A cambered truss is a type of truss that is intentionally built with a slight upward curve or arch. This is done to help the truss resist loads and to improve its appearance. Camber can be built into a truss in a number of ways, including by adjusting the fabrication jigging or by adding temporary supports during construction.
The Cambered Truss is configurable in a range of sizes with typical spans between 22’-44’ (6.7-13.4 m) and overall heights of 3’8”-22’ (1.12-6.7 m). The thickness of wood trusses is commonly 1.5”, 3”, or 4.5” (3.8, 7.6, 11.4 cm). Trusses have a pitch ratio typically between 1:1 to 1:6.
