Abstract
As the number of houses is increasing worldwide there is a growing challenge of trusses failure. Trusses made of wood provide tiles with leverage to exert more weight on the truss itself and cause the roof to deform and collapse in due time gradually. This review paper discusses the effectiveness of the different types of roof trusses in use. This paper reviews the mechanical properties of timber trusses, steel trusses, concrete trusses, composite trusses, and plastic trusses, and possible solutions to eliminate the failure of trusses are discussed. Steel trusses are more enduring than timber trusses; even so, steel trusses are more expensive than any other type. In addition, steel trusses are more susceptible to corrosion and rusting than any other type. Furthermore, steel is a good conductor, posing hazards of electrical shock to any human in contact. Developments have been made for concrete trusses; however, concrete remains a challenge since it has low tensile strength, allowing chipping and cracking. Plastic trusses have been in use; however, plastic trusses have limited strength and lifespan compared to wood, steel, and concrete, resulting in limited use in larger structures. However, the utilization of fiberglass and epoxy has been introduced to replace the trusses in use since they have a high strength-to ratio, which means they can support heavy loads without adding any weight to the structure. Ultimately there is still a need for further research to come up with optimized composite trusses that can have enhanced mechanical properties, resistance to termites, and moisture.
