When you build structures on-site, material and labour costs add up quickly. Manufacturers also have the advantage of better access to raw materials and logistics like rail cars. A case study by WRAP UK suggests that modular construction can reduce on-site material waste by up to 90% over traditional construction methods.

The basic difference in the behavior of a truss and a beam is that the truss comprises members that can sustain only axial forces but no bending moment or shear force which are the dominant forces in the beam. Truss members can thus transmit only axial forces (tensile and compressive forces). The displacement can be computed as ……………. (1)
