Ch-11-Space Frames
Load Distribution
Space frame is 3D and span in two direction
versus 2D truss (purlin) span in one direction.
Min Depths= 3% of Span;
Practical Depths= 5% span & 11% of
cantilever span

Continuous Supporting wall: (figure 11.10)
• Wall is trussed or solid (bearing wall);
• Distributes the loads uniformly from Space
Frames to the 4 walls (e.g. Plane cover);
• Together with Space Frame + Wall system
act like a two way slab or 3 way slab
systems;
• The Depth of the Space Frame with
continuous supporting wall is less than
conventional 2D truss systems;
