Such arrangement is present not only in truss bridge spans but in truss-stayed bridges (Reintjes, Gebert 2006) and in trussed decks of modern cable-stayed bridges (Zongyu 2012) as well.

Indeed, triangular trusses with differing structural configurations will exhibit respective torsional performances, and thus, the proposed modular composite triangular truss will show extraordinary structural behavior controlling the design of the FRP trussed members and connectors when subjected to an off-axis load.

The flexural deflection of a trussed pedestrian bridge subjected to dead load and live load of 3924 N/[m.sup.2] was L/416, which met the code criteria of L/300.

The Trussed Rafter Association, in collaboration with HSE, has developed a product datasheet entitled 'Health & Safety policy for the loading, haulage, delivery and erection of trussed rafters on site--a definition of responsibilities'.
