Space Frames can be defined as a three
dimensional structure, which is assembled linearly, the main purpose of space
frame is to transfer the load. It can be assembled in both of the forms either
in the form of flat surface or in the form of curved
surface.
Uses of space frames:
Buildings
construction
Hospitals
construction
Shopping
mall construction
Bridges
etc.
Space frame can be designed in following methods-
Space frame can be
designed using a complex and narrow matrix.
All the
matrices are fixed using connectors like: Nodus connector, Triodeticconnector,
Tuball node connector and hemispherical dome connector.
Space
frames can be designed using a geometrical shape.
It can
be designed linearly or curved.
The
main purpose of using space frame is its advantages: Space frame have following
advantages-
It is
light in weight.
It is
economical, you can easily afford it.
Its
construction is very much easy.
It can
also be used in lighting and air conditioning.
Just
because of its structure it saves construction time and cost.
It is
having highly inherent stiffness.
In
space frames durable materials are used, which is having protective finish.
Its construction
is simple, safe and fast.
It can
take too much load.
It
usually use double layer of domes, which makes space frame more rigid and
powerful.
Types of space frames:
These
are the following classifications of space frame-
Curvature Classification
Space
plane covers
Barrel
vaults
Spherical
domes
Classification
By The Arrangement Of Its Element
Single layer grid
Double
layer grid
Triple
layer grid
