TYPES OF TRUSS | ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRUCTION
This document discusses different types of roof trusses and the materials used to construct them. It describes king post trusses, howe trusses, pratt trusses, and fink trusses. Common materials used include various grades of structural steel for the chords, king posts, and gussets. Higher strength steels of 450 MPa yield strength are being used more frequently. Disadvantages of steel include maintenance costs, fireproofing requirements, and susceptibility to fatigue and brittle fracture. Case studies of different truss types provide details on materials like angle sections and plate thicknesses used.

TRUSS Members of atypical bridge truss Members of a typical roof truss MATERIALS– in general we use structural steel or mild steel of various grades and different sections The steel grades with yield strengths of 250 N/sq mm and 350 N/sq mm are generally used for structural members. The higher strength steel with yield strength around 450 N/sq mm is now being used more and more in the construction. DISADVANTAGES *Maintenance cost *Fire proofing cost *Fatigue *Brittle fracture
