Parker truss
View Exhibit mapThe Parker truss is named after Charles H. Parker who
patented the design on February 22, 1870. It is a variation of a
Pratt truss but differs from the Pratt in that the top and bottom chord are not parallel. It seems initially Parker used a curved top chord, but later it was simplified to use a polygonal, or series of straight sections not in a line forming an approximate curve. The Parker uses less material than an equivalent Pratt, but is a bit more complex to build. Sub-types of the Parker truss with their own name are the
camelback and the
Pennsylvania. The Parker truss in bridge construction is most commonly a through truss, but can also be a pony truss or a deck truss.
