Description
Description

A triple Howe truss is a type of truss that uses three diagonal members for each panel. This makes it more rigid than a traditional Howe truss, which uses only two diagonal members per panel. Triple Howe trusses are often used in industrial applications, such as factories and warehouses. They can also be used in other structures, such as roofs and bridges.
