Space Frame Structures
A space frame, also called a space structure, is a truss-like structure comprising of struts that are interconnected in a geometric pattern that is both strong and lightweight.
It is a modern architectural and structural engineering technique that is being used to effectively cover large areas while using just a small number of internal supports. Space frame architecture has been more prominent in the last few decades and is now evolving globally.
Types of Space Frames
Depending on the curvature and how the elements are arranged, there are numerous kinds of space frames
- Space Plane Covers
- Barrel Vaults
- Spherical Domes
Applications of Space Frame Structure
Commercial and Industrial Buildings- Conference Hall
- Auditoriums
- Warehouses
- Skylights
- Shopping Malls
- Canopies
- Airports
- Airplane Hangars
- Toll booths
- Exhibition Center
- Sports stadiums
Advantages of Space Frame Structures
- Because of their extreme sturdiness and lightweight nature, space frame structures provide the most precise load distribution.
- Space frames benefit from being lightweight, mass-produced, stiff, and versatile compared to other common structures.
- The space frame structures' prefabricated parts make installation relatively simple.
- Space frame buildings are highly portable and manageable.
- These kinds of buildings provide good cambering facilities.
- Excellent acoustic qualities may be found in space frame constructions.
- It doesn't require purlins.
- It is better suited for buildings with irregular plan shapes and sites.
- Also appropriate for a larger-span construction.
- It offers an explicit term without a column.
- By offering a mid-column, this structure eliminates the necessity for geometric stability.
- It offers a significant spawn at low altitudes.
- It offers a little amount of deflection.
- It offers affordable transit prices.
