Alpine truss designs are engineered to meet specific span configuration and load conditions. A line of continuous structural members to a chord or web member of a truss to reduce the laterally unsupported length of the truss member. For example an 8 10 metre span for a timber truss is quite a long one and can lead to problems.

The clr must be properly braced to prevent the simultaneous lateral deformation and or buckling of the series of truss members to which it is attached due to laterally imposed loads on and or the accumulation of buckling forces within the truss members.
