    Advance Construction and Project Management-1

    Space frames are lightweight, truss-like structures constructed from interconnecting struts in a geometric pattern. They provide large, clear spans with few interior supports. Space frames transmit flexing loads as tension and compression along the length of each strut, making them inherently stiff and strong. While elegant, economic and fast to construct, space frames can be difficult to analyze, design and understand how forces will work.
