Abstract
A metal truss assembly comprises a plurality of C-shape structural members including at least one chord member and two or more adjacent web members, each structural member having a base and two opposing flanges. The at least one C-shape chord member has flanges extending from each side of the base with one flange having cutouts to receive two C-shape web members with a part of said flange of said chord member in place between said cutouts. Each said C-shape web member is placed into one of the cutouts in said flange to intersect the at least one chord member with the bases of the two C-shape web members adjacent the base of the at least one chord member.

- and
- each said C-shape web member placed into one of the cutouts in said flange to intersect the at least one chord member with the bases of the two C-shape web members adjacent the base of the at least one chord member.
A metal truss assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of C-shape structural members including a first chord member, a second chord member and at least two web members, each structural member having a base and two opposing flanges having opposite end portions;
- and
- each C-shape chord member having at least two spaced apart chord cutouts and a chord flange with each cutout to receive one of the C-shape web members on assembly of the web members with the chord members forming an intersection of chord members and web members with the bases on the chord members and web members directly attached.
