Trusses in Vierendeel Design

Discover the unique design of Vierendeel trusses in this informative video. We explore the various types of trusses, focusing on the Vierendeel girder, which uses rectangular patterns instead of the traditional triangular configurations. Learn about the origins of this design and how these structures handle compressive, tensile, and bending forces. With practical demonstrations and detailed explanations, this video is perfect for anyone interested in structural engineering and truss design.
