Space frame structure is essentially a triangulated system of straight interconnected structural elements. The most common use of trusses is in buildings, where support to roofs, the floors and internal loading such as services and suspended ceilings, are readily provided. The main reasons for using trusses are:
. Long span
. Lightweight
. Reduced deflection (compared to plain members)
. Opportunity to support considerable loads.
. Good wind resistance, snow resistance and seismic performance, high stiffness and structural safety
. Convenient installation and short construction period
. Capable of implementing various spatial three-dimensional shapes
You can also see the space frame design at:
- Jacob K. Javits Convention Center
- Biosphere 2
- Harbin Opera House
- McCormick Place
- Many others
Additional common uses for space frame structures include:
- Aircraft hangars
- Airports
- Cinemas
- Conference halls
- factories
- Exhibition halls
- Shopping centers
- Stadiums
- Swimming pools
- Towers
- Warehouses
