span constructions
Such as factories, industry worksheds,
shopping malls, huge exhibition centres,
multiplexes etc.
They are generally used for spans as large
as 25-30m.
There is a similar kind of a truss called

Tubular Steel Monitor Roof Truss.
There are projections on the roofs called
Monitors to admit daylight into the space.

Advantages of Tubular Steel Roof

Trusses
Structures designed for material handling
equipments (e.g., a bridge and a tower crane)
where weight savings may be very substantial
economic consideration.
30% to 40% less surface area than that rolled
steel sections. Therefore, the cost of
maintenance, cost of painting or protective
coatings reduce considerably.
The moisture and dirt do not collect on the
smooth external surface of the tubes.
Therefore, the possibility of corrosion also
reduces.
The ends of tubes are sealed. As a result of
this, the interior surface is not subjected to
