Bulk active systems Vector active systems Surface active Form active systems
rigid, solid, linear short, solid, straight systems
flexible, non-rigid
elements, in which linear members, in flexible or rigid matter, in which the
redirection of forces which the redirection planes able to resist redirection of forces is
is effected through of forces is effected tension, compression effected by particular
the bulk and by vector partition, or shear, in which the form design and
continuity of its i.e. by multi- redirection of forces characteristic form
material directional splitting of is effected by stabilization.
Example of single force simply to mobilization of
structures: tension or Example of structures:
sectional forces
Beam structures compressive Example of Cable structures
Frame structures elements structures: Tent structures
Slab structures Example of structures: Folded
Flat trusses Plate Pneumatic
Curved trusses structures structures
Space trusses Shell structures
Arch structures
