truss bridges (<bridges by form>, bridges (built works), ... Built Environment (hierarchy name)) |

Note: Bridges that employ trusses, which are structural members comprising straight pieces of metal or timber forming a series of triangles lying in a single plane, thus making the structure unlikely to be distorted by stress. Wooden truss bridges, in the form of covered bridges, were common in the United States from the 1870s to the 1930s; carefully fitted timbers were combined with iron rods for tension. Later, railroad bridges and other bridges were constructed of cast iron and wrought iron, which were eventually succeeded by steel in truss bridges.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Bruggen met vakwerkliggers. |
| German ..... Brücke, bei der Fachwerk verwendet wird, einem Bauglied, das aus geraden Metall- oder Balkenverstrebungen besteht, die eine Reihe von Dreiecken auf einer Ebene bilden; dieses macht es unwahrscheinlich, dass sich das Bauwerk bei Beanspruchung verformt. Hölzerne Fachwerkbrücken, in der Form gedeckter Brücken, waren in den USA zwischen den 1870er und 1930er Jahren weit verbreitet; sorgfältig zugeschnittene Balken wurden mit Eisenklammern zur Erhöhung der Spannung verbunden. Später wurden Eisenbahn- wie auch andere Brücken aus Guss- oder Schmiedeeisen errichtet, die schließlich durch Stahl in Fachwerkbrücken ersetzt wurden. |
