    摘要: Primary architectural hubs useful for providing geodesic structures, the hubs provided enabling a strut configuration interface having increased strength over analogous articles of the prior art. In some embodiments are provided secondary hubs attached to the primary hubs, which provide for truss configurations enabling rectangular apertures such as doors to be affixed to a geodesic structure without compromising the strength of the geodesic structure as a whole, which was the case with prior art geodesic structures.

    摘要: A dome enclosure that can be constructed on any foundation includes a plurality of dome structures and a bonding material. Each of the plurality of dome sections has a curved beam, a wall bracket, and a plurality of blocks. The wall bracket rests on the foundation and can be fitted for straight walls, curved walls, corners, etc. The curved beam is positioned into the wall bracket, wherein the wall bracket can be moved to readjust the position of the curved beam. The plurality of blocks is supported by the curved beam, wherein the plurality of blocks of an arbitrary section spans the distance to a subsequent section. Once the plurality of dome sections has been erected around the foundation, the bonding material is poured, or otherwise applied, wherein a single solid structure is formed.

    摘要: Supporting structure (8) for curved envelope geometries in buildings consisting of support elements (4) which are each combined to form N-sided polygons (N=3,4, . . . ) which span the envelope geometry and which each enclose a planar surface element (5), and the support elements (4) of adjacent N-sided polygons each form a common node region (3) in which the support elements (4) abut, and the plane of a surface element (5) and the respective planes of the surface elements (5) of two N-sided polygons which adjoin in non-parallel spatial directions lie in different planes in at least one portion of the envelope geometry. According to the invention, the support elements (4) in this portion each form 4- or 6-sided polygons, and the support elements (4) each have a longitudinal axis (L) which extends in a straight line between in each case two node regions (3) and runs parallel to the imaginary intersection line of the surface element planes associated with said portion, wherein the cross section of the support elements (4) normal to their longitudinal axis in each case has a relative twist angle of 0° along the entire longitudinal axis of the support element (4).

    摘要: A method and apparatus for the attachment of sheet cladding and other thin surfaces to structural frame members such as in space frames and other lattice structures. A batten assembly may be either partially integrated into an elongated structural member or attached by fasteners. A batten receiver provides a pair of sheet margin receiving channels and a fastener guide channel. The batten receiver may be integrated into the surface of the elongated structural member which for example, may be a tubular member or I-beam. The mating batten comprises shoulders which are essentially congruent to the receiving channels. Between the shoulders, an elongated recess mates with a pair of guide walls in the receiver. A fastener such as a metal screw having a cutting tip, may be installed through the recess and the guide channel and into the wall of the elongated structural member to provide secure connection of the batten members to one another. The shoulder and receiving channels receive the sheet margins in compressive engagement. The invention herein permits the cladding of elongated structural members in an aesthetically pleasing flush mounting configuration which allows for water run-off from the cladding sheet surfaces. The invention also provides an advantageous hidden round seal configuration which while also being aesthetically more pleasing, is also more protective of the seal integrity. This invention also provides batten attachments of sheet cladding and other thin surfaces to elongated members of a tubular cross-section.

    摘要: A structural assembly has elongate members extending at angles to one another from connector members and forming with the connector members a lattice structure having open spaces defined by the elongate members, with the connector members at corners of the open spaces. Tension members extending between the connector members have opposite end portions extending through the connector members to anchor members on the tension members. Adjustable fasteners retain the anchor members on the end portions of the tension members and the anchor members are distributed around the connector members, with each of the anchor members in a respective one of the angles in wedging relationship with a pair of the elongate members.
