Original Abstract

The paper is focussed on the preliminary design of bearing structures in the sense of selecting a structural system suitable for a given span, selecting dimensions and an efficient shape. The preliminary design is based on two methods: empirical and exact. The empirical one uses formulas, nomograms, tables, graphs or analogy with the implemented building. The exact one uses computational programmes, manual numerical approximate or graphic techniques. The paper shows some examples of possible preliminary design solution of a truss: using formulae, using nomogram, reading from graph, shape determination by numerical or graphic technique.
