Truss bridges are recognizable because of their numerous‚ relatively small interconnected triangles. This framework of triangles is used for is strength to withstand tension and compression forces. They are considered a light-weight yet a very stiff form of construction. At first they were built of wood‚ then with the discovery of welding they began to build then using iron‚ then steel. Occasionally‚ a combination of the materials may be used. There are actually 30 different kinds of truss bridges

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction A bridge consists of super structure of steel or reinforced concrete member that is supported on one or more points by cables extending from one or more tower is known as cable stayed bridge. The cable-stayed bridge is one of the most modern bridges. It consists of a continuous strong beam (girder) with one or more pillars or towers (pylons) in the middle Cables stretch diagonally between these pylons and the beam‚ these cables forms intermediate supports

Truss Bridge is a one bridge style from a variety other bridges types. The truss bridge is made with a simple skeletal structure. This type of bridges is conceded as a one of the strongest simple design and cost less. Truss bridges were founded early in the history‚ and they were built from wood and iron at the first time‚ which was different than any other bridge that was made of stone. However‚ nowadays‚ truss bridges are made of steel. Truss bridges have many types include‚ the Pratt‚ the Warren

overburden buyers with trivial purchases that may prevent them from focusing on crucial purchases. Purchasing can more effectively deal with this problem by: • Having a system in place to handle Small Value Purchases • Using an E-Procurement System (Makes buyers less likely to be overburdened by Small Value Purchases) 2. Centralized Purchasing – Purchasing decisions are made by a single Purchasing department (usually at the corporate office). Decisions include: Order Quantity‚ Pricing
