Diagram of the difference between truss and grid

Both the truss structure and the grid are common architectural structures. From the perspective of the layman, the same points of the two are connected by metal materials. How do you distinguish between trusses and grids? When do you use the grid and when do you use the truss?

Truss structure and common form of grid

◆ Commonly used in the grid are triangular cones, triangular prisms, cubes, truncated pyramids, etc., generally with bolt ball nodes, welded ball nodes, etc., is a space structure.

◆ Truss generally has single-row trusses, triangular trusses, and quadrilateral trusses. The truss we often say is a quadrilateral truss, and it is also the most used truss. Commonly used are steel trusses and aluminum trusses.

Truss structure and force of the grid

◆ Truss structure is a kind of plane structure that we often say. It needs a support such as a base to form a stable structure. It is a one-way force system.
