Historical BackgroundThe Warren truss emerged in the mid-19th century, a period marked by rapid industrialization and the expansion of railway networks[3][5]. British engineers James Warren and Willoughby Monzani patented the design in 1848, offering an innovative solution for bridge construction[3]
Warren truss bridges are among the most iconic and widely used structural designs in civil engineering. Characterized by their distinctive arrangement of equilateral triangles, these bridges efficiently distribute loads while minimizing material usage. First patented in 1848 by British engineers Jam
