| Abstract: |
Many types of trusses have been developed thus far, including the Pratt, Warren, Howe, Fink, K, lenticular, lattice, and Baltimore trusses etc. Although these are all truss systems, each one is usually considered to be different and is dealt with individually. However, from the viewpoint of structure and form, interesting relationships can be found between these trusses. In this paper, the relationships between the structures and forms of general bridge types are first outlined. Then, the relationships between the various truss systems are discussed. Finally, the various truss systems are systematized with the methods for operations on structures and forms. |
