APPROVED BY TATAMOTORS (TELCO)
FOR DESIGNING, MANUFACTURING AND ERECTING THREADED NODE
TYPE SPACE-FRAMES FOR THEIR DEALERS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
IN THE COUNTRY.
ADVANTAGES OF SPACE-FRAMES
-
Large spans can be achieved
-
Concentrated loads are evenly distributed on the
entire structure
-
Pleasing decorative appearance
-
Fast installation at site due to pre-fabricated
components
-
Very good acoustical properties
“The
experience of the last (world) war proves that
grids resist
aerial
attacks or explosions
much better
than any other structural system; local damage to the
grid rarely, if ever,leads to a collapse of the entire
structure”

TYPES OF SPACE-FRAMES
-
SKELETON FRAMEWORKS
Number of bars interconnected at the nodes
-
STRESSED SKIN SYSTEMS
Using a composition of thin sheet material and ribs
is a total structural system called STRESSED SKIN.
It is the structural
system used in aircraft, the space shuttle, unit body
automobiles
-
SUSPENDED STRUCTURES
Form of long-span structure that is subject to tension
and uses suspension cables for support.
DOUBLE LAYER GRID
Double layered grids have a top frame , a
bottom frame and inter-connecting diagonal members
