Introduction 2  \n2. Trusses 2  \n3. Columns 6  \n4. Background material 8  \n1. Introduction  \nA truss can be defined as a beam with an open web, formed by a triangulated arrangement of linear elements. A typical arrangement of a truss is shown in Figure 1.1. This arrangement has parallel ‘chords’(equivalent to flanges) and the ‘web’ is provided by a mixture of‘diagonals’ and ‘posts’ or ‘verticals’(at right angles to the chords) . There are many alternative arrangements oftrusses: there are different arrangements of diagonals; sometimes there are only diagonal web members (no posts); sometimes the chords are not parallel to one another.  \nKey A – Upper chord, B – Vertical or post, C – Diagonal, D – Lower chord  \nFigure 1.1 Different parts of a truss  \n2. Trusses  \nThe truss’ primary advantage towards other solutions is that with a proper design a strong, stiff and weight-efficient member is achieved. Often, economical aspects determine whether a truss or a steel beam is chosen for the roof structure and here the span and the magnitude of load is of importance. The savings in steel weight for a truss compared to a steel beam gets bigger with larger spans and when the material savings makes up for the higher fabrication costs the truss is chosen. When choosing between a hinged truss and a hinged hot rolled beam the truss is normally the best choice for spans exceeding about 15 m.  \nA roof truss together with pinned columns and a roof sheeting used as both lateral bracing for the rafters and as a stressed skin diaphragm to transfer the wind forces to the wind bracings is often the most economical way to stabilise a open plan building. When it is important to keep the building height to a minimum or difficulties in making room for the vertical wind-bracing, portal frames can be taken into consideration since they have a lower section height due to a different bending moment distribution.  \nSometimes the great possibility for installing ventilation and service pipes through the web ina truss is an advantage worth consideration.  \n2.1 Applications  \nThe main use oftrusses is for roof trusses and wind bracings, which here is considered as atruss, see Figure 2.1. Occasionally it is also advantageous to use trusses for trimmer joistsand columns, i.e. very large columns with dominating bending.  \nScheme Development: Conceptual design of truss and column solutions SS050a-EN-EU  \nC  \nD  \nD  \nA  \nC-C  \nB  \nB C  \nB-B  \nD-D  \nKey:  \nA – Horizontal wind bracing for use with pinned columns B-B – Roof truss  \nC-C and D-D – Vertical wind bracings  \nFigure 2.1 Trusses  \n2.2 Design  \nThe truss should preferably be designed such that loads are applied at the joints to keep the magnitude of the chord moment to a minimum. This means that purlins are positioned over the joints in the upper chord and that girders for hoists are hung in the joints in the lower chord member. In large chord-members minor loads may be applied between the joints.  \n2.2.1 Roof trusses  \nThe normal span lengths for industrial buildings are 12 – 35 m. The roof trusses are produced in a workshop and transported to the construction site, if possible in its full length. Longer components can be divided into two or more parts and jointed together at the site. For wide buildings and if inner columns are accepted it is favourable to divide the building into two sections. To avoid an inside gutter, that always comes with a risk for leakage, it is possible to keep one crest and use two trusses, see Figure 2.2. Since the required free height normally is at the lowest part of the rafters the available height in the middle of the building is large, this can be used for a primary truss and every second of the inner columns can be avoided.  \nB  \nb  \nh  \nb  \nb  \nb  \nc","cbCaieKDihrOd6SA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieKDihrOd6SA","pdf",179403,"English","# Introduction\n# Trusses\n## Applications\n## Design\n### Roof trusses","[{\"question\":\"How is a truss defined in the document, and what are its main parts?\",\"answer\":\"A truss is defined as a beam with an open web formed by a triangulated arrangement of linear elements.
