Steel structure manufacturer since 2009 · 8 fabrication bases in China
A truss turns bending into tension and compression in straight members. The pattern of those members decides efficiency, look and fabrication cost.
| Jenis | Pattern | Strengths | Bentang tipikal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pratt | Verticals in compression, diagonals in tension | Efficient under gravity load | 20–60 m |
| Warren | Diagonals only, alternating | Fewer members, simple | 20–60 m |
| Howe | Diagonals in compression | Suits timber; less common in steel | — |
| Pipe truss | Tubular chords and braces | Clean look, good in torsion | 30–80 m |
| Triangular 3-chord | Pipe, triangular section | Laterally stable | 40–100 m |
| Space frame | 3D grid of tubes and nodes | Very long spans, two-way | 40–120 m |
Span ranges are typical.
A span-to-depth ratio of 10 to 15 is typical for roof trusses. Deeper trusses use less steel but eat clear height and are harder to ship.
Transport first: decide splice positions with the shipping method, not after.
