Q » How is a truss different from a beam?
08 Dec, 2025
A » A truss is a structural framework typically composed of triangular units, providing high strength with minimal material use, often employed in bridges and roofs. In contrast, a beam is a horizontal structural element that resists bending forces, commonly used in floors, ceilings, and bridges. While trusses distribute loads across their triangular units, beams rely on their material strength and shape to support loads directly.
