Abstract
A truss is a structure composed of rod members arranged to form one or more triangles. The joints are pinned (do not transmit moments) so that the members must be triangulated. A frame, on the other hand, is a structure that consists of arbitrarily oriented beam members which are connected rigidly or by pins at joints. The members support bending as well as axial loads.
