A Truss bridge is a type of bridge whose main element is a truss, which is a structure of connected elements that form triangular units. Truss bridges are among the oldest types of bridges that are found all over the world and are still regarded as state-of-the-art technology.
A truss is formed by many different beams that come together to form triangles to support the bridge’s way. Trusses are used to support and stabilize the bridge.
