vierendeel girder or open-frame girder


Explanation:
vierendeel girder

An open-frame N-truss without diagonal members, with rigid joints between
the top and bottom chords and the verticals. Known also as open-frame
girder. Hammond




La poutre échelle ou Vierendeel
Composée de deux membrures parallèles ou non, cette poutre comporte seulement des montants assemblés rigidement sur les membrures. Il n'y a pas de diagonales. L'ensemble forme un système hyperstatique (voir ce mot) de degré élevé nécessitant le recours à des calculs complexes de déformations pour en justifier les sections.
