ABSTRACT
A growing interest in space frame structures has been witnessed worldwide over the last half-century.
The search for new structural forms to accommodate large unobstructed areas has always been the main
objective of architects and engineers. With the advent of new building techniques and construction
materials, space frames frequently provide the right answer and satisfy the requirements for lightness,
economy, and speedy construction. Significant progress has been made in the process of development of
space frame. A large amount of theoretical and experimental research programs were carried out by
many universities and research institutions in various countries. As a result, a great deal of useful
information has been disseminated, and fruitful results have been put into practice.
