A truss bridge is a bridge whose load-bearing superstructure is composed of a truss, a structure of connected elements usually forming triangular units. ... A truss bridge is economical to construct because it uses materials efficiently

# data[].attributes.body
In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". A "two-force member" is a structural component where force is applied to only two points.

Torsion is an important structural action that increases member shear strength. It occurs when it is twisted causing twisting force acting on the member, known as torque, and the resulting stress is known as shear stress. This stress is added to the existing shear stress due to vertical and lateral applied loads.

A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension. It is the opposite of a strut or column, which is designed to resist compression. Ties may be made of any tension resisting material.

A tension force is one that pulls materials apart. A compression force is one that squeezes material together.

A suspension bridge is one wherever several cables are set up across two or many towers that support the bulk of the bridge weight and force. The cables run from the tower to the anchorages. Suspension bridges are robust and might span long distances.

A strut is a structural component commonly found in engineering, aeronautics, architecture and anatomy. Struts generally work by resisting longitudinal compression, but they may also serve in tension.

A structure is defined as a system of interconnected members assembled in a stable configuration and used to support a load or combination of loads under the equilibrium of various external forces and internal reactions.

Static loading is a load that doesn't change over time. In engineering, static loads tend to be better defined and require less of a safety factor on them then dynamic loading

Shear is opposing structural forces, which causes slippage, on a plane and failure. A rigid member such as a masonry brick, if half of the brick is experiencing a force down, and the other half of the brick has an opposing force, up, the brick will split in half.

Geomatic engineering is the surveying of the entire or a part of the earth with various techniques (satellites positioning, satellite images processing, etc.) and the resulting spatial data is evaluated and expressed in maps and plans in the computer environment; It is also an engineering department that deals with all kinds of position-dependent measurement, calculation, analysis and visualization studies. Geomatic Engineering is one of the best engineering branches that are open to technological developments and best practice contemporary technology.

A joist is a horizontal structural member used in framing to span an open space, often between beams that subsequently transfer loads to vertical members. When incorporated into a floor framing system, joists serve to provide stiffness to the subfloor sheathing, allowing it to function as a horizontal diaphragm
