Introduction of Space Structure:

What Is Space Frame?

Components of Space Frame System.

Advantages of Space Frame Structure.

1. Space frame structures are lightweight.
2. The space frame structure is sufficiently stiff.
3. It is very easy to install the space frame structures because of its prefabricated component parts.
4. Space frame structures have excellent duration to depth ratio.
5. Space frame structures are very easy to transport and handle.
6. This type of structures provides good cambering facilities.
7. Space frame structures have excellent acoustic properties.
8. It does not require purlins.
9. It is more suitable for the structures which have irregular plan shape and site.
10. Also, suitable for a structure that has a larger span.
11. It provides a column-free explicit term.
12. This structure eliminates the need for geometric stability, providing a mid-column.
13. It provides a large spawn at low altitudes.
14. It provides minimum deflection.
15. It provides low transportation costs.

Disadvantages of Space Frame Structure.

1. The construction of the space frame structure is restricted to the 40 ft when the reinforced concrete is used.
2. Space frames which are span in three-dimensional plate structure which are based on the rigidity of the triangle and composed of linear elements generally subject only to axial tension or compression.
3. Even though there are some connections which are comparatively rigid joints due to the influence of bending or torsional moment is insignificant.

Space Frame Structures Examples.

1. Stansted Airport, by Foster Partners.
2. Bank of China Tower and the Louvre Pyramid.
3. Rogers Centre by Rod Robbie and Michael Allan
4. McCormick Place East in Chicago.
5. Arena das Dunas in Natal, Brazil by Populous
6. Eden Project in Cornwall, England
7. Globen, Sweden - Dome with a diameter of 110 m, (1989)
8. Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport terminal 2.

Limitations of Space Frame Structure

1. Space frames are classified into three types conferring to the number of grid layers; Single, double, or triple layer.
2. Space frame trusses can be used for platforms or overhead structures that span large distances without the need for internal load-bearing supports.
3. Space can be made by frame connection; welding, bolting or threading
4. Space frame construction uses three main methods of construction; Scaffolding Method, Block Assembly Method, Lift-up Method
5. Space frames are beneficial by them as associated with other common structures; Lightweight, mass production, rigidity, and versatility.

How Do You Design a Space Truss?

• Finite Element Method: According to the different elements used in the bar, it can be further divided into the bar finite element method and the beam finite element method.
• Force Method: The force method in classical structural mechanics is used to solve the problem.
• Differential method: Differential equation is solved by difference method.
• Analytical method of differential equation: approximate solution of differential equation, such as variational method, weighted parameter method, etc.
