Truss Behavior Explained | Structural Engineering Basics

A truss works like many small springs acting together. Some members carry tension, while others carry compression, allowing loads to flow efficiently through the structure. This balanced force distribution is why trusses are widely used in bridges, roofs, and large-span structures to ensure strength and safety.
