Framework of beams (5)

I believe the answer is:

truss

(Other definitions for truss that I've seen before include "Bind - structural framework" , "US state" , "Bundle of hay or straw" , "Hay bundle; tomato cluster" , "Architectural corbel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time and The Washington Post.
