Camelback truss
View Exhibit mapThe Camelback truss is a sub-type of
Parker truss, which is a sub-type of a
Pratt truss. While some refer to any truss with a curved or polygon top chord as a camelback, the more strict definition is a Pratt truss with a polygonal top chord consisting of exactly five segments. While it is possible for a camelback truss to be used in building a pony or deck truss, it is by far most common as a
through truss.
