Structural truss, assembly and method of manufacture
There is a truss structure, assembly and method of manufacturing a truss with a span L and a beam depth H. The truss having a main part includes a substantially planar top chord with a longitudinal centerline and webs connecting between the top chord and a bottom chord. The top chord is separated from the bottom chord by the webs. There is a top chord node where each web intersects with the centerline of the top chord and a bottom chord node where each web meets the bottom chord. At least two of the top chord nodes coincide with one another along the top chord. In use, the elements of the main part are in compression and the bottom chord includes a tension member.
