The “cheaper” nature of using a space structure compared to other types of structures such as sheds or trusses, especially in large spans, makes it the only acceptable and most economical option.
The ability to “adapt and overlap the form of the space structure” with various architectural forms is another feature that this type of structure provides, and this becomes more apparent when combined with its other properties (such as the ability to cover large spaces, etc.).
The “beauty” of the space structure components and their combination in an implemented structure gives such a pleasant shape to the created space that it does not need secondary false coverings that are usually implemented to hide structural load-bearing parts, in addition to saving on the costs of implementing such coverings.
The ability to “industrially produce” prefabricated parts at the factory site, in addition to achieving speed and accuracy in the production of parts, will also allow for precise quality control of the manufactured parts, which will ultimately result in a high safety factor in the implemented structure.
The ability to select “space structure supports without observing a specific order”, which usually requires a specific arrangement in other similar structures, is another feature of this type of structure, which allows the necessary space creation without the need for additional work to reduce the number of columns in open spaces.
The ability to “cover large spaces with minimal support” around and without the use of intermediate supports or with minimal intermediate supports. The most important feature of this type of structure is “lightness” along with its high stiffness, which in large spans helps tremendously in reducing steel consumption and also reduces the total cost of the implemented structure compared to similar structures.
“High speed” in the production, transportation and installation stage of the structure is another important feature of the spatial structure, which plays an effective role in reducing the project completion time and subsequently reducing the project implementation costs. The synchronization of the production and implementation process is one of the important features of this system, which has a tremendous effect on the speed of work.
“High safety of the spatial structure” due to the high degree of uncertainty of the structure is another of its prominent features, in such a way that, assuming that a number of structural elements are removed from the load-bearing system of the implemented structure, the collapse of the entire structure is prevented by redistributing the forces applied to the remaining surrounding elements, which is a feature resulting from the three-dimensional performance of the spatial structure.
Obtaining a “horizontal and level surface under the roof of the space structure”, regardless of the type and degree of slope on it, which is considered for the drainage of atmospheric precipitation, is another advantage of the space structure.
The “space between the layers of the space structure” implemented allows various additional parts to the space structure, such as utility channels and lighting systems, to be easily passed through it, and in addition to the proper protection provided to these parts, they are significantly removed from the view of the users of that space.
The possibility of “connecting multiple hangers” for additional parts at any point in the space created by the space structure.
The possibility of creating different surfaces with “different slopes” on one surface of the space structure implemented.
Since each piece of the space structure with any dimensions consists of components with limited dimensions, its transportation and also “installation and assembly” can be carried out easily.
The ability to apply various protective coatings to parts (such as various paints and even various platings) due to the limited dimensions of the components of the space structure is also one of its other capabilities.
The ability to “expand the implemented space” in any direction, whether during construction or after completion of the work or even after several years of construction, with minimal changes to the implemented structure and minimal cost and time.
The ability to “remove or change the location of the support of the implemented space structure” with minimal changes to the existing structure and with minimal time and cost.
Minimum “work interference” with other construction activities that are being carried out in parallel at the construction site.
“No need for heavy machinery or special devices” during the installation and implementation of the space structure and the ability to consider the specific implementation conditions of each project during design and production.
“The possibility of opening and closing the spatial structure repeatedly”, which allows it to be used in different places in the same form or with a new form, introduces this system as a capital item (the opened elements are examined for quality control before reassembly).
Due to the “elegance of the elements used in the spatial structure” and also the specific volumetric form it has, the space covered by this system will seem more open than the useful space to a viewer inside the space, and the spaces will appear larger.
The possibility of “choosing different lengths” for the springs of the spatial structure makes it possible to cover any space with any dimensions in this type of structure with different shapes.
The special capabilities and characteristics of the spatial structure make it widely used in various projects with different uses, some of which are described below:
Spaces that require large open openings without intermediate columns, such as sports venues such as swimming pools and sports halls, or cultural venues such as amphitheaters, cinemas, or industrial spaces such as factory production halls and aircraft hangars, etc. . . .
Places that, due to architectural issues, require large open spaces with a minimum of supporting columns for the load-bearing structure to have a wider view, such as exhibition spaces, passenger terminals, shopping malls, voids and skylights in residential and commercial spaces, meeting halls, and restaurants, etc. . . .
Spaces that require a lightweight yet resistant structure due to load-carrying limitations by supports, such as additional floors or areas that require large-sized foundations due to low soil resistance or limitations in implementing large-sized foundations. Low loads at their supports.
Temporary spaces that must be installed and assembled periodically, such as seasonal or mobile exhibitions or use in temporary residences in disaster areas that require temporary and quick-to-build shelters. – In projects where the space expansion plan in one or more directions is likely to be possible, this structure will make this possible easily and at minimal cost, such as exhibition halls or factory production halls or cultural spaces or basically any space where investment is made over a long period of time but the use of previous spaces is required.
Suitable for all types of roof coverings, walls, load-bearing floors, use in facades, advertising boards, telecommunication masts and observation posts. Suitable for areas where facilities such as construction equipment and machinery are not available to implement such spaces, because this system can be implemented with minimal equipment and specialized personnel.
In projects where high speed of construction and implementation is required. Since all connections of the spatial structure are made with bolts and nuts and no welding operations are performed, the system is suitable for implementation in places such as chemical factories or textile factories or in proximity to combustible and flammable materials.
The thickness of space structures depends on the type of structure and the type of use. In the construction of space structures, two-layer and three-layer networks are used. The thickness of the roof of the space structure is usually from 3 percent to 5 percent of the free span length. And it is 11 percent compared to the width.
Spacecraft structures are divided into three categories.
1- Steel 2 – Aluminum 3- Wooden
1- Two-layer structures 2- Three-layer structures 3- Barrel structures
4- Dome structures 5- Folding structures etc.
1- Merv connection
2- Catros connection
3- Unibet connection
4- Triodetic connection
