Technology Overview
The Cable-Spring Truss Support System is an innovative architectural technology that replaces traditional stiff compression struts with soft, deformable ones within cable-strut systems. This allows for large deformations, making it particularly suitable for lightweight structures such as atrium and stadium roofs. It aims to reduce vertical and lateral forces on supports, thereby offering a more efficient and flexible structural solution.
Key Advantages
- Enhanced flexibility compared to existing cable-strut systems
- Reduced vertical and lateral forces on structural supports
- Optimized for lightweight applications like stadium and atrium roofs
- Independently developed without federal or state grant dependencies
Problems Addressed
- Limitations in flexibility of traditional cable-strut structural systems
- Excessive forces on supports in lightweight architectural designs
Market Applications
- Architectural designs for lightweight structures such as stadiums and atriums
- Construction technologies seeking efficiency and flexibility in material use
- Innovative structural solutions for large-scale public and private spaces
