Vector Active Structure System

Vector active structure systems are composed of straight linear members where forces are redirected through multi-directional splitting into compressive and tensile elements. They use short, solid members connected at joints to partition forces through tension and compression. Common examples of vector active structure systems include flat trusses, curved trusses, and space truss structures.

STRUCTURE SYSTEM
VECTOR ACTIVE SYSTEM

• Vector active structure systems


are systems of straight linear
members, in which the redirection
of forces is effected by multi
directional splitting of forces into
vectors along compressive and
tensile elements.

• Vector active structure systems


are short, solid, straight lineal
members(bars), in which the
redirection of forces is effected by
VECTOR partition, i.e., by multi
directional splitting of single
forces (compressive or tensile
bars).
STRUCTURE SYSTEMS
• FORM ACTIVE SYSTEM
• VECTOR ACTIVE SYSTEM
-FLAT TRUSSES
-CURVED TRUSSES
-SPACE TRUSS
• BULK ACTIVE SYSTEM
• SURFACE ACTIVE SYSTEM
• VERTICAL STRUCTURE SYSTEM
FLAT TRUSSES
• All members and nodes
lie within a 2D plane
consists of straight
members connected at
joints. No member is
continuous through a
joint.

• When forces tend to pull


the member apart, its in
tension and when it
compresses it is in
compression.
APPLICATION
• In Buildings , to support • In road and rail bridges ,
roofs and floors , to span for short and
large distances and carry intermediate spans and
relatively light loads. in footbridges.
CURVED TRUSSES
• Curved trusses are trusses which are
used to give a particular form to the
building.

• The material mostly used is steel for


such construction.

• The form is not organic but is in


sections.
SPACE FRAME TRUSS
• Space frame truss is a 3D framework of members pinned at
their ends. A tetrahedron shape is the simplest space truss,
consisting of 6 members which meet at 4 joints. Large planar
structures may be composed from tetrahedrons with
common edges and they are also employed in the base
structures of large free-standing power line pylons.
