A steel through-truss bridge, the Astoria-Megler Bridge spans the Columbia River between Astoria, Ore., and Megler, Wash. Situated 23 kilometers from the mouth of the river, it is 6.6 km long.

The City of Everett settled the claim for $860,000, well under the $5.8 million initially sought by the contractor. EVERETT — The complexity of the steel truss design and tight time constraints ...

It wasn't until the 1800s that truss design became a function of engineering calculations rather than "rules of thumb" passed from generation to generation of skilled craftsmen to their ...

Ebert Composites Corp. (Chula Vista, Calif., U.S.A.) is marketing a composite truss concept for large structures that has potential for offshore application. Since 1992, the company has focused on the ...
