Warren truss

Warren truss – some of the diagonals are under compression and some under tension.

In structural engineering, a Warren truss or equilateral truss[1] is a type of truss employing a weight-saving design based upon equilateral triangles. It is named after the British engineer James Warren, who patented it in 1848.
