Talk:Truss

message: Unless I am very much mistaken, this article is actually about statically determinate trusses. Article needs to make the distinction between this and indeterminate trusses and add analysis techniques for the latter. Cutler 13:55, Aug 7, 2004 (UTC)

The Vierendeel truss description sounds like a ladder333.  Is this correct?  And if so, how does a Vierendeel truss transmit shear loads? --Commander Keane 14:51, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: The material on verticals and their role in stabilising the compression chord is very unclear as currently written. I'd like to get some time to rewrite this to cover (briefly) the role of the truss web members in carrying global shear, in supporting the lower chord against local bending, and in stabilising the top chord via u-frame action, where top bracing isn't present.

message: The claim is made that the Bell Ford Bridge was the last Post Truss bridge in the world. Do we know if a Post Truss differs from a King Post Truss or a Queen Post Truss? Anyone care to help out the BFB article by addition of a definition or ointer to a definition of a post truss? thanks. --21:04, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a much more exhaustive list of truss types in the Truss bridge article. Should there be some sort of merger? Lars (talk) 01:20, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Created article List of truss types for this purpose Lars (talk) 02:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I don't think they should merge. There is enough info for two articles. The List of truss types article you have started does not have enough room for prose (in a table) to discuss the particulars of individual truss types. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 22:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Yeah, you're right. I'm going to get rid of the "description" column in the List of truss types article. I'd like to sort out all the names alphabetically, but I might just leave it is a sortable table instead. Lars (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology of Truss 

message: "Lenticular trusses, patented in 1878 by William Douglas": 
In Great Britain, the "Lenticular truss" was used by Isambard Kingdom Brunel for the Saltash Bridge, buildt during the years 1854-1859. In Germany, this type of truss is known as "Pauli-Traeger", named after Friedrich August von Pauli, who constructed the railway bridge of Grosshesselohe, buildt during the years 1851-1857. The merits of a William Douglas seem to be restricted to introducing this construction to the United States.

message: Doesn't this article suffer heavily from camel-case? I mean, "truss" is not a proper noun, nor are "members", "joints", or "post frame structures".

message: Anyone know of a good location to add some details on floor trussing in architectural and building design? I did some basic research on failure and sagging in floors and deflection in trussing. Is this something to go in this article or maybe another new article?
