cable

The article presents methodology and results of experimental investigation of full-scale steel and concrete composite cable space frame 5.3 m on effect short-term loading. The experimental sample consisted of flexible elements of the lower belt and steel and concrete composite space modules. Elements of the lower belt were made of pieces of rolled steel with a circular cross section of 16 mm in diameter.

The paper studies the theoretical calculations of the material and human resources that is needed for manufacturing and construction the spatial grid-cable steel-concrete composite slab. Some comparative characteristics of the construction were estimated such as weight, bearing capacity etc. The spatial grid-cable steel-concrete composite slab is the new kind of a construction for long-span roofs and shells. The feature of the construction is in its the constructive concept. This construction consists of the diagonal members, the top and the bottom chords.
