Premier resource for practicing structural engineers

Date/Time: September 18 12:00 pm Central

Floor trusses are the ideal structural system for single family, multi-family, and other commercial builds due to their inherent design flexibilities, optimized construction advantages, and exceptional strength. Each floor truss is designed and engineered for the unique and specific project. Open-web floor trusses create downstream value through faster and safer on-site installation, efficient MEP installations, and additional opportunities for reduced material costs. This course will demonstrate project benefits when utilizing open web floor trusses and discuss how they can improve your next project.
