5. Fink Truss
A Fink truss is a symmetrical truss that is comprised of a
single bar that has arms which angle upwards, with V-shaped
webs supporting the interior of the structure. These trusses can
cover over 80 feet when the web pattern is duplicated
6. King Post Truss
This particular truss is made out of wood most of the time,
but it can also be built out of a combination of steel and wood. It
all comes down to the architect and the building structure. The
King Post Truss spans up to 8m, which makes it perfect for
multiple types of houses, especially the smaller ones.
7. Queen Post Truss
The Queen Post Truss is designed to be a very reliable,
simple and versatile type of roof truss that you can use at any
given time. It offers a good span, around 10m, and it has a
simple design which makes it perfect for a wide range of
establishments.
8. North Light Roof Truss
The North Light Roof Truss is suitable for the larger spans
that go over 20m and get up to 30m. This happens because its
cheaper to add a truss that has a wide, larger set of lattice
girders that include support trusses. This method is one of the
oldest, as well as most economical ones that you can find on the
market, as it allows you to bring in proper ventilation. Plus, the
roof has more resistance too because of that.

These are used for large spans, and this is why you can
encounter then in larger spaces, which include auditoriums or
even railway sheds.

Gambrel
A Gambrel is a barn-style roof shape, and is often referred
to as a hip roof. These trusses can also be designed as an attic
truss that is complete with a floor system built in.

o BRIDGE TRUSSES
1. Pratt Truss
A Pratt truss includes vertical members and diagonals that
slope down towards the center, the opposite of the Howe truss.
The interior diagonals are under tension under balanced loading
and vertical elements under compression. If pure tension
elements are used in the diagonals (such as eyebars) then
crossing elements may be needed near the center to accept
concentrated live loads as they traverse the span. It can be
subdivided, creating Y- and K-shaped patterns. This truss is
practical for use with spans up to 250 feet (76 m) and was a
common configuration for railroad bridges as truss bridges
moved
from
wood
to
metal.
They
are statically
determinate bridges, which lend themselves well to long spans.
2. Howe Truss
The relatively rare Howe truss, patented in 1840
by Massachusetts millwright William Howe, includes vertical
members and diagonals that slope up towards the center, the
opposite of the Pratt truss. In contrast to the Pratt truss, the
diagonal web members are in compression and the vertical web
members are in tension.
5. Baltimore Truss
The Baltimore truss is a subclass of the Pratt truss. A
Baltimore truss has additional bracing in the lower section of the
truss to prevent buckling in the compression members and to
control deflection. It is mainly used for rail bridges, showing off a
simple and very strong design.
6. K-Truss
A truss in the form of a K due to the orientation of the
vertical member and two oblique members in each panel.
7. Warren truss (with verticals)
Warren truss is a support structure used in different
constructions, for supporting a load. These are used extensively
in bridges as well as, residential and public works designs. The
contiguous triangles that are a characteristic part of the Warren
truss, also gives them the name, Triangular Truss. These are not
common now since modern bridges are made of be steel box
girder, post stressed concrete or cable stayed structures. Trusses
were usually made of timber, iron, or steel.
Pennsylvania Truss
The Pennsylvania (Petit) truss is a variation on the Pratt
truss. The Pratt truss includes braced diagonal members in all
panels; the Pennsylvania truss adds to this design half-length
strut or ties in the top, bottom, or both parts of the panels.
