In the final design, the SWS and ATM were launched together, but for the single-launch concept to work, the ATM had to pivot 90 degrees on a truss structure from its launch position to its on-orbit orientation, clearing the way for the crew to dock its Apollo Command / Service Module at the axial docking port of the Multiple Docking Adapter.

When Canadarm2 is attached to the MBS, it has the ability to travel to work sites all along the truss structure.

He based the design on the Pratt truss which was familiar to him from his bridge-building work.

The park also features a riverside concourse, steel truss work, an extensive out-of-town scoreboard, and many local eateries.

An effort was made in the design of PNC Park to salute other " classic style " ballparks, such as Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Pittsburgh's Forbes Field ; the design of the ballpark's archways, steel truss work, and light standards are results of this goal.

Designed by the firm of Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates with structural engineering work by the firm of Prybylowski and Gravino, the roof was technically described as an ortho-quad truss system.

On June 15, 1979 actual work began with the removal of the west truss and transport for storage.

The construction work included an Ontario " tall-wall " concrete median barrier, new bridge parapets, and the installation of shaded high-pressure sodium lights using the existing truss poles.

After much design work, two truss bridges at 6th and 9th and a cantilever bridge at 7th were approved, and submitted to the Metropolitan Art Commission, a forgotten body that had approval rights for any bridge over 25, 000 USD in the City of Pittsburgh.

The Main Propulsion Test Article, without truss work, is on display at the U. S. Space & Rocket Center, Visitor Information Center for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, alongside the MPTA-ET which is mounted under the refurbished Pathfinder orbiter simulator.

Formerly a toll bridge, it is of through truss design and provides a vital link between Harrison County, Indiana and Meade County, Kentucky.

Fairhaven is also crossed by U. S. Route 6, which enters the town on a bridge between the mainland and Pope's Island, which is connected to the rest of New Bedford by the New Bedford – Fairhaven Bridge, a swing-span truss bridge over one hundred years old.

Since the late 1990s, the Conestoga has undergone extensive reconstruction between Courtland Avenue and Lancaster Street, with the addition of an Ontario " tall-wall " concrete median barrier and high-mast lighting replacing the conventional mercury truss lights.

The depth of a truss, or the height between the upper and lower chords, is what makes it an efficient structural form.

For example, if an entire truss is being analyzed to find the reaction forces at the supports, the forces between the individual truss members are not included.

The Royal Alexandra Interprovincial Bridge is a steel truss cantilever bridge spanning the Ottawa River between Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec.

* The road truss bridge over Sava at Obrenovac — 30 km southwest of Belgrade, constructed by Mostogradnja between 1993 and 1999.

The towers also incorporated a " hat truss " or " outrigger truss " located between the 107th and 110th floors, which consisted of six trusses along the long axis of core and four along the short axis.

This truss system allowed optimized load redistribution of floor diaphragms between the perimeter and core, with improved performance between the different materials of flexible steel and rigid concrete allowing the moment frames to transfer sway into compression on the core, which also mostly supported the transmission tower.

He showed the similarity in the forms of jellyfish and the forms of drops of liquid falling into viscous fluid, and between the internal supporting structures in the hollow bones of birds and well-known engineering truss designs.

The Riverside – Delanco Bridge is a truss bridge with a central swing span that carries County Route 543 across the Rancocas Creek, between Riverside and Delanco in New Jersey.

The George Washington Memorial Bridge ( commonly called the Aurora Bridge ) is a cantilever and truss bridge that carries Aurora Avenue N. ( State Route 99 ) over the west end of Seattle's Lake Union between Queen Anne and Fremont, just east of the Fremont Cut.

The Ship Canal Bridge is a double-deck steel truss bridge that carries Interstate 5 over Seattle's Portage Bay ( part of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, after which it is named ) between Capitol Hill and the University District.

The Jeremiah Morrow Bridge is a pair of parallel continuous truss bridges which span the Little Miami River gorge between Fort Ancient and Oregonia, Ohio.

The Astoria – Megler Bridge is a steel girder continuous truss bridge that spans the Columbia River between Astoria, Oregon and Point Ellice near Megler, Washington, in the United States.

The Governor Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge is a, two-lane continuous truss bridge that spans the Potomac River between Newburg in Charles County, Maryland and Dahlgren in King George County, Virginia, USA.

It consisted of two trusses of the Howe truss type, and the length of the span between abutments was one hundred and fifty feet.

Much of the old track bed between Ruatapu and Hokitika can be driven as it serves as an access road for local farmers, and a disused truss bridge still stands north of Ross.

The Bridge of the Gods is a steel truss cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River between Cascade Locks, Oregon and Washington state near North Bonneville.

The line continued two miles southeast, crossing the Little Miami River on a 365 foot truss bridge, into Hamilton Township where it terminated on the Little Miami Railroad at Middletown Junction, between Kings Mills and South Lebanon.

The conventional truss lighting between Central Parkway and Highway 401 / 410 was replaced by shoulder-mounted high-mast lighting in 2004.

The bridge is a similar design to the Hercilio Luz Bridge in Florianopolis, Brazil, with the truss carrying the bridge being above the roadway and meeting the cables at non-uniform heights.

That bridge was an iron Parker truss structure with a 17-foot roadway and sidewalks.

It has the fairly unusual feature that the truss carrying the roadway ( a continuous stiffening component ) is above the roadway itself and meets up with the cables making it non uniform in height.

The base of each truss structure is a " utility pillar ", which provides indirect uplighting illumination and is the location for air-conditioning, water, telecommunications and electrical outlets.

A truss provides support for the herniated area, using a pad and belt arrangement to hold it in the correct position.

Large dishes often require a supporting truss structure behind them to provide the required stiffness.

* When open, the bridge will have to maintain its own weight as a balanced double cantilever, while when closed and in use for traffic the live loads will be distributed as in a pair of conventional truss bridges, which may require additional stiffness in some members whose loading will be alternately in compression or tension.

Also, as the East Bank approach meets the superstructure of the bridge, the two vehicular roadways " jog " or shift inwards towards the bridge centerline about since the through-truss portion of the superstructure is wider than the deck truss portion of the east approach.

Some later biplanes replaced the Pratt truss with a Warren truss which reduced the drag associated with the struts, however it wasn't enough to keep it competitive with cantilever monoplanes which superseded it for most purposes in the late 1930s.
