Advantages of Space Frame

Space Frame or Space structure is a sturdy, lightweight, 3D truss like structure. In the past few decades, the proliferation was mainly due to its significant structural potential and aesthetics. New and innovative applications of space frames are being demonstrated in building types such as sports arenas, exhibition pavilion, assembly halls, airplane hangars and airport terminal buildings. They have been used not only for long span roofs, but also on medium and short span roofs and canopies.

Advantages of Space frame:

1. These three-dimensional structures are sturdy. They aid load sharing with maximum precision.
2. The steel elements are portable and lightweight. Therefore, their assembly is modular, secure and efficient.
3. It is capable of bearing heavy loadings with minimum deflections.
4. The cost of transportation is less as compared to conventional steel structures.
5. Space frame/ Space structure also allows odd placement of columns, along with integral cladding and glazing. Therefore, modularity is achieved with these structures.
6. Efficient, both structurally and functionally
7. They allow hassle free erection and and a geometric balance. These boost the aesthetics of the construction and offers flexibility.
8. Easily expandable and are built following assembly line approaches with a very minimum amount of seismic resistance.

Conclusion:

A growing interest rate in Space Frame Structure has been witnessed over the last half century. With the advent of new building techniques and construction materials, space frame frequently provide the right answer and satisfy the requirements for lightness, economy and speedy construction. Significant progress has been made in the process of the development of the space frame.
