Vierendeel bridge

A Vierendeel bridge is a bridge employing a Vierendeel truss, named after Arthur Vierendeel. Such trusses are made up of rectangular rather than triangular frames, as are common in bridges using pin–joints. Because of the lack of diagonal members, Vierendeel trusses employ moment joints to resist substantial bending forces. * Gustav-Heinemann-Brücke * Geneva St. bridge in Glendale
