Abstract:Lightweight structures in grid form made of bar elements joined together with nodes are called reticulated shells, or gridshells. Different gridshell structural systems are studied, and a new connection system and method for generating this system are proposed. The connection system applies to structures with surfaces that have a high variability of curvature and connection parameters. Prior to the development of such a connection, the choices of materials, existing types of connections, grid patterns, claddin… Show more
