In this project, our objective was to design a truss based on tests and research that performs better than our test trusses. The truss we design was evaluated for quality and efficiency.

I learned why trusses are used in terms of efficiency and strength, observed the performance of joint members, gussets, and supports in trusses, and saw how construction affects performance, good or bad. Finally, I go to work with a team using tools such as group norms and a decision matrix.
