Space Frames
Space frames are trusses that span with two way action. Two way action refers to the fact that space trusses carry the load along both its axes, much like a two way concrete slabs. The two natural and basic design elements needed to create Space Frames are Triangles and Networks. These truss like triangular frame work is used to span square or rectangular areas. The individual members of truss are arranged in a pyramidal form to carry loads to four or more supports on all sides of square or rectangular base. Space Frames are used extensively, which allowed for long spans and column free interior spaces. The space Frames are constructed of prefabricated rods or tubes that are quickly assembled and erected by single methods. The joint are either bolted or welded.
- • Solid/ Hollow steel balljoint (High grade carbon steel/ Stainless steel)
- • Steel Pipes (Black steel pipe/ Stainless steel pipe)
- • Cone/ Prop (Mild Steel)
- • Collar/ Bush (Mild Steel)
- • High tension bolt (High tensile Steel)
Space truss systems are now a milestone in the truss structural systems they offer structural component size flexibility, broad material caries fast installation, and ease of quality control .
Many kinds of roofing material can be installed such as: Corrugated steel sheet with galvanized coated, zinc aluminum coated, Polycarbonate sheet etc.
- • Light weight.
- • Flexible, easy to install and dismantle.
- • Dynamic, can be extended or joined with additional units.
- • Can achieve a wider span roof.
- • The larger the arc of the structure, the coast will be more economical.
- • Aesthetic, due to the decorative geometrical structural pattern.
- • Prefabricated components, to ensure the quality of material and finishing is to be more reliable.
- • Fast site installation, without any disturbances to other site jobs.
Some of the many uses of space frame systems include:
- • ATRIUM
- • ENTRYWAYS
- • CANOPIES
- • ARENAS
- • EXHIBIT PAVILIONS
- • HANGERS
- • CONVENTION CENTERS TERMINALS
- • GRANDSTANDS
- • SPORTS FACILITIES
- • SWIMMING POOL COVER
- • SHOPPING MALLS
- • STADIUM PAVILLIONS
- • SLOPED GLAZING
- • LARGE SPAN FACTORY SHEDS
- • TOWERS
