Thus, in Fig. loo, S^S^S^S^S^S^ is the reciprocal of A, S^S^lepresenting the portion of the horizontal wind-pressure borne. Fig. ioo. at A. Again, HS^^H is the reciprocal of B, HS^ represent-ing the portion of the horizontal wind-pressure borne at ^ = HS^ -{- S^S^ = total horizontal wind-pressure, S^S^ repre-senting the vertical reaction at B, and HS^ that at C. 25. Bridge-trusses.—A bridge-truss proper consists ofan upper chord (or flange), a lower chord (or flange), and an in-termediate portion, called the web, connecting the two depth is made as small as possible consistent with economy,strength, and stiffness. Its purpose is to carry a distributedload, which, as in the case of roof-trusses, is assumed to beconcentrated at the joints, or panel-points, of the upper andlower chord. Trussed beams are also employed for the sameobject, and examples of simple frames of this class have alreadybeen given. The following are bridge-trusses of a more complex char-acter. Ex. I. The beam ^C(Fig. loi) is supported at three pointsby the vertical struts DF, AK, EG, which are tied at the feetby the r
