Space Frames

A Space Frame or Space Structure is a truss like, light weight rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames usually utilize a multidirectional span, and are often used to accomplish long spans (up to 100 m) with few supports. Space Frames are excellent in resisting the loads in different angles; due to the three dimensional inter connectivity of members and continuity of the truss in the three dimensions. To utilize the maximum structural advantage of the space truss technology, continuous members are used as bottom and top chord members, joined together with the diagonal members. Space Frames are ideal for use in Shopping Malls, Food Court, Transport Terminals, indoor stadiums, Convention centers, Warehouses, factories, Centre Courtyards etc.Space Frames are most recommended for large span structures with minimum columns, Cantilever structures, structures with inbuilt roof drainage and cat walk, structures with irregular supports or concentrated loads etc.
