The membranes are supported by triangular trusses. Additional horizontal struts provide the required lateral stability. The structure makes an extremely stable impression, and not just visually.

To further enhance the structural stability, Dlubal customer Jiangsu Jingong Space Structure Co., Ltd. added additional trusses between the columns. This customer project shows how easy it is to create structures and that you can have both stability and elegance.
The structure was calculated using the Form-Finding and Steel Design add-ons for RFEM 6, taking into account the Chinese standards. The Stress-Strain Analysis add-on for RFEM 6 allowed for a detailed analysis of the orthotropic membrane material as part of the membrane analysis. The design verified that the stresses comply with the limit values of the Chinese standards.
Another Dlubal program that was utilized was RWIND. A digital wind tunnel ensured that the effects of wind loads had been considered properly.
This customer project shows how versatile Dlubal Software programs can be—a really interesting structure!
