Figure 11-42. The Brown module is shown here combined into space modules that can be stacked on top of one another. This arrangement allows you to easily adjust the height of the resulting structure.

The Brown truss is resistant to compression and torsion. Its resistance to tension and bending depends on the strength of connections between its modules.

Warren truss

The Warren truss combines two simple planar trusses. The length and angle of the slanted beams (light grey) can be adjusted as needed. The slanted beams also don’t have to be adjacent—small gaps between them are acceptable. The horizontal beams (dark grey) can be studless, as in Figure 11-38, or studfull, as shown above (in which case they can be further reinforced with plates).

The Warren truss is resistant to compression, tension, and bending. Torsion affects connections between its planar trusses and can lead to disintegration.
