The use of the truss form of construction allows buildings of all sizes and shapes to be constructed. The document explains that both 2D and 3D truss forms can be used. The 2D form of truss is essentially a beam and is used to supporting a building roof, spanning up to 120 metres for large industrial buildings. The 3D form of truss can be used to cover large areas without intermediate supports; this form is often used for large exhibition halls. The detailed guidance in this document relates mainly to 2D truss structures composed of rolled profiles but the principles are generally applicable to all forms oftruss structure.  \nPart 5: Detailed Design of Trusses  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \n1.1 Definition  \nA truss is essentially a triangulated system of (usually) straight interconnected structural elements; it is sometimes referred to as an open web girder. The individual elements are connected at nodes; the connections are often assumed to be nominally pinned. The external forces applied to the system and thereactions at the supports are generally applied at the nodes. When all the members and applied forces are in a same plane, the system is a plane or 2D truss.  \n2 Tension axial force  \nFigure 1.1 Members under axial forces in a simple truss  \nThe principal force in each element is axial tension or compression. When the connections at the nodes are stiff, secondary bending is introduced; this effect is discussed below.","cbCaiurNT3dkPa9P","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiurNT3dkPa9P","pdf",1778094,131,"English","# 1 INTRODUCTION\n## 1.1 Definition\n## 1.2 Use of trusses in single-storey buildings\n## 1.3 Different shapes of trusses\n## 1.4 Aspects of truss design for roof structure\n## 1.5 Design of wind girders\n# 2 INTRODUCTION TO DETAILED DESIGN\n## 2.1 General requirements\n## 2.2 Description of the worked example\n# 3 GLOBAL ANALYSIS\n## 3.1 General\n## 3.2 Modelling\n## 3.3 Modelling the worked example\n## 3.4 Simplified global analysis of the worked example\n## 3.5 Secondary forces\n## 3.6 Effect of clearance of deflection\n## 3.7 Modification of a truss for the passage of equipment\n# 4 VERIFICATION OF MEMBERS\n## 4.1 Verification of members under compression\n## 4.2 Verification of members in tension\n# 5 VERIFICATION OF CONNECTIONS\n## 5.1 Characteristics of the truss post connection\n## 5.2 Chord continuity\n## 5.3 Connection of diagonals to chords\n# APPENDIX A Worked Example – Design of a continuous chord connection using splice plate connections\n# APPENDIX B Worked example – Design of a truss node with gusset","[{\"question\":\"What is a truss in the context of this document?\",\"answer\":\"A truss is a triangulated system of interconnected structural elements, often treated as nominally pinned at nodes.
