A truss is a unit of measurement used in the field of railroad engineering and construction. Specifically, it refers to a structure that is typically made up of triangular units, which are used to support bridges, roofs, and other architectural elements. In this context, however, it must be noted that "truss" is not a standard measurement unit like meters or feet. Instead, it describes a type of structural system or design approach.
