What is the maximum span for steel truss?
One of the biggest advantages of cold-formed steel is its high strength to weight ratio. This allows manufacturers and framers to fabricate long trusses with clear spans up to 25 meters. Steel trusses can be easily designed with clear spans up to 14 meters. Beyond that, a thicker material or boxed profile would be required along with specially designed connections. (Note: In many areas, there are transportation limitations when truss span exceeds 15 meters). For long trusses, intermediate bearing supports can also be used to reduce the size and thickness of the truss members.
