The difference between grid and truss structure

Both grid and truss structures are common building structures. From an layman's point of view, the similarities between the two are made of metal materials. How to distinguish between trusses and grids? The following Huahai editor is simple for everyone introduce.

Common forms of truss structure and grid

The common grids are triangular pyramids, triangular prisms, cubes, truncated quadrangular pyramids and other shapes. Generally, there are bolted ball joints, welded ball joints, etc., which is a kind of spatial structure.

The trusses generally include single-row trusses, triangular trusses, and quadrilateral trusses. The trusses we often say are quadrilateral trusses, which are the most used trusses. Steel trusses and aluminum alloy trusses are commonly used.


The force of truss structure and grid

The truss structure is a kind of plane structure that we often say. It needs the support of external forces such as the base to form a stable structure. It is a unidirectional force system.

The network frame can be supported by the periphery, multi-point support, and the rigidity in the plane is large, which is a two-way force system.
