There is no real answer, as anyone could make a new kind of truss rod, for example a licorice truss rod. Perhaps you mean that a truss rod could be under stress or under compression, or be designed for both.

What is a truss rod?
It's a long rod lodged up in the neck of a guitar used for keeping the neck of the guitar straight. The truss rod is used to allow the neck to bend either way in response to the tension of the strings. Without it, there would be no steel string guitars, the neck wouldn't be able to handle the tension of the strings. Many beginners think that adjusting the truss rod will lower the "action" or how high the strings are from the fret board of the guitar. This is not entirely true and it is probably more of a Nut and saddle/bridge adjustment that is needed.

Is silk and steel strings safe for a nylon string classical guitar with a truss rod?
not quite. the truss rod will in fact reinforce the neck, but the bridge area can really suffer from high tension. not to mention the saddle nut and tuners. When a CF Martin guitar was custom built for this kind of versatility it used a totally different engineering and it was much more acoustic than classical. why ruin a guitar?

Can we install a truss rod to a guitar neck which originally doesn't have a truss rod?
In short you can do, but it's a very lengthly process and will cost you a fair bit of cash. Usually the way to do it (assuming your neck is deep enough to accommodate the truss rod) is to remove the fretboard, then route a channel down the centre of the neck under the board, install the rod with the adjustment nut at the headstock end, then reglue the fretboard. Though TRUSS me, it's a lot harder than I made it sound just then! I'd recommend taking it to your local repair place to get a quote and don't try it yourself unless you're a master router. If the problem you're trying to fix with a truss rod is that you're guitar neck is slightly warped, then a slightly easier option would be to get the frets out, plane/sand the fretboard level and then get it re-fretted.

It depends on the problem with your truss rod. I answered a question already on how to adjust the truss rod on a bass guitar. Search for "How do i adjust a truss rod on a bass guitar?" If your truss rod is broken or the threads are stripped search for "truss rod rescue kit". Before you buy it, read the details and watch the video so you know what you're getting into.
