In engineering, a truss is a structure comprising five or more triangular units constructed with straight members whose ends are connected at joints referred to as nodes. External forces and reactions to those forces are considered to act only at the nodes and result m forces m the members which are either tensile or compressive forces. Moments (torques) are explicitly excluded because, and only because, all the joints in a truss are treated as revolute. (Wikipedia) A study of the fabrication process of steel truss, with main focus on Matrade Exhibition Centre Project, which is the design and build is one (1) block of three (3) stories Matrade Exhibition Center with 1 ½ level of basement. This led to further project of problem arise and identify the solutions during fabrication works.
