= Introduction =

A strut can be defined as a structure that has compression acting upon it or pushing it together. Struts are most frequently made from timber or metal.

= Struts and ties =

The counterpart of a strut is a tie, which is a structure that has tension acting upon it or stretching it apart.

Struts and ties are common structural components of a truss. The two components work together to support the weight of other parts of the structure. The struts provide outwards facing support and sometimes contribute to tension that is required in the structure. Ties perform the opposite function.

Struts and trusses are used to support roofs, bridges and walls. Struts are also used in piping to reduce unwanted movement of components

As a component of a moveable bridge, the strut can work in conjunction with other mechanisms to open and close the bridge.

= Strutting and strut channels =

Strutting is a method of providing temporary support to the side of a trench. It is sometimes called timbering and planking. Strutting can be used between floor joists to increase the strength of flooring systems. In this instance, it may also be referred to as blocking.

Strut channels (also referred to as channel struts) are components that are used to support cable management and plumbing systems. They are made from steel, aluminium or other forms of plastic and can be used to connect pipes, wire, threaded rods or bolts to walls.
