Definition A truss is a support structure composed of several elements. The top and bottom chords and tension bars are made of glued laminated timber. The ties can be made of either glued laminated timber or steel. Advantages Light-permeable Additional installations (ventilation systems, fire detection systems, electrical installation lines) can be installed at the level of the support structure; this ensures optimum utilization of the available height A perfect balance between the dead weight and the load-bearing capacity makes it ideal for very high bearing distances
