Description of steel tube truss
Tube trusses are steel frames made of interconnected steel tubes. Steel tube truss structure is developed based on the net frame structure, which has the characteristics of economic material, lightweight structure, and can meet different building requirements.
Application fields of steel tube truss
In truss structures, the members are primarily subjected to axial tension or compression, resulting in uniform stress distribution across the cross-section. This efficient load transfer mechanism allows for optimal utilization of material properties, minimizing weight while maximizing strength. Tubular trusses, in particular, offer exceptional versatility in fabrication, enabling the creation of various structural forms such as simply supported trusses, arches, frames, and towers. Their inherent strength-to-weight ratio, combined with ease of fabrication and assembly, makes tubular trusses an ideal choice for large-span construction projects:
Stadium roofs
Airport terminals
Exhibition halls
Industrial facilities
Bridge projects
Shopping centers
Railway station
Classification of Steel Tube Truss
By Truss Chords Form
According to the number of chords, the tube truss can be divided into a single chord tube truss and a multi-chord tube truss.
By Diameter & Wall Thickness
Large diameter thick tube trusses
Mostly used in places requiring high load capacity, such as bridge building, industry factories, airport steel structures, and stadium steel structures.
Small diameter thin tube trusses
Have the advantages of light structure and easy construction, which are used for booth background, stage construction, advertising background, and so on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a steel tube truss structure?
Tube trusses are strong frames constructed using interconnected steel tubes. This system builds upon traditional net frame structures, offering optimized material efficiency and a lightweight build that satisfies diverse architectural needs.
Where are steel tube trusses commonly applied?
Due to their strength, they are ideal for large-span structures including stadium roofs, airport terminals, exhibition halls, industrial facilities, bridge projects, shopping centers, and railway stations.
Why do tubular trusses perform well under heavy loads?
In these structures, members primarily carry axial tension or compression. This helps distribute stress uniformly across the cross-sections, maximizing strength while keeping the structural weight to a minimum.
How are tube trusses classified by their chords?
Depending on the structural requirement and the number of chords integrated into the design, tube trusses are generally divided into single chord tube trusses and multi-chord tube trusses.
What is the difference between large and small diameter tube trusses?
Large diameter thick tube trusses are built for heavy-duty support in bridges and industrial factories. In contrast, small diameter thin tube trusses are lightweight, easy to construct, and perfect for display booths, stages, and advertising backdrops.
