Arched Hollow Section Trusses in Long Span Structures

Abstract

The following article’s main goal is to provide insight into the utilization of arched hollow section trusses for the creation of long-span structures. It will emphasize on the importance of defining the optimal height of the truss. This is why the authors try to give aid in the selection of the truss height by presenting several methods for it. This paper will conclude by defining the most effective methods for choosing the truss height, as well as the range of variation for this dimension of the structure.
