A top chord is the top horizontal member of a truss that runs for the entire horizontal length of the truss.
A chord truss that is parallel:)
Single pitch truss is used for example in storage buildings, machine shelters and in residential buildings. Single pitch truss roof enables directing the snow away from passageways. Width of the truss bottom chord can be maximum 20 meters.

Compression or tension, the top chord will always experience compression and the bottom chord will always experience tension. The other members can experience either.
A truss made with one top chord steeper than the other, usually to add windows is called a sawtooth truss
If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.
the bottom chord is the bottom part of the bridge that holds everything in place.
multiply the chord length and radius and divide by 2
Unless the chord is the diameter, there is no way to measure the radius of the circle. This is because the radius is in no way dependent on chord length since circles have infinite amount of chord lengths.
Its the bottommost horizontal member.
An open-frame N-truss without diagonal members, with rigid joints between the top and bottom chords and the verticals. Known also as open-frame truss or vierendeel truss.
