User: What is the strongest type of truss design for a bridge?

Weegy: A box truss with diagonals inside to prevent torque.
of course, you could just make a steel bar.
the real challenge is to make it using the minimum amount of material and labor.
you also have to know what stresses you're designing it for.
eg: foot traffic?
automobile road?
railroad?
what's the number of lanes?
and the length?
student project to support a load over a 3' span?
the designs for each will be different.
