Concept for foldable and deployable truss offers advantages of strength, rigidity, and mechanical simplicity. Structure consists of series of boxlike bays with 9-ft sides. Each box has panels on top and bottom and two sides. Two remaining sides open. Panels hinged at connecting edges. Adapted to terrestrial transportable structures, scaffolds, cranes, and rows of cubicles.
