A space frame is a structural system, assembled of linear elements so arranged that the loads are transferred in a three dimensional manner. In some situations, the constituent elements may be two-dimensional. A space frame often takes the shape of a flat or a curved surface which can coverts into stadium roofs, storage sheds, airport sheds and so on.
Space frames usually utilize a multi directional span and are often used to accomplish long span with few supports. They drive their strength from the inherent rigidity of the triangular frame, flexing loads are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each struts.
Space frames are an increasingly common architectural technique especially for long roof spans in modernist commercial and industrial buildings in which Sports stadium roof is one of the widest applications of space frame. Flat space frames have been typically used as a roof system.
