U-shaped Chord Sections

The symmetrical shape of TrusSteel's patented U-shaped chord sections provides nearly equal chord member moment capacity in both in-plane directions. The TrusSteel chord members have superior bending strength in out-of-plane directions. These characteristics combine to create an efficient truss that is exceptionally strong and stiff. The recent addition of special chord sections for short span / low load conditions and for long span / high low conditions improves the value engineering of the entire system.
