In developing areas where there are no modern roads, first, they have to be built using heavy equipments and professional workers.

Another form of construction method is the use of trusses.

For construction of large structures such as bridges, trusses are greatly used.

Trusses are also used for spanning long distance such as roof which provides large space with columns far apart.

One such truss system creating large expanse of space is called spaceframe.

Spaceframe consist of placing together pyramid shapes side by side and interchanging their square bases at top and bottom.

Trusses are also used as girders (beams).

Use of truss systems allows cantilever construction method which eliminates the need of scaffolding.

Terraced structured land or TSL is composed of trusses.

TSL framing members (white for spaceframe, blue and red for girders and green for columns) are all assembled manually.

For terraced structured land construction system, there is no substitute for trusses.

The length and weight of the framing members for all the trusses which form platforms, girders and columns are short and light for easy handling by a person.

All framing members are steel pipes with hollow steel sections subject mainly to tension and compression forces with very minor bending.

The terraced structured land is constructed by forming various size and shaped triangles placed continuously for columns, girders and platforms.
