ABSTRACT:
A truss structure having upper and lower wood chords joined by tubular metal web members. The chords are formed with a plurality of slots for receiving the ends of the web members. Each slot extends from the inner face to the outer face of the chord. Cross bores extend from the inner walls of the slots laterally toward the edges of the chords. Clevis assemblies are inserted into each slot. The ends of the web members are inserted into the slots and attached to the clevis members by metal pins. Load forces from the webs are distributed to the faces of the wood chords through flanges on the clevis member or connector plates. Load forces are also distributed to the wood chords through the clevis member to the pin and directly to the wood by the configuration of the clevis member.
