Structures with spans larger than 20 meters are considered long span structures because ordinary reinforced concrete structures usually cannot achieve such large spans. When selecting a long span structure type, factors like the building type, functional requirements, loading conditions, aesthetic considerations, and lighting requirements must be considered. Common long span structure types include trussed systems like trussed rafters and trussed girders as well as portal frames, with steel and timber being common materials used for trusses.
