Las vigas en celosía o en cerchas están compuestas por elementos rectos y esbeltos unidos entre sí en sus extremos por medio de conexiones tipo articulación. El ensamblaje es tal que en el interior de la cercha se pueden identificar figuras estructuralmente estables como los triángulos. Debido al tipo de unión de los elementos en sus extremos, estos sólo trabajan a carga axial. En este tipo de estructuras, el momento interno es soportado por el efecto de par de fuerzas entre el cordón superior (compresión) e inferior (tracción) de la cercha. 2, record 1, Spanish, - cord%C3%B3n%20superior
