In this example, we show an all-bolted pitched truss (or Fink Truss) For all-bolted trusses formed using angles, the work points may be established from the centroids or centers of the members. Technically, he correct way is to use the centroids but as the holes are commonly set out on the center-line of the lacing

In this example, we show an all-welded pitched truss (or Fink Truss) For All-Welded trusses formed from angles, the work points should be established from the centroids of the members. In order to achieve maximum weld contact between the members, the diagonal lacing members are located on the far-side of the chords. The apex joint

In this example, we show an all-welded heavy girder truss. It may be formed from hot-rolled I or H sections For all-welded trusses formed using hot-rolled I and H sections, the work points are established from the geometric centers. Splices should ideally be located so that they are staggered equally about a vertical truss member.

In this example, we show an all-bolted medium girder truss. It may be formed from either single or double (battened) channels. For all-bolted trusses formed using channel chords and angle diagonal members, the work points may be established from the centroids or centers of the members. Sometimes, a splice may be necessary, in such cases

In this example, we show an all-welded medium girder truss. It may be formed from either single or double (battened) channels. For all-welded trusses formed using angles, the work points may be established from the centroids or centers of the members. Detail -5- illustrates a typical channel splice for both a single and double (battened)

In this example, we show an all-bolted light/medium girder truss. It may be formed from either single or double (battened) angles. The members are connected using gusset-plates. For all-bolted trusses formed using angles, the work points may be established from the centroids or centers of the members. Technically, he correct way is to use the

In this example, we show an all-welded lightweight girder truss. Its formed from single angles with alternating lacing members. For All-Welded trusses formed from angles, the work points should be established from the centroids of the members. In order to achieve maximum weld contact between the members, the diagonal lacing members are located on the
