Examples of truss in the following topics:
-
- The hernia truss is intended to contain a reducible inguinal hernia within the abdomen.
- In addition, most trusses with older designs are not able to effectively contain the hernia at all times because their pads do not remain permanently in contact with the hernia.
- The more modern variety of truss is made with non-intrusive flat pads and comes with a guarantee to hold the hernia securely during all activities.
-
- Post-and-lintel is one of the four ancient structural methods of building; the others are corbel, arch-and-vault, and truss.
-
- The majority of buildings have wooden roofs, generally consisting of a simple truss, tie beam, or king post form.
- In the case of trussed rafter roofs, they are sometimes lined with wooden ceilings in three sections like those that survive at Ely and Peterborough cathedrals in England.
