trussing

The rigid members forming a truss subject to axial forces proportional to the rise of the truss. Buckling generally governs the size of compression members, while tensile stresses at the weakest points, usually at the connections, control the size of tension members. 2. A structure formed by trusses. While rigid in its own plane, a truss must be braced in a perpendicular direction to prevent lateral buckling. (Ching, 1995)
