SPACE TRUSS SYSTEMS

Steel is the most suitable material for countries that most of the lands are in the 1 st and 2 nd degree earthquake zone. This material is light and elastic. Space Truss Systems are completely made of steel. Due to their high elasticity and esthetically shown and other properties Space Truss Systems are used in a huge scope in TURKEY.

We project, manufacture and construct Space Truss Systems by own personals. And we also give help to many architectural or engineering company in their preliminary design of space truss systems. If you decide to use a space truss system in a project , due to the less dead load of space truss system you can get economy at the foundation. And also with a successful project you can minimize the size and number of columns.

The difference between dimensional frames and Space Truss Systems is : Space Truss Systems are made of connection of tubes in three different dimension. There are many ways ( welding, using spheres, by screws, etc. ) to connect tubes at nodes.

Space Truss Systems can be used not only to pass large one-way spans but also to pass large two-way spans.

Space Truss Systems are rigid and economic. They can be in the shape of a flat or a broken flat or a arc or a hemisphere. Therefore they are adaptable for every architectural design.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SPACE TRUSS SYSTEMS

•  Space Truss Systems are fully prefabricated. Therefore no additional manufacturing process is need on construction site. Only assemble in site.

•  System consists of small and light particles. They can manufactured easily and in a little time. Because of the lightness of the particles weight to hold them big machines are not certainly necessary. They can assemble by using a single scaffolding.

•  When they are compared with the classical frames they can not only pass over one-way span but also two-way span.

•  Due to its property of passing two-way span they can be designed as a shape of flat, sphere, cylindrical or prism.

•  They have high rigidity, therefore they have less weight according to the conventional systems. In addition to this they make economy in foundation.

•  If they designed as a screw connected, they can be de-montage and then montage in an other place.

•  If you get the necessary precautions at nodes you can suspend the climate channels, electricity lines and apparatus to the system. And also they can be placed in the thickness of system. It gives you much more free space under the system.
