What shapes a truss bridge have ?

A moving-scaffold device for painting a truss bridge has the scaffold and inner three-dimensional frames comprising a ceiling and both lateral surfaces with plural wheels at their feet to move at a low speed by driving powers

1. A moving-scaffold device for painting a truss bridge, the scaffold and inner three-dimensional frames comprising a ceiling and both lateral surfaces with plural wheels at a low speed by driving powers, linked with the scaffold and outer three-dimensional frames comprising a roof and both lateral surfaces with plural wheels underneath the roof to move at a low speed by driving powers, with plural couplings

3. A moving-scaffold device for painting a truss bridge, according to claim 1 or 2, in which a part or all parts of the inner three-dimensional frames have waterproof

Conventionally, it is very inefficient to build scaffolding for painting a truss bridge as the afore-mentioned, although public enterprises should cost time and money as little as possible

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIN It is an object of the invention to provide a moving-scaffold device with couplings for painting a truss bridge in the shortest time so as to minimize wood, labor costs and traffic jams, which will be a profitable business in the future

According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a moving-scaffold device for painting a truss bridge which has the scaffold and inner three-dimensional frames comprising a ceiling and both lateral surfaces having plural wheels at their feet to move at a low speed by driving powers, linked with the scaffold and outer three-dimensional frames comprising a roof and both lateral surfaces having plural wheels underneath the roof to move at a low speed by driving powers, with plural couplings

According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a moving-scaffold device for painting a truss bridge without wheels underneath the roof of the outer three-dimensional frames

According to a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a moving-scaffold device for painting a truss bridge with waterproof on a part or all parts of the inner three-dimensional frames

Truss bridge

A truss bridge is a bridge composed of connected elements (typically straight) which may be stressed from tension, compression, or sometimes both in response to dynamic loads. Truss bridges are one of the oldest types of modern bridges. This type of bridge structure has a fairly simple design and is particularly cheap to construct owing to its efficient use of materials. For purposes of analysis most truss bridges may be considered to be pin jointed where the straight components meet. A more complex analysis may be required where rigid joints impose significant bending loads upon the elements.

Warren-type simple truss bridge of the former Seaboard Air Line Railway. Located near the village of Willow, Florida. Abandoned by CSX since the mid-1980s.

In the bridge illustrated in the infobox at right, vertical members are in tension, lower horizontal members in tension, shear, and bending, outer diagonal and top members are in compression, while the inner diagonals are in tension. The central vertical member stabilizes the upper compression member, preventing it from buckling. If the top member is sufficiently stiff then this vertical element may be eliminated. If the lower chord (a horizontal member of a truss) is sufficiently resistant to bending and shear, the outer vertical elements may be eliminated.

The inclusion of the elements shown is largely an engineering decision based upon economics, being a balance between the costs of raw materials, off-site fabrication, component transportation, on-site erection, the availability of machinery and the cost of labor. In other cases the appearance of the structure may take on greater importance and so influence the design decisions beyond mere matters of economics. Modern materials such as prestressed concrete and fabrication methods, such as automated welding, and the changing price of steel relative to that of labor have significantly influenced the design of modern bridges.

The four span General Hertzog Bridge over the Orange River at Aliwal North carries vehicular traffic.

The truss may carry its roadbed on top, in the middle, or at the bottom of the truss. Bridges with the roadbed at the top or the bottom
