Lecture

Truss Typology: Constant Height

Description

This lecture discusses the typology of trusses with a K-shaped configuration, analyzing their isostatic nature and the distribution of forces. The instructor demonstrates the stability of the structure under load and explains the architectural advantages of this configuration for multi-story buildings. Different variations of truss configurations are explored, highlighting the use of diagonals in tension and compression. The lecture concludes by hinting at the evaluation of the relative efficiency of these truss designs in the next video.
