 space frame or space structure   a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure

constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern.

Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior supports.

Like the truss, a space frame is strong because of the inherent rigidity of the triangle; flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tensionand compression loads along the length of each strut.

Some space frame applications include: 

  Hotel/Hospital/commercial

building entrances  Airports  Cinema hall Canopies

Jaguar C-Type Frame

Yeoman YA-1 vs CA-6 Wackett frame

Tirumailai MRTS station Chennai (Madras)

2006 Ducati Monster S2R 1000

Advantages of space frame systems over conventional systems: Random column placement Column-free spaces Minimal perimeter support Controlled load distribution Design freedom Supports all types of roofing
