Pratt Truss, Howe Truss and Warren Truss
What are the differences among Pratt Truss, Howe Truss and Warren Truss?
Expert
Warren truss includes a chain of isosceles triangles or equilateral triangles. Verticals are added for Warren Truss to enlarge the span length of the truss bridge.
Pratt truss is characterized by having its diagonal members slanted down towards the middle of the bridge span. In such structural arrangement when subjected to external loads tension is created in diagonal members at the same time the vertical members deal with compressive forces. Thinner and lighter steel or iron can be used as materials for diagonal members so that a more efficient structure can be enhanced. The structure of Howe truss is the opposite to that of Pratt truss in which the diagonal members are slanted in the direction opposite to that of Pratt truss. Hence, it is not economical to use steel members to handle compressive force.

Write a brief note over the Steam Power Plant. State it's various merits and demerits.
Average density of soil: For the aims of civil engineering, an average soil will have a density of around 100 to 110 pounds per cubic foot. (This can differ a little depending on how well compacted the soil is).
List the advantages of Hydroelectric Power Plant.
Withdrawal force of steel nails: In engineering, the code-allowable withdrawal force is 0 (zero), since the wood expands and contracts over time and the nail pull-out force can diminish to zero.
