Abstract
A truss system includes: an upper and lower angle assembly, each having vertical legs; a plurality of interconnecting members; a plurality of web members, each web member having: an upper free end configured to attach to the upper angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs; a lower free end configured to attach to the lower angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs; and an angled interconnecting web piece disposed between the upper free end and the lower free end; and wherein both the upper and lower free ends include: a first set of bolt holes for attachment to a respective one of the upper angle assembly and lower angle assembly; and a second set of bolt holes for attachment to an end of an associated interconnecting member.

A truss system, comprising:
- an upper and a lower angle assembly, each having vertical legs;
- a plurality of interconnecting members;
- and
- a plurality of web members, each web member having:
- an upper free end configured to attach to the upper angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs;
- a lower free end configured to attach to the lower angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs;
- and
- an angled interconnecting web piece disposed between the upper free end and the lower free end;
- and
- wherein both the upper and lower free ends include:
- a first set of bolt holes arranged along an outer facing edge for attachment to a respective one of the upper angle assembly and lower angle assembly;
- and
- a second set of bolt holes arranged along an angled edge that is angled at an angle α with respect to the outward facing edge for attachment to an end of an associated interconnecting member.
A truss system, comprising:
- an upper angle assembly;
- a lower angle assembly;
- a plurality of web members, each web member formed as a single unitary component having:
- an upper free end configured to attach to the upper angle assembly;
- a lower free end configured to attach to the lower angle assembly at an offset position relative to the upper free end between the upper angle assembly and lower angle assembly;
- and
- an angled interconnecting web piece formed with and between the upper free end and the lower free end;
- wherein both the upper and lower free ends each include a first set of bolt holes and a second set of bolt holes, the first set of bolt holes configured for attachment to one of the upper or lower angle assemblies;
- and
- a plurality of interconnecting members, wherein each interconnecting member is configured to attach to an upper free end and a lower free end in a pair of adjacent web members via the second set of bolt holes;
- wherein each of the upper and lower free ends include an outward facing horizontal edge and an angled edge angled with respect to the outward facing horizontal edge;
- and
- wherein the first set of bolt holes are aligned along the outward facing horizontal edge, and the second set of bolt holes are aligned along the angled edge.
A truss system, comprising:
- an upper angle assembly;
- a lower angle assembly;
- a plurality of interconnecting members that extend between the upper and lower angle assemblies;
- and
- at least one bridge web having:
- a left free end;
- a right free end;
- and
- a central web piece connected to the left free end and right free end via a pair of angled interconnecting web pieces;
- wherein the left and right free ends each include a first set of bolt holes and a second set of bolt holes, the first set of bolt holes in both the left and right free ends configured for attachment to one of the upper or lower angle assemblies;
- and
- wherein the second set of bolt holes in the left and right free ends are each configured for attachment to an associated interconnecting member.
