insulation, but at the same time it also provides you with a very good system for structural support. It might require some
additional materials in order to make it bring the best results, not to mention that the costs can be a little higher when
compared to other truss types, but it does help you lower the energy bill value, so keep that in mind.

of its low tensile strength and brittle nature, it behaves non linearly at all times because it has essentially zero strength in
tension it is always used as reinforced concrete, as a composite material and it is a mixture of sand, aggregate, cement
and water whereas structures are highly vulnerable to tensile cracking due to very low thermal coefficient of expansion.
