About
This app assists in the pre-design of large span steel trusses according to European standards. It offers automatic pre-design, verification of structural members, and optimization of cross-section dimensions based on user-defined parameters and loading conditions.

MoreFAQ
What European rules does Trusses+ conform to?
Trusses+ conforms to the European rules for steel structures, specifically EN1993-1-1:2005. It performs calculations according to Eurocodes, including automatic load combinations for Ultimate Limit States (ULS) and Serviceability Limit States (SLS).
What types of loads can Trusses+ handle?
The software supports multiple loading cases, including distributed loads (Permanent, Imposed, Wind, Snow) and concentrated loads (Permanent, Imposed). It also handles automatic load combinations for ULS and SLS.
What are the geometrical limits for trusses designed with Trusses+?
Trusses+ supports trusses with lengths ranging from 5m to 100m and heights from 0.2m to 10m. The height-to-length ratio must be between 1/30 and 1/10.
What truss configurations are supported by Trusses+?
The app supports various 2-dimensional truss configurations, including N-, V-, and A-trusses, as well as Warren, Pratt, Warren plus, Pratt lattice, and Warren lattice configurations.
What kind of results does Trusses+ provide?
Results are provided through visualization on the software interface and three levels of detail in Preliminary Design Notes. These include truss data, calculation parameters, analysis results (reactions, displacements, internal forces), and verification results (ULS and SLS).
What steel grades and sections are supported by Trusses+?
Trusses+ supports steel grades EN 10025-2 & 4, EN 1993-1-1, and HISTAR S355&S460. It is compatible with ArcelorMittal's program sales for I, H, double L, and U-sections.
How often is Trusses+ updated?
The latest version of Trusses+ is 2.1, which was last updated on March 21, 2022. This indicates a release cycle of approximately every 1-2 years.
What devices is Trusses+ available on?
Trusses+ is currently supported on iPads. It is not available for other devices like iPhones or Android tablets.
