steel truss details

(OP)
Does anyone know of sites with some standard steel truss details or a table of standard truss sizes/specs similar to the sites previously noted for wood trusses?

I have no experience in truss construction, and would like something to check feasibility and to check against the plans the arquitect has given.  (I'm working in a 3rd world country and don't really trust the arq.)  Planning on-site fabrication of steel trusses from angles, spans up to 35 feet.

Thanks.
