ABSTRACT:
A modular constructional element comprises a truss including first and second longitudinally-extending bars joined by a plurality of transversely-extending bars such that the transversely-extending bars all occupy a first plane, and the first and second longitudinally-extending bars occupy second and third planes on opposite sides of the first plane. One of the longitudinally-extending bars has a substantial width in its respective plane to serve as a deck member in a construction utilizing a plurality of such modular elements. Such modular elements are useful in constructing various types of load-bearing structures, particularly bridges, since they are self-nesting and thereby decrease the volume for shipping, storing and handling, and also obviate the need for separate containers.
