga River, is long, making it the longest single span covered bridge in the county. The bridge's WGCB Number is 38-36-06.

The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges, on both the inside and outside. Both approaches to the bridge are painted in the traditional white color.

The roof of the south nave has alternating arch- braced and hammerbeam trusses. It is decorated with angels, shields, grotesques and other secular subjects. Furnishings designed by Douglas include the pews, the stalls and the screens in the arcade. The east window contains stained glass which is said to be dated 1546; it depicts the Crucifixion.

It is supported by two Town lattice trusses, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding. Its original wooden roadway supports have been replace by steel beams, and the roadbed is paved. (PDF) The bridge was built in the 1870s by an unknown builder, and is the last surviving historic covered bridge in the town.

An elevator, for disabled access, is on the southeast corner as well. All lead up to a partitioned room where the bell rope hangs through a hole in the ceiling. Off it is the balcony, with a paneled railing. A smaller, narrower stair leads to an attic where king post trusses support the church's ceiling rafters.

This makes very tall towers possible, up to (and in special cases even higher, as in the Elbe crossing 1 and Elbe crossing 2). Assembly of lattice steel towers can be done using a crane. Lattice steel towers are generally made of angle-profiled steel beams (L- or T-beams). For very tall towers, trusses are often used.

Matapuna Bridge, to the south east of the station, takes the NIMT over the Whanganui River. It has three steel through trusses, plus a steel girder at each end, totalling long. It was built from March 1903 to January 1904 by Scott Bros. Ltd. Peter Seton Hay, Engineer-in-Chief of the Public Works Department, was probably the designer.

Separate architects designed each of the sections. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed the office portion, which has a steel frame. Ismael Leyva Architects and Adam D. Tihany designed the residential portion, which has a concrete frame. The two sections do not entirely line up, and trusses were built on the 26th and 27th floor to transfer the load.

Since traffic would use the toll-free Manette Bridge instead, tolls were reinstated from November 25, 1958 to October 24, 1972. In 1949, the timber approaches were replaced with concrete and steel components. The entire timber roadway deck was replaced around the same time. The main span thru truss and deck trusses are from the original 1930's bridge.

The main doors, most of the gothic style windows and the roof trusses were also re- used. The ground floor contained the assembly hall and at the rear were two covered playsheds. The second floor included the institute reading room, two schoolrooms and the teachers' room. The top storey was one large room for the institute.

The Royal Albert Bridge is a railway bridge which spans the River Tamar in England between Plymouth, Devon and Saltash, Cornwall. Its unique design consists of two lenticular iron trusses above the water, with conventional plate-girder approach spans. This gives it a total length of . It carries the Cornish Main Line railway in and out of Cornwall.

The flowers, borne in trusses in spring, are bell-shaped, pale to deep yellow, with a purple basal blotch. In cultivation in the UK Rhododendron macabeanum has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. It is hardy down to but requires a sheltered spot in dappled shade, and an acid soil enriched with leaf mould.

The church's interior utilizes quarter sawn oak. Hammerbeam trusses vault the sanctuary, rising to almost . The sanctuary is surrounded by 61 stained glass windows, including a series of nine pictorial windows that depict scenes from the Bible in chronological sequence. The windows were designed by Von Gerichten Art Glass of Cincinnati and assembled onsite during building construction.

The room has two exposed air conditioning ducts running its length and a suspended track lighting system. The room has a curved ceiling with exposed timber trusses. The fly tower is used as a store room with a mezzanine above the stage area. The basement area is entered from Bramston Street and is also used for storage.

Four roof trusses converge at the apsial end. The organ, with stencilled pipes, was built in 1887 and later enlarged. Two stained-glass windows, one each side of the organ, are said to have been removed from the Wesleyan chapel in Chapel Street. Other windows are filled with pastel-coloured glass of an Art Nouveau style.

The interaction of the floors, trusses, and columns makes the structure perform as a single unit, thereby taking maximum advantage of the strength and rigidity of all the components simultaneously. Each component performs its particular function, totally dependent upon the others for its performance. The total frame behaves as a cantilever beam when subjected to lateral loads.

The building consisted of a foundation of Tennessee limestone with a structure of wooden trusses and walls of natural finished red brick. The Mansard roof was covered with slate shingles. Some of the original gymnastic equipment included a leaping rig, a vaulting board, rowing machine, parallel bars, trapeze ropes, Indian clubs, dumb bells and a walnut chest expander.

Two of the effigies in the church The nave's ceiling is of wood and has carved hammerbeam trusses. The five-bay aisle arcades have moulded piers and two-centred arches. Between the steeple and the south aisle there is a chamfered arch. The vestry has in its western wall, an unglazed window that opens into the north aisle.

The timber roof of the side aisles and the main trusses add to the grandeur of the interior.

PlaceMakers is the trading name of Fletcher Distribution Limited, the retail trading arm of Fletcher Building in New Zealand. PlaceMakers also manufactures wall frames, roof trusses and structural components at various frame and truss operations. PlaceMakers origins began in August 1981 as part of Fletcher Timber Limited's retailing operations within the Manufacturing and Merchandising Sector of Fletcher Challenge Limited.

Below each window is a taller stained glass window with biblical depictions leaded into each one. It boasts a Spanish tile roof and a massive plank wood arched front double door. The interior is vaulted to heights in excess of 50 feet. Across its ceiling are three broad rough hewn trusses acting to support the gabled ceiling.

The stone barn has eight bays supported by buttresses and two wagon porches. The cruck roof trusses, at both ends of the barn, have timbers which have been shown by dendrochronology to have been felled between 1288 and 1290. There are some curved windbraces. The stonework is showing signs water damage and erosion at the base of the walls.

Iron straps bolted through brick piers transfer the load to the ground. The internal balcony is supported off the same straps and piers. The roof and its structure is fully visible from floor level. The design of the wrought iron trusses is early and similar to railway construction although the roof and structure as a whole is unusual.

The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. The bridge is rare - an early example of DeBurgh trusses. The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales. The bridge is representative of DeBurgh truss bridges.

The first stage mostly has timber floor structures and floors except for the corridors and the vaults. The second stage has concrete floors vaulted between steel beams, and has some timber floors. The floors are tile or timber over the structure. The roof structures of the first stage are timber with trusses spanning the two larger spaces.

The nature of the structure supporting the vestibule dome and the adjacent rooms is not known. The second stage utilises a steel roof structure with massive riveted steel girders spanning the main hall. Over these girders are wrought iron and steel trusses forming the pitched roof. The structure of the flat roof areas is concrete vaulted between steel beams.

289 The Bridge Committee held an unsuccessful design competition. While the Committee received many proposals for deck trusses and suspension bridges, all were too expensive. Having exhausted their own proposals, they requested assistance from the railroad. Since it wished to eliminate pedestrians from its bridge, the railroad complied by providing a company engineer as an advisor.

The staging was extended upwards for use while assembling the spans. The spans were assembled on site. Staging was laid and rails put in place to carry a travelling crane. The long beams were hoisted in place first, followed by the vertical bracings, and then the outer and inner plates of the top chordal trusses and the diagonals.

William Howe The earliest bridges in North America were made of wood, which was abundant and cheaper than stone or masonry. Early wooden bridges were usually of the Towne lattice truss or Burr truss design. Some later bridges were McCallum trusses (a modification of the Burr truss). About 1840, iron rods were added to wooden bridges.

The Pratt truss used wooden vertical members in compression with diagonal iron braces. The Howe truss used iron vertical posts with wooden diagonal braces. Both trusses used counter-bracing, which was becoming essential now that heavy railroad trains were using bridges. In 1830, Stephen Harriman Long received a patent for an all-wood parallel chord truss bridge.

Between 1936 and 1940, the Mühlendamm was again redesigned, and the building and the defense disappeared envisioning a wider street. This included demolishing the Ephraim-Palais, considered "Berlin's finest corner." The outbreak of war prevented the completion of the renovations, which included two eleven-feet wide and 35-feet long steel trusses on both sides of the lock.

The plans for an atmospheric auditorium were very much like Eberson's Riviera at Omaha, Nebraska. The conversion involved remodelling the interior and raising the roof trusses to make room for the atmospheric ceiling and extended slope of the new gallery. In May 1927, the Sydney City Council approved Wirth's proposed alterations. The Capitol opened on 7 April 1928.

Mansion Truss Bridge was a historic Camelback through truss bridge located near Mansion in Campbell County, Virginia. It was built in 1903, and consisted of two camelback through trusses. It was elevated high above the Staunton River and took its name from the 18th century mansion of early settler John Smith. It was demolished in 1999.

The Petit Jean River Bridge was a historic bridge in rural northeastern Yell County, Arkansas. It is located north of Ola, and carries County Road 49 across the Petit Jean River. It was a single-span Pratt through truss, with a truss length of long, and a total structure length of . The trusses rest on concrete pillars.

The building measured 368 feet long and 165 feet wide. The interior was a single great arena with no obstructions. The height from the clay floor to the centerline of the trusses was fifty feet. There was a 220-yard track with a 100-yard straightaway surrounding a raised wooden basketball floor measuring 110 feet by 62 feet.

The Big Piney Creek Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying Arkansas Highway 123 across Big Piney Creek in Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, northeast of Hagarville, Arkansas. Its main span is a Warren through truss structure, in length, with steel deck girder approach spans giving the bridge a total length of . The trusses are mounted on concrete piers.

As the screens are now missing, they may have been free-standing like those at Rufford Old Hall. The porch is decorated with elaborate carvings. The Great Hall's roof is supported by arch-braced trusses, which are decorated with carved motifs including dragons. The floor, now flagged, would probably originally have been rush-covered earth, with a central hearth.

All Saints Episcopal Church is a board-and- batten Gothic Revival structure with a gable roof and tower located on one corner containing the main entrance. The facades have lancet windows. The interior has pine flooring and a vertical-board, beaded wainscoting. The ceiling is constructed against the underside of the roof, and supported by exposed wooden trusses.

The SNUMoA was designed by Rem Koolhaas. The structure's exterior is made of U-glass which reveals the underlying structural steel framed trusses. The building is located on sloping site which the architect utilized in the final design. The museum is cantilevered on a concrete core, thus giving the appearance of lightness and floating in space.

C15 or C16 bays with large encased spiral bridging joist below. Original roof of closely spaced trusses with collars and former collar purlin and crown posts. C17 bay with ovolo moulded bridging joists, fireplace bressummer and tie beams. Fine oriel window projecting into landing on shaped brackets; of 5 lights with ovolo moulded mullions and transom.

The roof features pitch pine roof trusses. As you enter the building, beneath a grill in the doorway, is a hot air heating system. A set of steps lead down to a furnace which was stocked with wood or coal. The flue from this runs down the centre of the building and exits up a chimney behind the organ.

In 1810, the first cotton factory was established. By 1859, when the population was 2,222, there were four additional cotton factories, plus a woolen mill. Other industries included two paper mills, an iron foundry, a machine shop, a carriage factory, a basket manufacturer, a maker of trusses and supporters, a boot and shoe factory, seven sawmills, and three gristmills.

In the 1860s the building was owned by the Lovell family. The two- storey stone building was an open hall but a first floor corridor and bedrooms have been added. The roof is supported by cruck trusses and purlins. Dendochronology has shown the wood used for the roof was felled in the winter of 1313 to 1314.

Curved, tapering trusses were later used to great effect at Kirklees Stadium in Huddersfield. The first Eurostar departure, on 14 November 1994, was formed of Eurostar units 373004/373003 and the last service left at 18.12 GMT on 13 November 2007 for Brussels. From the next day Eurostar services used their new London terminus of St Pancras International.

The facility originally had three buildings, as well as a warehouse and a chimney, along with connecting water-carrying structures. The building at the top of the cliff was designed to house workers. It is a one-storey rectangular building, with loadbearing walls supporting a gable roof on metal trusses. The western wall is attached to the ravine slope.

On its southeast corner is a smaller, round tower with a conical roof. The church's two entrances are located on a side aisle on the north; there is a small chapel at the west end. Inside the sanctuary, the floor is mosaic. Plaster walls and ceilings are complemented by dark wood tongue and groove wainscoting and exposed trusses.

Generally, the building retains early and original door and window hardware. The second floor of the William Street wing is notable for its exposed roof structure comprising multiple sets of Queens post trusses with unusual tusk tenon detailing and rafters. Members are stop-chamfered. The ceiling comprises beaded boarding laid diagonally and is raked to follow the mansard roof.

Trusses were added to the roof and tiles were replaced. The altar was also reconfigured along with the shift of the main door to align with the nave. Lanterns that were gifted by friends of the church in the 1940s were installed at the front of the church. There was also an overhaul for the kitchen in the church.

Cardinal Patrick O'Donnell in St Eunan's Cathedral grounds The building is believed to have been constructed when a church located at Conwal, not far from Churchill, fell into ruins. The church is rubble built with an ashlar spire. The interior retains its early 19th century cast-iron circular roof, trusses and a short gallery and twisted brass brackets.

Krasnoyarsk Railway Bridge in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, carries the Krasnoyarsk Railway (part of the Trans-Siberian Railway) across the Yenisei River. It was originally a single-track truss bridge. The total length of the structure was 1 km, span width of 140 meters, the height of metal trusses in the vertex of the parabola was 20 meters.

Ten wood trusses project through the newer drop ceiling in the club room. All other ceilings are the original celotex. Some globe light fixtures hang from the ceiling in the club room along with newer fluorescent units. The club room features one of Wyoming's 20th-century treasures, sixteen murals painted by three Italian prisoners-of-war during 1943-1944.

Burnett Bridge joins Quay Street, Bundaberg with Perry Street, North Bundaberg, across the Burnett River. It is in length and has eight 51.9 long spans with cylindrical piers and concrete abutments. The bridge carries a roadway and a footpath. The road is on transverse metal troughing spanning between the lower chords of hog-back lattice trusses.

They were supported by segmented terra cotta tiled arches spanning the spaces between the steel beams, connected by tie rods. Where they were exposed, they were parged. The roof has flat terra cotta slabs set in T-shaped steel purlins, supported by built-up trusses. The terra cotta arches are supplemented by built-up steel latticework columns.

The bridge was badly damaged by a storm in 1854 and floods in 1856. The ferry was used again until the bridge was repaired in 1859. In the following decades the bridge was once again damaged by storms and improvements were made to stiffen the bridge. In 1902 the road was renewed and additional trusses and beams added.

The original branch was located at 1802 South Arlington Avenue, Los Angeles, California. The Romanesque Revival-Mediterranean Revival building was built in 1926 and designed by Allison & Allison. The building has been vacant, boarded and fenced for many years. Built in 1926, the Irving Branch had a long, airy room with exposed wood trusses and rafters.

Some original windows and doors survive, while others have been replaced with steel tilting doors. The building also features aluminium awnings. Internally, the original drill room space contains a series of offices with part height partitioning and suspended ceilings. Some early VJ timber partitions and linings remain and the timber roof trusses exist above the suspended ceilings.

Alternatively, the posts can be planed, chamfered and profiled to give a highly aesthetic finish and further still, the posts can be altered with hollow voids along the edge to enhance the acoustic performance. Brettstapel can also be combined with concrete and steel to form composite structures for more demanding projects such as large spans, bridges and trusses.

The Jungster I is a single-engine, single- seat biplane with conventional landing gear. It was intended to be an 80 percent scale replica of the Bücker Bü 133 for homebuilt construction. The wings are swept back an additional two degrees from the Jungmeister. The fuselage uses wood trusses and the wings use spruce wood spars with fabric covering.

The arches have the complicated mouldings typical of the period. The aisles of the south transept and nave are all vaulted in stone. Only the vault of the east aisle of the south transept is original. The rest of the roofs consist of thin and closely spaced arched brace trusses forming pointed arches, very simple and harmonious.

The partition uses vertical poles faced with 4-1/2: wide tongue and groove planks. A loft is framed with logs and 8" rough-cut decking, reached by a milled-lumber stairway. The loft deck is covered with 6" wide flooring planks. The roof structure is open to the underside of the roof, with exposed log trusses.

It was flanked by two Warren pony trusses from the ISHC. In 1914, the structure was completed for $11,586.11. The historical nature of this bridge is derived from its construction in the transition period, and its use of standard and non-standard bridge designs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

The floor is carpeted. The intricate stained- glass windows depict Biblical scenes of importance to the church's evangelical beliefs. Round wooden columns, corniced midway up, support the ceiling's exposed trusses. Narrower columns support the balcony in the rear, and the three-faceted balcony with the church's pipe organ over the altar, raised five feet () off the floor.

Pioneer 10 uses four SNAP-19 radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs). They are positioned on two three-rod trusses, each in length and 120 degrees apart. This was expected to be a safe distance from the sensitive scientific experiments carried on board. Combined, the RTGs provided 155 W at launch, and decayed to 140 W in transit to Jupiter.

The roof comprised four steel and timber trusses with cast iron jointing pieces which were to be made by the contractor. The patterns would remain the property of the Commonwealth. The roof is clearly described as hipped with gablets. The main entrance was to be covered by a pent roof formed by extending the main roof.

The design for the three iron truss spans of the Prince Alfred Bridge are based on the British pin-jointed Warren and Kennard trusses, and have the unique feature of the trusses being suspended from a continuous horizontal top chord, supported on roller bearings on vertical posts at each pier. The end roller detail has five rollers placed between the extended upper chord and a pillar which rises from the pier top. A similar detail is provided at the central pier, where each upper chord is continued from one span to the next across a nest of rollers. The Warren truss, as originally patented, consisted of a configuration of repetitive equilateral triangles but the Prince Alfred Bridge has additional verticals at each cross girder location, designed to provide lateral support to the top chord.

Vladislavs Podgurskis, a representative of Vikom Industry, said in response that all metal components were made and assembled strictly according to the building design and that it must be a design error. Vikom Industry said the bolts for joining the trusses had been supplied by the Eurobolts company. On 25 November Vikom Industry requested a manufacturer's certificate from Eurobolts for a certain batch of bolts. The owner and CEO of Eurobolts, Olga Romanova, said that the company has no information on what the bolts they sell are used for, however, the bolts in the batch Vikom Industry was interested in were not strong enough for joining trusses for the roof and that Vikom Industry had in fact never bought bolts that would be strong enough for that purpose.

Brunel now abandoned plans for a double track timber structure and instead proposed a single track wrought iron design consisting of a single span. As the cost of this structure would have been around £500,000 at 1846 prices (equivalent to £ in ), he amended the design to one of two main spans of with clearance above mean high spring tide; this was approved by the Admiralty and the directors of the Cornwall Railway. The two spans are lenticular trusses with the top chord of each truss comprising a heavy tubular arch in compression, while the bottom chord comprises a pair of chains. Each of the trusses is simply supported and therefore no horizontal thrust is exerted on the piers, which is crucial in view of the curved track on either side.

Less than thirty years after being completed, the eastern timber trestles of the 1919 bridge were in poor condition, and construction of replacement steel trusses began in 1943. Construction of the eastern steel truss section, consisting of seven truss spans, was completed in 1945 at a cost of , and traffic was diverted from the timber trestles onto the steel trusses with a crossover. The US Corps of Engineers authorized replacement of the remaining portion of the bridge on 2 February 1950, with contracts awarded for to Lord and Bishop for the substructure and to Judson Pacific Murphy for the superstructure, with an additional contract to Pacific Murphy for the concrete slab approach spans. The substructure was constructed from 4 April 1957 through 30 October 1958, and consists of the concrete piers and pilings.

Inside the laboratories, the ducts and vents are reinforced by concrete Vierendeel trusses supported by post-tensioned columns. The authorities at the time were very cautious due to the fact that they felt these trusses would not be able to hold in case of an earthquake, but in a tour de force of structural design, the engineer was able to achieve twice the ductility that a steel frame could offer. At first Kahn wanted to put a garden in the middle of the two buildings but, as construction continued, he did not know what shape it should take. When he saw an exhibit of Luis Barragan's work at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Kahn invited Baragan to collaborate on the court that separated the two buildings.

Planar roof trusses The roof trusses of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence The simplest form of a truss is one single triangle. This type of truss is seen in a framed roof consisting of rafters and a ceiling joist, and in other mechanical structures such as bicycles and aircraft. Because of the stability of this shape and the methods of analysis used to calculate the forces within it, a truss composed entirely of triangles is known as a simple truss. However, a simple truss is often defined more restrictively by demanding that it can be constructed through successive addition of pairs of members, each connected to two existing joints and to each other to form a new joint, and this definition does not require a simple truss to comprise only triangles.

Despite demolition of part of the building and the enclosure of verandahs, the remaining fabric including the verandahs, doors, windows and clerestory, demonstrate its previous form as a pavilion ward. The connecting link with the adjoining pavilion ward remains. The interior has been altered but the original queen post trusses and timber ceiling remain intact above a suspended plasterboard ceiling.

The trusses are formed of timbers bolted together, with vertical iron rods providing additional stability. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, and is topped by a gabled metal roof. The portal ends are also finished in vertical board siding, which extends partway along the inside to shelter the truss ends. with The bridge was built about 1879; its builder is unknown.

The total length was , while the main steel structure was long. The arch spanned and at its highest measured above the water. Two trusses on either side of the central arch were both . An elevated overpass on each end of the span connected the approach to the bridge and allowed a rail line or roads to pass underneath, parallel to the river.

These trusses were mounted on bearings from battleship gun turrets. Three such antennas were built: the two North stations for receiving, and the south station a few kilometers away for transmitting. In 1978, these antennas were augmented by the 70-meter antennas at Yevpatoria and Ussuriisk. Construction on a third antenna at Suffa, Uzbekistan was halted with the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Connecticut. , there were six authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Connecticut of which three are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

The roofs are traditionally thatched, and with no internal roof trusses they provide a large internal space. Sharply projected triangular eaves and gables overlap all around the substructure. The front gable extends further than the rear gable and is finely carved and painted with motifs of suns, starts, cockerels, and geometric motifs in red, white, and black. The rear gable remains plain.

The skyscraper has a total of four levels of steel outriggers and six sets of double-layer belt trusses. Smaller columns are in between the mega columns. The mega columns have a length up to and a width up to . They are thicker than usual to meet the Chinese seismic codes and they are supported by a mat and pad foundation.

The trusses include wrought iron rods, and are set at an offset to one another, giving the bridge the shape of a parallelogram. A laminated beam has been bolted to the underside of the floor planking to provide additional strength. The bridge is long and wide, with a roadway width of (one lane). with The bridge was built c. 1886-87.

Inside, a red carpet covers the wooden floor under the sanctuary's 98 oak pews. The walls are plaster, covered to a certain level with narrow vertical wainscoting. They rise to a vaulted wooden ceiling with large trusses. In the rear, behind the altar, are the pipes of the church's manual-tracker pipe organ, the only one in the Hudson Valley.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Massachusetts. , there were twelve authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Massachusetts of which seven are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

In 1915 a timber bridge was built spanning the river. It was upgraded to a more permanent structure in 1922 with the addition of two steel trusses. In 1927, the Arizona Highway Department began to assess how to replace the existing structure with a permanent structure. Based on a concrete slab-and-girder structure, they solicited bids for the project.

Ouaquaga Lenticular Truss Bridge is a historic lenticular truss bridge located at Ouaquaga in the towns of Windsor and Colesville in Broome County, New York. It was constructed in 1888 and spans the Susquehanna River. It is composed of two identical through trusses with an overall length of . It was constructed by the Berlin Iron Bridge Co. of East Berlin, Connecticut.

The Crossman Bridge is located just west of West Warren, on Gilbert Road just south of its junction with Main Street (Massachusetts Route 67). The bridge is long and wide, and is mounted on concrete abutments topped with granite slabs. The lenticular trusses have a maximum depth of about . The bridge deck is supported by a modern system of steel beams and stringers.

The north-western wall is lined with wide, unpainted, vertical beaded tongue and groove boards. Toilets and a kitchen area of more recent construction are located in the south- western corner of this bay and have no cultural significance. Bay 3 is an open space with no fixtures. The king post trusses are unpainted and the timber floor has been lined with hardboard.

The Kresge Auditorium in Massachusetts. Domes built with steel and concrete were able to achieve very large spans. The West Baden Springs Hotel in Indiana was built in 1903 with the largest span dome in the world at 200 feet. Its metal and glass skin was supported by steel trusses resting on metal rollers to allow for expansion and contraction from temperature changes.

Durham Hosiery Mills Dye House is a historic textile mill building located at Durham, Durham County, North Carolina. It was constructed by the Durham Hosiery Mills Corporation in three sections between 1920 and 1921. They are the boiler room, office / warehouse, and dyeing area. It is constructed of exterior reinforced concrete bearing walls, steel trusses and a heavy timber (“slow burn”) structural system.

The free steel trusses of the viaduct at Angelroda were lifted with mobile cranes and then repaired. A total of €13 m was allocated for these works. Due to heavy corrosion of the bridge’s superstructure, this could not be completed by the end of October 2012 as planned. The recommencement of services was postponed initially from 19 November 2012 to 16 May 2013.

Floor trusses have been boxed over with plasterboard in some ground floor spaces. The first floor retains some early panelled and half-glazed timber doors to the verandah, although most interior door openings have been boarded over or are modern replacements. Some timber-framed louvres and awnings have been retained in the southern elevation; although all fanlights and verandah windows are modern replacements.

Horizontal timber slat panels conceal the underfloor area. Access is achieved through three large sliding doors on each side with an additional door on the interior Showground end. The original decorative facade with parapet end, providing street access (Ingham Road) has been modified to a flat sheeted wall. Internally there is a central row of columns supporting timber trusses and a box gutter.

The roof is hipped with eaves overhang of corrugated steel sheeting on timber framing and timber trusses. The rear wall of the upper level retains the original timber louvres designed for ventilation. Two aisles provide access to the three banks of bench seating with the rear six rows including timber lumbar support. The grandstand has a timber floor in the grandstand seating area.

In its interior, the cathedral has a rectangular nave with arcades on both sides. The roof structure, described in the National Register nomination as "an elaborate beam system of king post trusses", is exposed in the ceiling. Walls are plastered and stained glass is included in all of the windows. The pulpit, lectern and seating for the choir are located at the crossing.

The church was designed by Richard Gilbert Scott, son of renowned architect Giles Gilbert Scott. It has a subtly polygonal T-shaped plan which allows a forward altar surrounded by the congregation. Above the altar the roof is partly formed by extraordinary curved serrated ribbed trusses of reinforced concrete, faced externally with copper cladding. Inside the stained glass is by John Chrestien.

The church is subdivided into three naves with semi-circular apses. The central nave is separated by massive pillars, decorated with different forms, supporting large semi-circular arches. The roof above the central nave rests on decorative wooden trusses (an original piece is exposed on the back wall of the left nave). The presbytery can be reached along a ramp.

1785 saw a major renovation and extension under the direction of master mason Johan Sundberg. The southern porch was demolished and the north wall was raised to the same level as in the south. The old roof was demolished and a new roof with heavier trusses were built. Meanwhile, enlarged window openings and the foundation of the church tower was added.

The arches are supported by cruciform pilasters which end with notable decorations, in a style similar to that of the nave's walls. The ceiling has wooden trusses. In the left aisles are the former accesses to the cloister and the monastery residential quarters, represented by two decorated doors. One has in its tympanum the typical flower motif of the Abruzzese Romanesque style.

It leads to a master bedroom and two smaller bedrooms. The entire floor has its original wideboard flooring. The roof framing uses king post trusses on the collar ties rather than the more commonly used tie beam formation, a construction visible in the master bedroom. At the extreme east and west end of the house is an old well and cistern respectively.

The big corner tower has its own corner gablets, then a belfry with a rose window, then a spire reaching 150 feet, topped with a cross. Inside, the auditorium is 118 feet long and fifty-five feet wide, with an arcade of stained glass windows. Behind the altar is another large, elaborate stained glass window. The ceiling is supported by wooden trusses.

Valentino's Restaurant is accommodated within the north side shop space. The interior decorative scheme includes a copy of the early decorative dado motif and paint scheme found in theatre auditorium. The roof framing is strengthened with steel sleeves to the timber trusses. A plaque indicating the theatre is part of the Pomona heritage walk is fixed to the front of the building.

After some quarrels with the Toronto Harbour Commission (due to the dangers of the unseen reef to shipping), the reef plan was modified to incorporate three artificial "barrier islands" made from city landfill. The five steel and aluminum pavilion pods are square with sides. Each pod is supported by four pipe columns, rising above the lake. Tension cables support the short-span trusses.

Water Tower The tank for the previous water tower, located on the square at Fulton and Smith Streets, had been condemned in 1914. The present water tower was built and a deep well was dug in 1915. The water tower is feet tall and it is capped with a steel tank. The trusses that make up the tower are apart.

The trusses rest on abutments that have been faced in concrete. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, which extends from the sides, around the portals, and just inside the portals. It has a roof of corrugated metal. The bridge bears a sign claiming to have been built in 1836, but the National Register nomination claims a construction date of about 1870.

Hernia Rocking Trusses Corbett was born in 1780 at Hopkinton, New Hampshire. He was living in the Shaker Village of Enfield, New Hampshire, in 1790 with his family. The Corbett family moved to the Canterbury Shaker Community in 1794. He was described at this time by Shaker historian Henry Blinn as medium in height, light hair, hazel eyes, and having an inquisitive mind.

Designed by Harry D. Payne using an art deco design style, Jeppesen Gymnasium's structure consisted of two stories and a basement. It was built of reinforced concrete and steel with masonry walls. Buttresses, columns, and steel trusses supported a sound-absorbing roof. On the south end of the structure were four entrances to a lobby that led to the basketball court itself.

There is a secondary entrance on the west elevation of the wing. At the south end of the facade is a shed-roofed addition. Inside, the nave, now the house's main block, is still open to the roof. King post trusses are still visible at either corner of the transept, in natural wood finish contrasting with the dark-stained ceiling.

The hipped roof is pierced by triangular vents and topped by a cross. Inside, the sanctuary has a hammerbeam roof with trusses of dark stained wood. Plaster walls, original pews, a lectern with brass eagle and stained glass from different periods complete the trim. In the chancel are a marble altar originally from another church and an elaborate oak reredos.

These roofs usually had shallow pitches and rested on wooden trusses. Wooden domes were constructed for Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, both in Jerusalem. Baked brick and mud brick were used in Mesopotamia, due to lack of stone. Where brick was used in Syria, the work was in the finer Mesopotamian style rather than the more crude Byzantine style.

The GSL class of jetty berthing pontoons are a series of four non self- propelled yardcraft built by Goa Shipyard Limited for the Indian Navy. The pontoons are catamarans with rectangular shaped twin flat-bottomed hulls. The twin hulls are connected by trusses of round pipes with a steel deck covering the transverse beams. Each hull is divided into eight watertight compartments.

The Yenisei bridge opened up a new frontier for the Russian bridge engineering since. Proskouriakov's statically determinate trusses with subdivided panels and upward-angled upper chords were subsequently widely used by many other bridge engineers. For example, such a system (with a few changeups) was borrowed by Prof. Nikolai Belelyubsky in the design of the rail bridge across the Volga River near Sviyazhsk.

Sir Cyril Fox and Lord Raglan, in the first of their three-volume study Monmouthshire Houses. describe the architectural history of Tal-y-fan as "difficult to make out". They identified two cruck trusses of a medieval date, and suggested that "the transformation of this medieval building was a slow process". Cadw goes no further than describing the original building as "late-medieval".

Naval Chronicle, Vol. 3, p.153. She went into dock on 19 March.Naval Chronicle, Vol. 3, p.237. She sailed again on 10 June.Naval Chronicle, Vol. 3, p.512. During her refit at Plymouth the naval architect Robert Seppings introduced, as an experiment, diagonal trusses that reduced hogging. Glenmore captured the French schooner Esperance and recaptured two British merchant vessels, William and Salem.

The center is constructed of reinforced concrete. The main roof spans 34 metres and is constructed with a steel truss covered with corrugated aluminum sheets. The trusses are exposed in the interior and house the mechanical ducts.Baghdad Gymnasium The indoor 3,000 seat stadium and the adjacent open-air amphitheater are linked by an enormous sliding door which, when opened, integrates the two stadia.

Restoration on the interior of the theater in 2014 In 2011, the JPR Foundation purchased the building and began restoration on it. The restoration was estimated to cost 3.5 million USD. The building had failed ceiling trusses and a leaking roof which were repaired. The façade of the building was restored to its original appearance as it was first built in 1930.

The chancel is surrounded by an ambulatory which contains the vestry and a Seaman's Chapel. The north transept has a large organ loft inserted and the roof features exposed trusses with a diagonally boarded ceiling. Cast iron columns with clerestory above separate the side aisles from the nave. The clerestory of the original section of the building contains stained glass windows.

Mud mortar was used to lay the bricks in six to one common bond. The barn has a jerkin head, V-crimp metal roof that is supported by eight square wooden piers and timber trusses. There is a clerestory, center ridge vent for light and ventilation. A base, which may have been for a cupola, is in the center of the ridge vent.

The wall of the building forms part of the perimeter wall of the Showgrounds. Internally, the building is one large open space with the saw-tooth roof supported by steel trusses on I-section columns. Twelve sets of large skylights run at 45 degrees across the space providing natural light. The ceiling is lined with sheet material and the floor is bitumen.

There is evidence of this earlier smaller timber structure in the timber wall separating buildings Nos.8 and 9 that only extends across half the breadth of the current interior space. The rear of this building is clad with metal sheeting with the same casements of narrow metal louvres. The interior is a large space with numerous supporting posts and exposed roof trusses.

The two-storey cruck framed whitewashed brick building retains a thatched roof. It is in three bays. The left two bays are in a single storey, and contain at least two cruck trusses; it was encased in brick in the 17th century. The right bay was rebuilt in the 18th century, using fabric from Lydiate Hall, and is in storeys.

The slip pews are made of oak with tre- and quatrefoil carvings at the ends. The floors in the center and side aisles are laid in a polychrome glass pattern, with carpet covering the area under the pews. There is a brass dedication plaque on the west wall. Open stained pine trusses spring from corbels along the walls frame the ceiling.

Around this time, frustrated by Americans who pronounced his name "leaf" instead of "lafe", he started calling himself "Jack". alt=A pair of bridges, with of lot of steel trusses. In 1928, Sverdrup joined with his former University of Minnesota engineering professor John Ira Parcel in the formation of Sverdrup & Parcel, a civil engineering firm with a speciality field of bridges.

The bridge has a single span, wooden, double pyramidal-shaped Burr- type trusses and multiple king post truss design with the addition of steel hanger rods. It is the only bridge in the county to use this design. The deck is made from oak planks. It is painted red, the traditional color of Lancaster County covered bridges, on both the inside and outside.

The Lime Valley Covered Bridge or Strasburg Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Pequea Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. A county- owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the Pequea #8 Bridge. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods. The deck is made from oak planks.

Gabled entrance porches are also located to the vestry and confessionals and the building has lancet hopper windows. Internally, the building has exposed timber scissor trusses with a diagonally boarded ceiling and ventilated centre ridge. Timber columns support the central gable and divide the nave into three volumes. An organ and choir gallery is located over the north entrance and is partially cantilevered.

It is in two parts, the easternmost of which consists of a series of wide trusses. The chancel roof has beams supported on decorated corbels. Most of the windows in the church are lancets. The north wall has four, there are three on the south and east sides, and the west wall has two and a rectangular window with tracery work.

Almost all of the bridges exteriors were built of poplar wood with interiors, trusses, arches and planking built of oak. The majority of the bridges were built using a Burr Arch or a double Burr Arch design. Parke County also had two bridge builders that would build most of the bridges in the county. The first of these was J.J. Daniels.

North side of Grafton Bridge, as seen from the east. The bridge carries one traffic lane in each direction and a footpath on each side. It underwent reinforcing repairs in 1938 when cracks were discovered in the Vierendeel frames of the approach areas of the bridge. The remedy was to erect two steel trusses on the deck to support the damaged area.

Exterior of power house The power house was a brick building on a stone foundation laid in cement mortar. The roof was carried in steel trusses and covered with slate, with Ved tile trimmings. The floors of both engine and boiler rooms are of cement. Harrisburg 4-valve engines in the power house The engine room equipment comprised one 350-h.p.

The ceiling is supported by six hammer beam trusses. The base of each truss is decorated with a quatrefoil circular infill. The Carrara marble high altar features a statue of St. Patrick in its central tower. The side altar on the left features a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the side altar on the left a statue of St. Joseph.

Internally the building has undergone a variety of alterations. The original stair remains to the right of the entry but its timber structure and railing have been painted. On the top level large brackets which support the trusses are exposed, but the ceiling line is not original. A suspended ceiling comes down below the window heads on the ground floor.

The chancel/sanctuary is on a raised platform, carpeted. The walls of the nave and transepts have a rendered dado (recent) with a timber dado rail. The dado to the sanctuary and the south transept has velvet curtains hanging in front of white lime washed brickwork. The ceiling is diagonally boarded with exposed trusses and purlins, and triangular ceiling vents.

The structure of the spire is supported by the four roof trusses over the crossing, and is open through the ceiling for light and ventilation. Internally, the emphasis is on the crossing, with the pews arranged around the centre. The pews are original with bench seats and shaped slatted backs. Fold down seats exist on the ends of some pews.

Structural metamaterials provide properties such as crushability and light weight. Using projection micro-stereolithography, microlattices can be created using forms much like trusses and girders. Materials four orders of magnitude stiffer than conventional aerogel, but with the same density have been created. Such materials can withstand a load of at least 160,000 times their own weight by over-constraining the materials.

These walls are usually thickly plastered with adobe, and resemble traditional adobe walls when finished. The roof is made using trusses, or wooden support beams called vigas, that rest on the wooden shoes or the tin can walls placed on the bond beams. The roof as well as the north, east and west facing walls are heavily insulated to reduce heat loss.

Temporary air conditioning was required for the 2017 WNBA Finals so the arena would meet WNBA temperature standards. The building has an arched roof, in the same manner as an airplane hangar. The double arch steel beams allows an open space for the bleachers and floor. There are some seats with partially obscured views due to the upper deck extending past the trusses.

On the interior is an entry vestibule with oak wainscoting and a tin ceiling. Double doors open onto the sanctuary, which has a high ceiling with timber trusses and a rear gallery supported by iron columns with Corinthian capitals. The sanctuary contains three tiers of pews on a floor that slopes downward toward a chancel. All the sanctuary woodwork is of oak.

Some manufacturers taper the framing members (varying in web depth) according to the local loading effects. Larger plate dimensions are used in areas of higher load effects. Other forms of primary framing can include trusses, mill sections rather than three-plate welded, castellated beams, etc. The choice of economic form can vary depending on factors such as local capabilities (e.g.

In 1928 it was decided to replace the 1877 bridge, as it needed repair. The new bridge was downstream, had 6 spans, 3 x steel Pratt trusses, 2 x and 1 x plate girders, a total of .

It was used until 1870, when a church was built in Watsontown. The community of Dewart was established near Delaware Run. The Dewart Covered Bridge was a single-span covered bridge with multi-king post trusses and it crossed Delaware Run. It was built in 1882 by Samuel L. Culp and was destroyed on June 22, 1972 by a tropical storm.

The spans and trusses are supported by 110 bridge arms made of the metal pipes 1.2–2.4 meters in diameter filled with reinforced concrete. To ensure the stability of the pillars in the permafrost were drilled hole depth of 20–40 meters.Конструкция моста через Юрибей на Ямале позволит сохранить экосистему реки : ИТАР-ТАСС Урал total weight exceeds 30,000 tons, service life – 100 years.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Rhode Island. There is only one authentic covered bridge in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

One of the previous wrought iron lattice trusses was left in place. The bridge was extended westwards in 1938–39 when a new span was added to cross the Yarra Boulevard, which was constructed by sustenance workers during the Depression as a scenic drive. In 1971, the original piers were strengthened and a metal girder span added to accommodate a third track.

The entrance hall has a large oak staircase, the company meeting room a tin ceiling. The walls have their original oak baseboard and plaster; many of the oak doors are original. At the time of the armory's listing on the Register, many rooms had been partitioned. The drill shed has exposed steel trusses, wainscoted ceilings, a balcony and wooden floors.

SNAP-19 RTG :Pioneer 11 uses four SNAP-19 radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) (see diagram). They are positioned on two three-rod trusses, each in length and 120 degrees apart. This was expected to be a safe distance from the sensitive scientific experiments carried on board. Combined, the RTGs provided 155 watts at launch, and decayed to 140 W in transit to Jupiter.

The bridge was rebuilt to the original plans, save for the elimination of two sidewalks which had been previously cantilevered outside the trusses. In 2016, the Michigan Department of Transportation removed the bridge and replaced it with a wider structure. This bridge was restored and moved to Crystal Springs Street over the Dowagiac River in Pokagon Township, Cass County in 2017.

This type of structure is still in use in many lightweight aircraft using welded steel tube trusses. A box truss fuselage structure can also be built out of wood—often covered with plywood. Simple box structures may be rounded by the addition of supported lightweight stringers, allowing the fabric covering to form a more aerodynamic shape, or one more pleasing to the eye.

The trusses are fixed at their supports by iron straps bolted through the walls. Remains of a perimeter gallery with timber floor and cast and wrought iron brackets survives but with the balustrade missing. The gallery brackets are also fixed to the iron straps. Evidence exists for the original location of the stairs from this gallery to the north end of the space.

The whole was installed at the castle in 1924. The space originally allocated for the study was too low to create the impression desired by Morgan and Hearst, a difficulty Morgan surmounted by raising the roof and supporting the ceiling with concrete trusses. These, and the walls, were painted with frescoes by Camille Solon. Light was provided by two ranges of clerestory windows.

Pleasure Beach Bridge is a riveted Warren through-truss, consisting of longitudinal members joined only by angled cross-members, forming alternately inverted equilateral triangle-shaped spaces along the length. The bridge is supported by timber pilings. The swing span is made of two separate Warren through-trusses that pivots on concrete pier. The operator's house is located on the mainland approach.

1876 – The largest industry was the Alexander Hat Factory at First Avenue and Franklin Street. 1877 – The Lebanon Valley Railroad bridge was destroyed during the railroad riot. 1884 – The Penn Street Bridge is replaced with one made with steel trusses. 1898 – Spring Township builds a new eight-room brick school building on the northeast corner of Fifth Avenue and Chestnut Street.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Kentucky. There are twelve authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Kentucky, and they are all historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

It was used as a Baptist Chapel for 250 years from 1720. The walls are supported by large sloping buttresses. The hall, which is the main room of the building, has an oak roof divided into four bays, with five arch- braced trusses. Since 1975 the house has been run by the Landmark Trust who carried out extensive renovation work.

Due to its historical and architectural relevance, ATM occasionally opens the depot to visitors. The main structure of the building is composed of cast-iron piers surmounted by iron trusses; the roof comprises both glass panes and cotto tiles. The overall covered area is . It houses about 150 trams as well as other vehicles devoted to railway maintenance and other support tasks.

A brass communion rail separates the chancel from the body of the church. St Mark's has hammerbeam roof trusses and the underside of the roof is lined with diagonally arranged timber boarding. High level openings, which are now generally of glass louvres, were previously filled with timber panels, operable from inside the church, allowing light and ventilation. Some of these panels remain.

The bridge is highly intact and provides physical evidence of early twentieth century railway bridge design and construction in Queensland. The Harlin Rail Bridge illustrates the evolution in the principal characteristics of steel railway bridges around the turn of the century, especially the change to the through and half-through Pratt trusses from 1908, which increased the structural strength of rail bridges.

The trusses have horizontal and parallel top and bottom chords, apart with inclined posts at each end. Diagonals are designed for tension with greater stress expected toward the span's end. A single counterbrace in the third panel and a pair in the fourth, each of round rods with turnbuckles. Bracing at the upper chord and at the lower chord adds strength.

Adjoining this building is the 1928 addition; a corrugated iron clad structure with a rectangular chimney clad in corrugated iron and sheet metal. The interior is a single room clad in fibrous cement and is currently formal dining room. Three timber trusses support the gabled roof and the floor is timber. The large fireplace is timber and is lined with bricks and concrete.

Church Street Bridge 1924. Architects Harold Desbrowe- Annear and Thomas Ramsden Ashworth. The first bridge on the site was an iron girder bridge built in 1857. Purchased from the British government at the end of the Crimean War, this bridge had a span with side trusses being solid riveted iron high, designed to prevent Russian snipers from killing British troops.

The warehouse extension at the western end of the site is attached to the warehouse. It occupies a large space and is fully enclosed with metal cladding except for doorways. It has a timber-framed double gable roof supported on stout stop-chamfered timber columns and trusses. The roof, like the exterior walls, is clad with later ribbed metal sheeting.

The bridge deck has been replaced by steel I-beams covered with wooden planking, so the trusses now only carry the superstructure. The joints between the truss posts and diagonals have also been reinforced with steel plating. with The bridge was built about 1877; its builder is unknown. It is one three period bridges in the town (all spanning the same river).

In 1851, a second bridge was built across the Shenandoah to become one of the earliest Bollman trusses in existence. A newer Bollman truss bridge, which carried both rail and highway traffic, opened in 1870. It was washed away in a flood in 1936. The two crossings today, which are on different alignments, are from the late 19th century and early 20th century.

The interior of the church is plastered. Between the nave and the aisles are five-bay arcades with clustered piers and carved capitals. The roof of the nave has scissor-braced trusses with pendants, and is supported by corbels carved as angels. The chancel arch is moulded, the chancel ceiling is panelled and painted, and around the chancel is a painted dado.

The 13-sided mainframes were apart, and were made up of diamond-shaped trusses connected by 13 main and 12 secondary longitudinal girders and a trapezoidal keel. There were two secondary ring frames between each pair of mainframes. The forward- mounted control car was directly attached to the hull. The cruciform tail surfaces were unbraced cantilevers and carried aerodynamically balanced elevators and rudders.

The bridge has been reinforced with laminated beams mounted below the trusses. The exterior is finished in vertical board siding, which extends around to the portal faces and a short way inside. There are square openings providing light to the interior of the structure, which is capped by a corrugated metal roof. The bridge was built in 1842 by Asa Nourse.

St John's is built of local stone and flint, with Hamstone dressings and slate roofs. It is made up of a five-bay nave, chancel, vestry and south porch, with an attached church hall. The west gable has a turret containing two bells and surmounted by a spire. The main timbers of the roof are formed into arched trusses, supported by stone corbels.

Nearby stood a covered bridge, supported by trusses of Childs' patent; this bridge was replaced by the existing double Town lattice truss railroad bridge in 1889. See Contoocook Railroad Bridge. All of the structures of the Contoocook rail center, with the exception of the depot, freight house, and bridge, had been removed by 1904. The freight house has since disappeared.

The skillion-roofed aisles also have raked clear finished timber boarded ceilings supported by exposed timber trusses. Narrow round arched windows illuminate the aisles and a set of timber doors with fanlight over open to the exterior. Shrines dedicated to Jesus and Mary are located at the southeast ends of the aisles. The sanctuary is located at the eastern end of the nave.

The posts were chemically treated to resist decay, greatly increasing the useful life of a building. In the 1950s and 1960s, metal-plate-connected wood trusses were developed, increasing roof spans, eventually up to 100′ (30 m). In the 1970s and 1980s, solid sawn posts were supplemented by laminated 2×6 and 2×8 posts, allowing taller buildings.Cleary Building Corp.

Closer to the top of the posts (staver), shorter sills inserted between them support the upper wall (tilevegg). On top of the posts wall plates (stavlægjer) support the roof trusses, similar to those of the single nave churches. The Kaupanger group consists of: Kaupanger, Urnes, Hopperstad and Lom. The Borgund group consists of: Borgund, Gol, Hegge, Høre (Hurum), Lomen, Ringebu and Øye.

It features an interesting ceiling structure with exposed ornate trusses. It has been damaged by later work, and division of the building into offices makes appreciation of the interior difficult. In 1909 the Church sold the Corrimal Street site and the Glebe land to the south to the city. They used the funds to make "extensive alterations" to the interior of St. Michael's.

The roof trusses sit on the unfinished stone block brackets. The reredos (panels behind the Holy Table) is fixed up against the internal stone wall. The windows to the nave and transepts all have Gothic paired "cusped lancets" with stained glass windows. The doors are generally double timber ledged framed doors with cover strip made to fit the Gothic arches.

The auditorium section at the rear is built of concrete block faced in stucco. Its roof slopes gently from front to back at the same grade as the floor inside. A brick chimney rises from the south section of the EPDM rubber roof. The tops of two wooden trusses, added later to shore up the building, are visible as well.

Interior of the east entrance. The trusses that support the roof were designed by roller-coaster designer Kent Seko. Many of the convention center's most striking visual features were achieved through the use of Hollow Structural Steel (HSS) in exposed applications by its architects, Atlanta-based Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates working with a local firm, Gillies Stransky Brems Smith Architects.

The three center spans are Baltimore through trusses each long. The longer span on the Fort Benton bank is a -long Camelback through truss bridge built after a 1908 flood destroyed a cantilevered swing span and its central pier. The shortest span is a Pratt through truss Pratt truss which is long, on the far side from Fort Benton. With .

The system uses heavy timbers reinforced with iron or steel rods. The trusses have central beams and crossed timbers with adjustable, vertical iron rods to support the structural load.Hauser, Susan, "Over the River and Through the Bridge", The New York Times, New York, New York, March 23, 2003. The Goodpasture Bridge is one of the most photographed bridges in the state of Oregon.

Three pin trusses were to be employed, which where to be brought to the ground to provide intermediate support. The roof was to be continuous. This truss and roof configuration was to be based on that of the Union Station, St Louis, visited by Deane in 1894. Such a roof would have rivalled those of the major metropolitan termini in Europe and America.

To the east of the railway line is the site of Benskins Brewery, the office building for which is now Watford Museum. The brewery was rail-served by sidings until 1956. The station is situated in a deep cutting covered by a single platform canopy. The roof of the canopy is connected to the concrete sided cutting by ornamental metal trusses.

Hogarth Kingeekuk Sr. Memorial School or Savoonga School is a K-12 school in Savoonga, Alaska. It is a part of the Bering Strait School District. The school serves as a community center for Savoonga residents. ECI/Hyer Architecture and Interiors built the current school facility, which has asymmetrical trusses and covered entry and exit porches that use Alaska Native-style poles.

After several hours of uncontrolled fire, the steel columns, girders and trusses absorbed heat and rapidly lost their strength. As they began to sag, deform and buckle, the interior structure below the east penthouse was brought down. The failed core columns' load was distributed to the remaining columns which all failed. This led to the progressive collapse of the building.

Eyebars are used in portions of pin-jointed trusses where it can be established by engineering procedures that the bar will not be imposed with any stress other than tension under all expected conditions. Eyebars are used to supplement roof truss framing supports made of wood or metal. They are placed as the struts for the trust, located next to the king joist.

The interior walls are plastered, the south wall of the tower having an inbuilt window from the earlier Norman church. The nave roof is of trusses and rafters. The nave floor is part plain flagstone and part wood plank, with the chancel's of decorative encaustic tiles. The pews and choir stalls are of pine, and date to the 1870 modification.

Wrought iron trusses were added, running the length of the bridge. On December 1, 1866, pedestrians walked upon the bridge, known locally only as "The Suspension Bridge," for the first time. Over 166,000 people walked across in the first two days. Final touches were put on the bridge over the next few months, and construction officially ended in July 1867.

A planar truss lies in a single plane. Planar trusses are typically used in parallel to form roofs and bridges. The depth of a truss, or the height between the upper and lower chords, is what makes it an efficient structural form. A solid girder or beam of equal strength would have substantial weight and material cost as compared to a truss.

Component connections are critical to the structural integrity of a framing system. In buildings with large, clearspan wood trusses, the most critical connections are those between the truss and its supports. In addition to gravity-induced forces (a.k.a. bearing loads), these connections must resist shear forces acting perpendicular to the plane of the truss and uplift forces due to wind.

The bridge is a nine-span timber truss viaduct. Each span is , centre-to-centre, of timber trestles. The trusses are deck Queen post copied from one of Brunel's Cornish timber bridges (St Germans), built about 30 years earlier. The condition was assessed as fair as at 5 April 2006, having declined due to lack of maintenance since rail services were suspended.

The Sunday River Bridge is a Paddleford truss bridge spanning the Sunday River in western Newry, Maine, a small town in western Oxford County. It is long and wide, with a total height of , and rests on cut granite abutments. Its internal clearance is in height and in width. The trusses consist of a series of crossed braces between King posts.

The 17-span flood bridge on the eastern bank is similar to the reconstructed parts of the pre-war bridge, with parallel trusses built with timber framing and the tracks carried on the upper truss and piers at intervals of 35.25 m. The section of line that includes the new bridge was opened on 29 May 1960. It was electrified in 1964.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Maryland. There are six authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Maryland of which five are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

Aníbal Coutinho intended to bring a paulistano flair to the construction using structures that resemble the São Paulo Museum of Art, a symbol of the city. The height of the roof and weight of the trusses required the use of the largest crawler crane available in Latin America. The steel beams together weigh 4,000 tons. The roof has four layers.

George Seybold House, also known as the Fred W. Kelley House, is a historic home located at Waveland, Montgomery County, Indiana. It was built in 1886 and is a three-story, Stick style frame dwelling with a 1½-story rear wing. The building features embellished gable ends with decorative vergeboards, king post trusses, and brackets. Note: This includes and Accompanying photographs.

The siding does not rise all the way to the roof, leaving an open strip between them. Unlike most Town lattice trusses, this one has three chords instead of four, and its joints are fastened with single pegs instead of doubled one. with The bridge was built in 1910; its builder is unknown. It is the only covered bridge in Troy.

The North facade of the building was remodeled, hiding the Elizabethan framing. The trusses of the East end provide evidence that this was originally the cross-wing of a still older building, demolished during the Elizabethan-era alterations. It is possible that the cellars beneath the central portion date from this earlier building. This would have been the manor house of Aston Munslow.

The Lake Fish Hatchery Historic District comprises nine buildings built between 1930 and 1932 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the National Park Service Rustic style. The buildings exhibit a consistency of style and construction, with exposed gable trusses and oversized paired logs at the corners, all with brown paint.Kaiser, Harvey (1997). "Landmarks in the Landscape", San Francisco: Chronicle Books , p.

Interior columns are comparatively few and located at the core. The distance between the exterior and the core frames is spanned with beams or trusses and can be column-free. This maximizes the effectiveness of the perimeter tube by transferring some of the gravity loads within the structure to it, and increases its ability to resist overturning via lateral loads.

Single- storey timber frame weatherboard building on brick piers with wings at either side of gable at the eastern end and enclosed north-facing verandah. Corrugated asbestos cement roof. Carpet on timber floor; butt jointed masonite wall linings with timber dado some plasterboard; battened masonite ceiling with exposed trusses; timber frame windows and doors with later aluminium windows north side. Fireplace sheeted over.

The layout of the administration and classroom blocks, the covered links between them and associated open spaces, reflect the early 1950s introduction of master planning, which provided for ordered growth from a nucleus. The timber school building with timber floor trusses (1954) and the two timber school buildings with open web steel floor trusses (1959–60, and 1961) represent the evolution of Department of Public Works designs during the mid to late 1950s to allow for unimpeded play space under highset timber school buildings. The former domestic science and manual training timber vocational buildings (both 1955) reflect the Queensland Government's focus on vocational training as a way of ensuring the state's economic prosperity. The northern section of the administration block (1957–58) represents a move away from the austerity of the early 1950s to a more permanent aesthetic, incorporating masonry elements.

The old line was retained as far as North Ipswich to serve the locomotive and carriage sheds and workshops. Upgrading of the Main Line continued. In 1891-1892 the original 40 pound iron rails were replaced with harder wearing steel rails. Similarly all bridges on the Main Line were upgraded around the turn of the century to carry locomotives over twice the weight of the original ones. In 1899 it was decided to duplicate the rail track between Ipswich and Wulkuraka, to regrade the section between Ipswich and Rosewood and to raise the level of the Sadliers Crossing Rail Bridge so flood waters could not inundate it as happened in 1893. As a result of the disastrous 1893 floods Whipple trusses, like that used on the Sadliers Crossing Railway Bridge, were preferred for railway bridges until the introduction of through Pratt trusses.

This primary support is supplemented by a queen post truss system that flank the king truss walls. The trusses are mounted on abutments that are primarily fieldstone, but were capped in concrete in the 20th century. The mounting is secured by iron tension rods. The exterior walls of the bridge are vertical boarding with four windows; this finish was also rehabilitated in the 1960s.

The Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre consists of a skyscraper and an eight-floor podium, that is connected to the skyscraper. The podium features a high atrium with a glass roof. The skyscraper is supported by a square core with sides of and eight concrete mega columns on the sides. They are linked by outriggers and belt trusses, that are located exclusively on mechanical and refuge floors.

Gablet roof Another variation is the gablet (UK terminology) or Dutch gable roof (U.S. and Australasian terminology), which has a hip with a small gable (the gablet) above it. This type simplifies the construction of the roof; no girder trusses are required, but it still has level walls and consistent eaves. The East Asian hip-and-gable roof is similar in concept to the gablet roof.

The spans are, in the main, limited and suggest very simple beam and post structures spanning stone walls. For the longer spans, it is uncertain if the Greeks or Romans invented the truss but the Romans certainly used timber roof trusses. Before 650 B.C.E. the now famous ancient Greek temples were built of wood, but after this date began to be built of stone.Hunt, Norman.

The hall represents significant religious development in Seven Hills, a small, single-storey brick building with gable-ended roof in galvanised iron and Gothic arched windows. The roof is wooden with scissor-style trusses. Until 1954 its roof was covered with slates. Problems with settlement of foundations have been reasonably successfully stabilised many years ago by iron tie-bars bolted transveresly across the building.

The House at 674 Elliot Drive is a historic home located at 674 Elliot Drive in Pasadena, California. The wood frame house was built in 1911 for rancher Winslow B. Ross. Architect Arthur Heineman designed the home in the American Craftsman style. The front porch of the house is topped by a large gable supported by Tuscan columns and a patterned system of rafter trusses.

The interior is simple, with a choir as a transition area at the entrance, and behind the chapel of souls. It is built with adobe walls, plastered and whitewashed. The roof is of shingles over wood trusses. Inside it preserves a heritage of religious art: the image of the patron saint San Joaquin, (perhaps from a workshop in Upper Peru) a St. Joseph and a Nazarene.

The Cabanes du Breuil are located 9 km from Sarlat and 12 km from Les Eyzies, at a place called Calpalmas. They make up the outbuildings of a former agricultural farm comprising a single-storey house with a two-sided roof of stone tiles over wooden trusses, of a type commonly found in the Sarlat region. The farmyard gate bears an inscribed date: 1841.

Orange coloured corrugated metal sheets wrap around the inner and outer edges of the roof trusses. This inexpensive cladding enhances the appearance of the stadium greatly. It is an ultra modern stadium with eight line competition synthetic athletic track and 4-lane synthetic practice track. It uses the latest high- mast lighting for day-night events and provides obstruction-free viewing for all spectators.

Ground was broken on October 30, 1980, and construction was completed in 1983. The tower's base is structured into a five-story glass garden atrium. It also houses a fitness center on the top two floors of the contiguous parking structure, and a 400-seat conference center named the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association Conference Center. One Cleveland Center also uses Citigroup Center-style diagonal trusses.

It uses a set of curved trusses, like those of the earlier New Street Station in Birmingham, interrupted in the middle by a drum. The elliptical dome's span is 66.9 meters by 56.5 meters. The wrought-iron dome of St. Augustin's church in Paris dates from 1870 and spans 25.2 meters. A wrought-iron dome was also built over Jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre in 1870, spanning 23 meters.

The nave measures by and dates from the 12th century and is the oldest part of the church. The nave roof is 15th-century with massive tie beams. Four of the trusses have octagonal crown posts of unusual workmanship for a village Church. When the roof was re-tiled in 1935, the 7" x 7" beams were found to be as sound as when originally installed.

The building design emphasizes the use of repetition, symmetry and contrast. Steel supports, such as framing and trusses, and translucent glazing are used throughout. Symmetry is evident when viewing the building on the ground plane, towards the main entrance of the Palm House. Two main entrances are situated on the south and the north side of the main façade with alike ornamentation above the entry doors.

The Foundry Bridge is located in the village of North Tunbridge, providing access across the First Branch White River to rural eastern parts of the town via Foundry Road. The bridge is a single-span Warren pony truss, set on abutments of dry laid stone. The bridge is trapezoidal in profile, its trusses in length. The roadway width is , with a total structure width of .

A sixth track on the west side outside the shed was used for private railway cars where the rich could disembark in privacy and hook their private cars up to steam heating from the station. The glass roof was supported by a canopy of 24 iron trusses. Extensive iron awnings sheltered express wagons on the east side and passenger cabs on the North Street side.Latta, p.

The second historic structure was the bridge over the Prairie River in Centreville. This camelback pony truss span was moved to that location in 1938–39, although it was originally built on an unknown location in 1923. In the move, two sidewalks, one on either side of the trusses, were eliminated from the structure. This project was part of Public Works Administration relief work in the area.

The covered bridge was built in the Howe style, a type of construction, which introduced iron rods into the bridge trusses. That popular design served as a transition from wooden bridges to those built of iron and steel. The bridge was 30 feet high and spanned 163 feet over Long Cane Creek. It rested on two stone abutments with four supporting piers in the creek bed.

At the SSPF, space station modules, trusses and solar arrays are prepped and made ready for launch. The low and high bays are fully air conditioned and ambient temperature is maintained at at all times. Workers and engineers wear full non-contaminant clothing while working. Modules receive cleaning and polishing, and some areas are temporarily disassembled for the installation of cables, electrical systems and plumbing.

Its end portals are at the center, and have rounded corners. The structural elements of the trusses are joined by rivets. The bridge derives its name from loosely laid deck boards, which rattled when they were driven on. with The bridge was built in 1908 by the American Bridge Company, as part of a program begun in 1892 by the state to improve its transport infrastructure.

The southern facade features large banks of timber-framed top-hung awning windows along the first floor. The raked eaves are unlined and supported by timber struts fixed to window mullions below. At the west end, the ground floor wall is set back and divided into bays by the projecting tapered edges of the timber trusses. Windows within the bays are awning windows with modern louvres above.

The living room features exposed log trusses supporting the roof and a two-sided rubblestone fireplace designed by Omaha architect George. B. Prinze. The overscale fireplace faces into the living room and onto the porch just outside the living room. The site includes a number of outbuildings, including a machine shop-storage shed, pumphouse, root cellar, three guest cabins, a barn and two privies.

The bridge was built in 1886 by Horace King's son Washington King and Johnathan H. Burke. The bridge spans 138 feet. The lattice trusses consist of planks crisscrossing at 45- to 60-degree angles and are fastened with wooden pegs, or trunnels, at each intersection.Georgia Historical Society Historic Marker Traffic finally stopped across the bridge in 1980 when a new two-lane bridge was built.

Clifford Pier, Singapore Clifford Pier's roof structure Clifford Pier was designed by the Public Works Department, where Frank Dorrington Ward was then the Chief Architect in the 1930s. The pier has a simple but unique architecture with a roof structure comprising concrete arched trusses in a riband form. Details, such as brackets and even the fire hose cabinets, were evidently designed with much consideration.

In November 1864, Ramsbottom reported that there were eight locomotives stabled at the junction, although the facilities were only intended for two. He proposed the enlargement of the accommodation but the L&NWR; preferred to construct new facilities on its own metals at Abergavenny (Brecon Road). A brick-built carriage shed with timber roof trusses was provided in the early 1920s to the south of the platforms.

Félix-Gabriel-Marchand Bridge is a covered bridge in the Township of Mansfield-et-Pontefract, Quebec, Canada, that crosses the Coulonge River near Fort-Coulonge. Constructed in 1898, this long bridge is the longest covered bridge in Quebec. This bridge is unique in Quebec because of its combination of Town and Queenpost trusses. It is registered as an historic building by the Quebec government.

Many subjects did not respond well, experiencing dizziness and other ill effects. One of the chief engineers Leslie Robertson worked with Canadian engineer Alan G. Davenport to develop viscoelastic dampers to absorb some of the sway. These viscoelastic dampers, used throughout the structures at the joints between floor trusses and perimeter columns, along with some other structural modifications reduced the building sway to an acceptable level.

Camp Massanetta is arranged in four "villages" labeled A, B, C and D. Buildings are of frame construction on concrete slabs with rough siding. Deep overhanging eaves are supported by diagonal braces with a modern look. Interiors are austere with open trusses and minimal finishes. The Bell Auditorium is the chief building in the camps, which continues the theme of deep overhangs supported by diagonals.

The Barnett–Criss House around the late 1800s The rectangular house sits on top of a sandstone basement with water table separating house from basement. The house facade is lined with wooden siding. The front of the house is accentuated by a front porch containing slender posts on broad bases. The posts are decorated with trusses reaching from each post to make an arch.

A larger hip- roofed cross section extends at the back of the main building. The tower is square for two stories, then begins a steeply-pitched roof section that ends in an open belfry, with a small pyramidal roof at the top. Stick decorations adorn its gables. The interior is modestly decorated, with exposed curved roof trusses, and decorative woodwork in the chancel area.

Queen-post trusses form the roof with a horizontal boarded ceiling under the collar beam which rakes away to the cornice. The ceiling features square latticed vents, and the projecting transept houses the organ and has a flat ceiling with two curved timber brackets. Internal timber is unpainted. A carved timber cross and the organ pipes are positioned above the tie-beam in front of the transept.

The building's dutch gables This shingle roofed single storey limestone building in a Victorian Tudor style with Dutch gables, was constructed utilising convict labour. Additions were carried out by the PWD. The building was firstly constructed as a single room with a porch with curvilinear parapeted gables and finials. It has a steeply pitched roof supported on timber trusses and once had perimeter windows.

The pan letters of the sign were severely corroded along their bases. Some pieces of this section of the sign had fallen from the structure. Although the fixing bolts of the letters are in reasonable condition, there is an immediate risk that other places may fall. Some nuts and bolts on the rear support trusses are corroded to the point where they no longer exist.

It also incorporated large sliding doors on the west and south, façades that allowed for ventilation to regulate the temperature. The ceiling height was greatly increased, and by the use of steel columns and roof trusses the number of columns within the space were reduced to a single row of seven in the centre. The saw tooth roof form was retained but the scale increased dramatically.

Due to high pressure on the cofferdam, temporary timber trusses were used to brace the cofferdam. A pad of concrete, overlaid with waterproof-cement, was then placed at the bottom of the pit. The method was not only cheaper than the then-standard method of driving caissons down to bedrock, but also provided space for more basement floors. The superstructure consists of of steel.

At one end is a large fieldstone chimney with sloping shoulders and a builtin bench. The structure is covered by a roof supported by heavy wooden trusses with rounded rafter ends. The floor of the shelter is flagstone. The shelter was built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and is one of many CCC structures recognized in a Connecticut-wide thematic resources study.

The Goods Shed is a large timber and steel framed shed with gable ends, with recent colorbond cladding. Steel columns are located to the northern side, elsewhere the frame is timber. The roof trusses are composite timber and steel with steel rods as tension members. A single track enters the shed at the western and eastern ends through new hinged double gates clad with colorbond.

The bridge is a steel spandrel-braced (cantilever) arched design with a concrete deck. There are five arched trusses, each long, and two approach spans at each end, all supported by a foundation of stone piers. The deck is wide, and consists of two vehicle lanes, each flanked by a pedestrian sidewalk. The bridge originally contained trolley tracks, but these were removed in 1950.

To protect the DLR, which continued to operate throughout construction, a concrete slab was installed above the railway that formed the base of the West Podium. This would support the upper floors and also act as an assembly deck during construction operations. The five levels of the West Podium are suspended from transfer trusses at the higher levels. The building was topped out on 8 November 2002.

Alexander Graham Bell from 1898 to 1908 developed space frames based on tetrahedral geometry. Bell's interest was primarily in using them to make rigid frames for nautical and aeronautical engineering, with the tetrahedral truss being one of his inventions. Dr. Ing. Max Mengeringhausen developed the space grid system called MERO (acronym of MEngeringhausen ROhrbauweise) in 1943 in Germany, thus initiating the use of space trusses in architecture.

As locomotives increased in weight and as the weaknesses of cast-iron bridges became more apparent, the bridges were replaced. The bridge is a rare survivor from that era. On September 29, 1977, the bridge was added to the national list of Registered Historic Places. By 1986, vibrations and isolated corrosion in the trusses caused traffic officials and local residents to start worrying about its safety.

As it is driven in, the taper forces the two components into alignment, allowing for easy insertion of the fastener. Unlike most punches, force should never be applied to the tip of drift pin. Drift pins are especially useful for aligning fastener holes in structural steel members. Spud wrenches used for assembling trusses and steel beams have tapered handles to use as drift pins.

The Forry's Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Chiques Creek in West Hempfield in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. A county- owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the Big Chiques #7 Bridge. (Chiques Creek was known as Chickies Creek until 2002). The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods.

The Leaman's Place Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans Pequea Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. A county-owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the Pequea #4 Bridge. The bridge is also known as Eshelman's Mill Covered Bridge and Paradise Bridge. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods.

The Weaver's Mill Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans the Conestoga River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. The , bridge was built in 1878 by B. C. Carter and J. F. Stauffer across Conestoga River. It is also known as Isaac Shearer's Mill Bridge. The bridge has a single span, wooden, double Burr arch trusses design with the addition of steel hanger rods.

Completed by mid-December 2003, the cost of installation is estimated to be HK$5.5 million. Intelligent lighting is distributed across six sections of the building: # Vertical Ladder Trusses # Exoskeleton: Inner + Outer # Refuge Floors # Northwest Stairwell # Eastern Stairwells # Roof Building Maintenance Units HSBC has always aimed to adopt a new lighting scheme because Foster did not pay much attention to the illumination of the building at nighttime.

Remaining fuel, oil, paint, and other toxic material was removed. Flooded compartments of the ship were either pumped out or blown out with compressed air to reduce the wreck's weight. Finally, on July 14, 1990 Mesquite was lifted off its ledge. When her full weight was carried by the trusses, the heavy-lift barge had less than of clearance to the bottom of the lake.

Its exterior is sheathed in vertical board siding and is topped by a gabled roof. Its trusses have been reinforced with iron tie rods and other metal elements. The bridge was built in 1869 on a site that is believed to have had a bridge since 1789. It is believed to be the only example of a Queenspost truss bridge in southern New Hampshire.

The entire bridge is long, with a span length of and a width of . The span consists of two identical seven-panel, camelback Pratt pony trusses. Sidewalks are attached to the outside of each truss; the railings were originally concrete balustrades with urn-shaped spindles, but these have been replaced with angles with bar spindles. Solid concrete parapets line the approaches at each end of the bridge.

The batteries and the battery charge/discharge units are manufactured by Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), under contract to Boeing. N-H2 batteries on the P6 truss were replaced in 2009 and 2010 with more N-H2 batteries brought by Space Shuttle missions. There are batteries in Trusses P6, S6, P4, and S4. Since 2017, nickel-hydrogen batteries are being replaced by lithium-ion batteries.

The roof trusses are exposed timber with timber weatherboard ceiling lining. ;High stone wall Random coursed high sandstone wall with brick coursing and dressed sandstone copings at its apex. It is covered with thick vegetation on the western side. ;Sea wall Sandstone wall of random sized stones at the edge of the tidal zone, with some rough cement bonding and integrated with the naturally occurring rock.

Poor construction of the bridge's diagonals worsened the stresses placed on the lugs on the angle blocks. Howe trusses rely on prestressing of braces and counter-braces to improve the way the bridge carries load. Tightening the nuts on the vertical posts (prestressing) puts the verticals in tension (stretches them). If the diagonals are already closely fitted to the angle blocks, prestressing compresses the diagonals.

Unequal loading of the angle blocks worsened the metal fatigue. The construction of the upper chord of the bridge was also poor. This chord consisted of five I-beams running in parallel. Having all five members end at panel joints actually weakened a bridge, so Howe trusses were built so that three ended at one panel connection and the other two at the next panel connection.

The anchor arms are each, while the cantilever arms are each. The bridge deck hangs from panel points in the lower chord of the main trusses with 39 pairs of hangers. The roadways beyond the towers are supported from ground, leaving the anchor arms free from deck load. The deck system includes cross girders suspended between the pairs of hangers by a pinned connection.

The bridge opened in 1921 and, on 28 July 1921, was officially opened by the Minister of Public Works, J. G. Coates. It was wide and long, made up of 3 x , a and a span. Two piers were in the river on concrete cylinders sunk below normal water-level. The others were reinforced concrete on concrete piling and the deck and trusses of Australian hardwood.

Its trusses are built out of Douglas fir, and its roof is corrugated metal. The exterior is clad in vertical board-and-batten siding. The bridge was constructed by the Pacific Bridge Company, its major elements manufactured at a plant in Alameda, and was installed in 1872. It was built for the California Powder Works, whose main manufacturing plant was on the east side of the river.

A broad entryway leads to the sanctuary, which is a wide, low room containing a rear gallery and pews set in concentric rows around a low pulpit. The ceiling is supported by open timber trusses. All the trim is of red oak. Also on the property is a Temple House, which is a utilitarian, three-story, brick structure faced with stonework which echoing that of the church.

The concept of suspending the rocket was one of the novelties introduced with the R-7/Soyuz. Since the launch pad has been eliminated, the bottom portion of the rocket is lowered. The launch system trusses bear the wind loads. Resistance to high wind is an important feature of the launch system, as the Kazakhstan steppes, where the Baikonur launch site is located, are known for windstorms.

However, the entrance vestibule and first floor hallway have a marble stairway with marble faced walls and a vaulted ceiling. The garages and warehouse are open spaces with concrete floors and walls and exposed ceiling trusses. The remainder of the main building is painted brick and concrete block walls and concrete floors. Currently, areas that were built as open warehouse spaces have been subdivided into office areas.

The Plattsmouth Bridge is a truss bridge over the Missouri River connecting Cass County, Nebraska and Mills County, Iowa at Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Until 2014, it carried U.S. Highway 34 across the river. The bridge has seven spans, including the cantilevered through truss over the river's navigable channel. It is anchored by through spans, with two and two deck trusses over the eastern flood plain.

The two buildings are important for their intact interiors including; roof trusses, timber lined ceilings, joinery, and apse stair. The design allowed for large schoolrooms combined with small classrooms that accommodated galleried seating, features essential to the nineteenth century Lancastrian teaching system. They are rare surviving Queensland examples of schools designed to accommodate this system of education. The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.

A cantilevered observation deck, long, allows visitors to look out over the marshlands. The enclosed walkway deck was constructed of laminated veneer lumber and steel bar trusses. Concrete and steel anchors transfer the force to the ground. The structure was described as "singular" in a paper by Professor J. L. Fernández- Cabo, who compared it to the large cantilevered timber roof of a pavilion at Hanover fairgrounds.

The exterior is clad in vertical board siding which stops short of the eaves, leaving an open strip near the top. The siding extends across the portals and a short way to their interior. The deck is made of wooden planking. with The bridge was built by George W. Holmes in 1897, and is one of only nine surviving Burr trusses in the state.

The first bridge was proposed in 1986, when the Town of Foster decided to build a covered bridge in honor of Rhode Island's 350th birthday. The wood was donated by Providence Water Supply. It used Town lattice trusses and was built over an existing steel bridge. Approval from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation came in 1992, and construction began on 12 September 1992.

The side aisles are further divided by round archways defining each of the bays of the nave and springing from the compound columns of the principal arcades. Also demarcating the six internal bays are a number of heavy, dark stained timber, scissor roof trusses. They are supported on white painted concrete corbels with simple mouldings. The ceiling of the church is lined with stained pine rafters.

The interior of the building has large concrete pillars supporting exposed timber roof trusses. Recent offices, meeting rooms and conference rooms have been constructed within the building and are enclosed with plasterboard partitions. A canteen is located in the northwestern corner of the building. The Power House (1917) is an imposing red brick building with a substantial, octagonal brick chimney at its northwestern corner.

3–4 The roof beams are supported by steeply angled scissor trusses that form an X shape with a narrow top span and a broader bottom span, tied by a bottom truss to prevent collapse. Additional support is given by a truss that cuts across the X, below the crossing point but above the bottom truss. The roof is steeply pitched, boarded horizontally and clad with shingles.

The Footbridge spans across the railway lines from west to east connecting the two parts of Grafton Street. There are three central spans, and approach sections at each end of some . It is framed with steel lattice trusses, with timber decking and steps. The handrails are back- to-back steel angles, and together with the steel stringers, incorporate a curve down to the landing of the stair.

Archbishop Halse with other clergy at the Bishopbourne Chapel, 1954 The chapel is constructed of Brisbane tuff, to a simple rectangular plan . The ambience created is that of a medieval shrine blending with Queensland vernacular and derived stylistic elements of the early 20th century. thick walls with buttresses support a steeply pitched, slate-clad roof. The roof structure of six timber trusses is exposed.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Wisconsin. There are three authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Wisconsin; only one of them is historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

Hangars Two and Three at Moffett Field are long, wide and high, with an extruded parabolic form that reflected the profile of the airship vessels to be accommodated. A total of 51 Douglas Fir heavy-timber trusses resting on concrete bent frames contain the two-story shop and office areas. Two concrete and wood post and lintel structures support high multi-track rolling doors at either end.

The Buffalo River Bridge is a historic bridge, carrying Arkansas Highway 7 across the Buffalo River in northeastern Newton County, Arkansas. It is located in the Buffalo National River, managed by the National Park Service. It is an unusual Pennsylvania through truss, with a center span of and a total structure length of . The central truss is flanked at the ends by eight-panel Warren trusses.

The individual modules of the steel houses were assembled on site. The rectangular outer wall panels were made of thick steel plate with a size of and were placed next to each other. The interior walls were made of hardboard or plywood panels, which were insulated by glass wool mats from the outer steel sheets. The roof structure was formed from standardized trusses in length.

In the interior, the nave is unlined, and timber trusses, resting on small masonry pillars, support the roof. The sanctuary is lined with plaster and its ceiling features three paintings by the noted artist R. Godfrey Rivers. The hall is a timber structure on concrete stumps. Cruciform in shape with a proscenium stage, it has a gabled corrugated iron roof surmounted by a central ventilation lantern.

To achieve this, the contractors installed a structural deck that acted both as a work platform for the demolition work and as a safety barrier. This was jacked upwards as each successive office floor was removed. When all the office floors and upper support trusses had been removed, the concrete core was de-stressed and demolished. Concurrently, the 25,000 cubic metre basement was propped and excavated.

On April 18, 2006, the main span of the Jamestown Bridge was brought down by 75 pounds of RDX explosives and 350 shaped charges. TNT charges were later used to remove the concrete piers. On May 18, 2006, crews imploded the trusses that once carried the side spans. Throughout mid-2006, workers removed the remaining support piers and low-level approach spans west of the main channel.

The bridge has two spans, resting on granite block abutments and a central pier. The total length of the bridge is , and it is from the flooring to the peak of the gable roof. The total width is ; the portals have an internal width of and height of . The bridge trusses are from a design by Peter Paddleford, a modification of the more common Long truss.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Washington state. There are six authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Washington, and two of them are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

The 1931 Jeffersonville Bridge was a Parker through truss structure, with steel girder approaches at both ends. It rested on concrete abutment, and was long, carrying two lanes of traffic and a pedestrian walkway; the latter was cantilevered on the outside of one of the trusses. The total length of the bridge was about . It had a deck of concrete laid on steel I-beam stringers.

The hall includes four Victorian Ash Architectural Trusses spanning 13 meters long. In April 2016 Whittlesea Library launched the Mr Whittles Robot program. "Mr Whittles" is a telepresence robot on a miniature segway-style base with an iPad mounted on a telescopic pole to engage isolated seniors in the community. Less mobile residents can have access to virtual tours, consultations and events without leaving home.

The trusses were manufactured by the American Bridge Company, and the bridge was assembled by the United Construction Company of Albany, New York. with The Swanton Covered Railroad Bridge, spanning the Missisquoi River, was built in 1895. By 1973, when it was listed on the National Register, it had been taken out of service and was in deteriorating condition. with It was destroyed by fire in 1987.

Weston is a village in Nottinghamshire, England. It is located 10 miles south of Retford. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 312,"Area: Weston CP (Parish)" increasing to 393 (and including Grassthorpe) at the 2011 Census. The parish church of All Saints is 13th century. At the south-east end of the village are three 16th century tenements built with cruck trusses.

Below is a list of covered bridges in California. There are ten authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of California, and six of them are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

The Whipple truss was developed by Squire (CE) Whipple as a stronger version of the Pratt truss that was designed by Thomas and Caleb Pratt in 1844. The basic identifying features of the Pratt truss are the diagonal web members which form a V-shape. The centre section commonly has crossing diagonal members. The Pratt truss and its variations are the most common type of all trusses.

Not that I do not understand my trade... a member of Parliament said that he would not allow a native to do the work, which should be done by Europeans. We are dismissed. You are running the whole show... but please treat us better. Mapikela was mainly involved in the erection of timber roof trusses, and the installation or manufacturing of specialised timber items.

Manufacturing plants opened in 1774 in Pirna. In 1811 the physician Ernst Gottlob Pienitz opened a very large mental hospital in Castle Sonnenstein. But on September 14, 1813, French troops occupied Sonnenstein, forcing the evacuation of 275 patients, seizing supplies and tearing the roof trusses out to remove the threat of fire. In September 1813, emperor Napoleon temporarily lived at the Marienhaus at the market.

For the second phase of work, the church council were successful in obtaining a £120,000 grant from English Heritage among other donations and a Diocesan loan. The church's entire exterior was then refurbished and repaired, including the cupola, clock and western porch. A new roof was added and the timber trusses stabilised. The church's walls were painted white in line with the building's original colour.

The trusses have 22 panels, each wide, with the chords fastened to the posts by iron rods. The bridge was built about 1880 by James Tasker of nearby Cornish, a well-known regional builder of covered bridges. It underwent rehabilitation several times in the 20th century, including a complete rebuilding in 1963, when concrete abutments were laid, and steel beams were added to carry the active load.

Each piling was made of spruce tree trunks between long and wide. Atop each piling was granite blocks, then vertical brick piers, and finally cast-iron footings for the building's columns. Along portions of the south and west walls, the builders could not install pilings to provide foundations for the columns. These columns were instead supported by cantilevers made of trusses; six pairs of cantilevers were used.

The congregation had been dormant for over 40 years when they reorganized in 1843. By 1844 they had built their third church building on this site. This was removed to make way for a new building in 1878, portions of which remain visible today. These include the wood trusses in the nave and a small section of pews used by the Theodore Roosevelt family who worshiped here.

Yellow is the symbol of earth, the property of the Emperor. As such, it is often regarded as a symbol of grandeur, power and state. In the temple, gold (instead of yellow) is used on roof trusses, brackets, eaveboards, Door Gods and he Chinese characteristics of plaques. Blue, the colour of sky, is also an Imperial colour which signifies the colour of the east.

The current bridge is the fourth crossing over the Molonglo River. The first Commonwealth Avenue Bridge, completed 1916, was damaged in the 1922 flood. The second, using three Leychester-type trusses, was completed in 1924 and damaged in floods a year later. The third bridge, completed in 1927, was a modification of the 1924 bridge, by raising the bridge by and adding a fourth truss.

Below is a list of covered bridges in New Jersey. There are only two authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of New Jersey of which one is historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church, also known as St. Mark's, Capitol Hill, is a historic Episcopal church located at 3rd and A Streets, Southeast in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C.. Built 1888-1894, the church is an example of Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival architectures. The red brick structure has a modified basilica floorplan with no apse. The interior features cast iron columns and hammerbeam trusses.

Below is a list of covered bridges in Delaware. There are only three authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of Delaware of which two are historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

This marked the completion of the first phase of the old bridge's demolition. The approaches to the former main span were demolished on October 1, 2017, with the detonation of 944 small explosive charges. This was the largest explosive demolition in New York City and the first of a bridge there. The state would recycle the twenty trusses from the approaches, which weigh a combined .

DeSoto Bridge was a trussed deck-arch bridge that spanned the Mississippi River in St. Cloud, Minnesota. It was built in 1958 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The bridge was painted black, which is typical for railroad bridges but unusual for a highway bridge. The river banks on either side are relatively high, so the bridge required deep trusses which arched over the river.

Over each opening to the verandahs are high level narrow casement windows. The ceiling rakes from the walls to a line with the collar tie of the heavy timber trusses. To the east of the Court House is a single storey brick residence. The original plan form of this building is an "L" with an attached square room at the rear that was originally the Charge Room.

The siding does not rise all the way to the roof, and extends a shortway into the portals, sheltering the projecting upper ends. The abutments are made of roughly coursed dry laid stone. The trusses incorporate iron rods, which extend vertically from the bracing diagonals to the bottom chords. with The bridge was built about 1890 by Herman F. Townsend, a prominent local bridgewright.

Internally, the church is divided into nave and aisles by a nave arcade of pointed arched openings supported on clustered cast iron columns. In the spandrels of the arched openings are timber panels with foiled cutouts. Arched braced timber roof trusses support the roof and these also feature timber panels with foiled cutouts. Entrances from the transepts are concealed with timber panelled boxes around the doors.

The bridge trusses, built to the patented design of Ithiel Town, are protected by vertical board siding that rises about half their height, with a similar wall outside the sidewalk. Guy wires attached to the upstream side provide additional lateral support. The Route 9 facing end of the bridge. The bridge was built in 1879 out of spruce lumber, and the sidewalk was added about 1920.

The two trusses are joined at the centre and riveted together, forming one solid span across the gorge. The heel of each truss rests on a ball joint anchored to a notch cut into the cliff face. The bridge's construction was exceptionally difficult and costly, requiring the development of novel construction methods to deal with the difficult physical conditions of the site.The Railway Conquest of the World.

Flanking the entrances to the bridge and rising above the trusses are "L" shaped concrete pylons, square in appearance from the roadway. They are neo- classical in influence and have a Doric style entablature on a rusticated base. There are lights on decorative metal brackets facing the approaches. Repair work to the bridge was carried out in 1991 and it has since been repainted.

The Waterville Bridge in Swatara State Park in Pennsylvania is a lenticular truss Lenticular trusses, patented in 1878 by William Douglas (although the Gaunless Bridge of 1823 was the first of the type), have the top and bottom chords of the truss arched, forming a lens shape. A lenticular pony truss bridge is a bridge design that involves a lenticular truss extending above and below the roadbed.

Depending upon overall building design, the connections may also be required to transfer bending moment. Wood posts enable the fabrication of strong, direct, yet inexpensive connections between large trusses and walls. Exact details for post-to-truss connections vary from designer to designer, and may be influenced by post type. Solid-sawn timber and glulam posts are generally notched to form a truss bearing surface.

The Hectorville Covered Bridge consists of two Town lattice trusses, long, with a structure width of and a roadway width of (one lane). The bridge's exterior is clad in vertical board siding, and it is covered by a metal gable roof. The siding extends a short way into the portals to shelter the truss ends. The bridge decking consists of wooden planking on wooden stringers.

Below is a list of covered bridges in North Carolina. There are only three authentic covered bridges in the U.S. state of North Carolina of which one is historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

Below is a list of covered bridges in South Carolina. There is only one authentic covered bridge in the U.S. state of South Carolina, and it is historic. A covered bridge is considered authentic not due to its age, but by its construction. An authentic bridge is constructed using trusses rather than other methods such as stringers, a popular choice for non-authentic covered bridges.

All three Sullivan County covered bridges were built c. 1850 with Burr arch trusses. The Hillsgrove bridge was built for Sullivan County by Sadler Rogers (or Rodgers), a native of Forksville who was only 18 years old at the time. He built the Forksville bridge the same year. The Forksville and Hillsgrove bridges both cross Loyalsock Creek, with the latter about 5 miles (8 km) further downstream.

The bases of these structures are rubblestone that has been reinforced with concrete, with a top section that is contained within a timber cribwork. The structure is about wide and a similar height, with an internal clearance height of and width of . The support system for the two spans are Howe trusses. The exterior of the bridge is finished in vertical siding, and the roof is shingled.

The 1997 Conservation Management Plan noted that the roof of the central hall would require renewal, that some repairs had recently been made internally (but that more work was needed) and that the tie-rods in the roof trusses might need re-tightening. As at May 2001, the mess hall was substantially intact, and the stonework was in mainly good condition with the interior being generally satisfactory.

The Felt Mansion is a three-story, gable-roof, rectangular plan brick mansion. It is constructed of steel beams with a concrete and wire mesh lath, and sits on a concrete foundation. The roof is made of concrete slabs supported by steel trusses, and is covered with slate tiles. The main body of the house is six bays wide, flanked by slightly recessed four-bay wide wings.

The majority of the interior timber joinery is intact. A decorative roof lantern lights the fine timber stairwell in the 1901 wing. The 1892 wing also contains a more simply detailed timber stair. The upper room in this wing features heavy timber roof trusses with a diagonally boarded ceiling lined on the rake and timber honour boards dating back to the formation of the school.

There is a sidewalk cantilevered outside the downstream truss, and the roadway width is (two lanes). The bridge was designed in 1922 by Frank Garran, a state engineer, to conform to standards enacted by the state in 1921, and was completed in 1923. Its trusses were fabricated by the Palmer Steel Company of Holyoke, Massachusetts. The bridge was paid for by state and local funds.

The businessmen wanted to rebuild the Incline Bridge. The dispute was resolved when the Commercial association offered to buy the Incline Bridge. The county contracted with the Iowa Bridge Company to design and build the bridge, which was completed in 1910 for $77,900. The bridge consisted of a long-span Pennsylvania truss over the main channel of the river and three Pratt trusses over the floodplain.

Part of the first and second floor spaces were converted into a small movie theater in 1935. The work involved cutting away part of the second floor, and during the conversion, the building's seventeen upper floors were supported on hydraulic jacks until new trusses for the theater were installed. Another part of the basement, first floor, and second floor became a restaurant in 1936. Museum Estates Inc.

Roads across the bridges were kept dry and free of snow in winter. The protection the cover provided against wood deterioration was likely most important. The cover allowed timbered trusses and braces to season properly and kept water out of the joints, prolonging the life by seven to eight times that of an uncovered bridge. The correct length of the Valley Pike Bridge was 24'.

Charles Hough, "It's all about the trusses," April 2008 lecture, from The George School. The Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects recognized Hough with a 1975 award for excellence. He was a lifelong Quaker, and a 1944 graduate of The George School. In his 2016 obituary, his family recalled that relocating the meeting house had been the "proudest moment" of his career.

The interior was partly converted to Coptic Orthodox liturgical use. Unusual aisled roof structure, wooden trusses rising from posts set on the very tall slender marbled columns with Corinthian derived capitals, which also support the high round arches of a wooden arcade; painted boarded ceiling. Wide moulded reredos arch and gallery. Rear raked gallery with curved and panelled front; pews on both floors retained.

On the orders of the German occupying authorities, a temporary ferry service was established between Sandesund and Borge using one of the port's vessels.Bakken: 41 It transported about 18,000 vehicles in four months.Bakken: 42 The lower part of the trusses on the railway bridge were used to make a temporary pathway for pedestrians and bicycles. A temporary new road bridge was completed on 8 October.

Modern Timber Homes was an Irish business established in 2004 by Shaun McColgan. It built timber frame homes, roof trusses and door systems from a premises, where it employed twenty people. The business was located at Crossan Business Park Bonagee in Letterkenny County Donegal. Funded partly by the enterprise board, the business was highly successful, employing several natives and providing much needed local income.
