 Introduction and Acknowledgement
In the studio Deployable Structures S-2022 the excursion began with contextual analysis of a deployable articles
and investigating joint subtleties, materials and systems to permit development in the construction.

After midterm audit, plan issue was presented what begun with interaction of planning and afterward approve the
construction in STAAD, alongside planning each little things(each joint and part). Then complete arrangement of
drawings was ready, renders and 3d for subtleties. The studio was well arranged, all around organized and
smooth going.

I might want to communicate my extraordinary thanks and appreciation to Prof.Anand Vishwanathn and
Prof.Japan Shah for giving me opportunity to communicate my ability in this studio and for directing me well all
through the semester beginning from planning to STAAD investigation.

Due the somewhat disconnected semester I got opportunity to learn new programming projects like Rhinoceros
3D, Lumion, STAAD and gotto investigate more in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop. Because of showing aides
Umang Lapsiwala and Priyanka Baghel for their direction connected with programming projects.

At last, I might want to thank every one of my companions and relatives for consistent wellspring of motivation and
consolation in this semester.

UNDEPLOYED STAGE
Clam is a common name for several
kinds of bivalve molluscs. The word is
often applied only to those that are edible
and live as infauna, spending most of
their lives halfway buried in the sand of
the seafloor or riverbeds. Clams have
two shells of equal size connected by two
adductor muscles and have a powerful
burrowing foot. They live in both
freshwater and marine environments; in
salt water they prefer to burrow down
into the mud and the turbidity of the
water required varies with species and
location; the greatest diversity of these is
in North America.
Clam-Seashell
DEPLOYED STAGE
A clam's shell consists of two (usually
equal) valves, which are connected by a
hinge joint and a ligament that can be
external or internal. The ligament
provides tension to bring the valves
apart, while one or two adductor muscles
can contract to close the valves. Clams
also have kidneys, a heart, a mouth, a
stomach, and a nervous system.

Screws are often self-threading (also known as
self-tapping) where the thread cuts into the material
when the screw is turned, creating an internal thread
that helps pull fasten materials together and prevents
pull-out

Process of manufacturing of Screw
1. Wire - Uncoiled, straightened and cut to length.
2. Cold forging - Molding the steel into the right
shape at room temperature.
3. Bolt head - Progressively formed by forcing the 3
steel into various dies at high pressure.
4. Threading - Threads are formed by rolling or
cutting. 1 2
5. Heat treatment - The bolt is exposed to extreme
heat to harden steel.
6. Surface treatment - It depends on the application.
Zinc-plating is common to increase corrosion
resistance.
7. Packing/stocking - After quality control to ensure
uniformity and consistency, the bolts are
packaged.

Types of materials used in Screws
● Steel: This is by far the most common material used for manufacturing screws, and
there’s a simple explanation for why — steel is less expensive than some other
screw material options.
● Copper: Copper screws are good for fighting against corrosion. If a screw is going
to be exposed to the elements, copper helps to ensure the screw performs durably
over the long-term.
● Aluminum: Aluminum isn’t as durable as other materials, but it does have one thing
going for it — its weight. Aluminum is just about the lightest weight fastener you can
find.
● Titanium: When you need a blend of strength and lightness, go with titanium. You’ll
often pay a premium for titanium screws, but that extra cost pays off big time when
you need a fastener that is robust but doesn’t weigh much.

SCISSOR
MECHANISM
A scissor lift (jack) or mechanism is device
used to extend or position a platform by
mechanical means. The terms “Scissor”
comes from the mechanism utilized which is
configured with linked, folding supports in a
crisscross ‘X’ pattern.

PROBLEM-

The Tridi
1D to 3D
The Tridi
The Tridi is a fixed Deployable shelter that is
proposed to be installed near the FT building.
This shelter is designed for the sole purpose to
shield from the sun’s rays and to increase the
usage of the space surrounding it. It tends to
deploy whenever shade is required and
undeploys when it is not in use.The side
members of this shelter deploy from the
hydraulics in an upward direction and the other
members deploy in an outward direction from
the main frame. The main frame holds the
PTFE fabric inside which deploys outwards
and due to its property of resisting high
temperatures; provides shade beneath it.
