https://doi.org/10.55640/Keywords:
Construction engineering has become one of the most significant sectors in the development of modern society. Buildings, bridges, towers, airports, and industrial facilities require strong and durable structural systems to ensure safety and long-term stability. Among these systems, trusses occupy a special place because they provide high strength while using relatively small amounts of material.Abstract
Trusses are among the most important structural systems used in modern construction engineering. They are widely applied in bridges, industrial buildings, roofs, towers, stadiums, and other engineering structures because of their high strength, stability, and efficient load distribution. A truss is a framework composed of connected elements that form triangular units. The triangular shape allows the structure to transfer loads effectively while minimizing the amount of material used.
Modern engineering relies heavily on truss systems due to their economical and practical design. Engineers use different truss forms depending on structural requirements, span length, and environmental conditions. This article discusses the definition of trusses, their historical development, structural components, types, working principles, advantages, disadvantages, and applications in construction engineering. The article also explains how forces act within truss systems and why they are considered efficient structural solutions.
