1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1.04 Unique Chord Sections The symmetrical shape of TrusSteel's patented U-shaped chord sections provides nearly equal chord member moment capacity in both in-plane directions. The TrusSteel chord members have superior bending strength in out-of-plane directions. These characteristics combine to create an efficient truss that is exceptionally strong and stiff. The recent addition of special chord sections for short span / low load conditions and for long span / high low conditions improves the value engineering of the entire system. Webs TrusSteel utilizes both commercial grade closed- tube webs and proprietary roll-formed z-webs to deliver the most cost effective roof system. Both products have unique "double symmetric" properties which contributes to the strength, stiffness and stability of the truss as well as reducing lateral bracing. TrusSteel members are designed and built in compliance with ASTM A370, ASTM A653, ASTM A500, ANSI Standards, and voluntary standards as described in our own reports from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and ICC Legacy reports (NER and Florida Product Approval). Visit our web site to download the complete reports. Patented Fasteners TrusSteel is the only CFS truss system in the industry using Double-Shear TM fastener technology. This patented technology provides a rigid, bolt-like connection at all chord/web intersections and is specially designed to resist movement and back-out. Color-coded, marked fasteners create the most dependable, easily inspected connection available for CFS materials. Structural Connections TrusSteel delivers a full line of truss-to-truss and truss-to-bearing connectors that provide consistent quality and structural values. The industry's most extensive library of Standard Details describing our connections, connectors and section properties is available in various CAD formats from www.TrusSteel.com.
