Definition
A Welded Truss is a truss with components fastened together with welds.
Purpose
The purpose of a welded truss is to provide a strong and rigid framework that supports loads over large spans. Welding ensures secure connections between the truss components, enhancing structural stability and load-bearing capacity.
Examples of Use
- Bridges: Supporting spans and distributing loads in bridge construction.
- Roof Structures: Providing support for roofs in large buildings like warehouses and sports arenas.
- Towers: Structural frameworks for communication towers and other tall structures.
Related Terms
- Truss: A framework composed of triangular units to support loads.
- Gusset Plate: A flat plate used to connect truss members at joints.
- Load-Bearing: The ability of a structure or component to support weight.
Notes
Welded trusses are designed based on the specific load requirements and span dimensions. They require precise welding techniques to ensure the integrity and safety of the structure.
