BAR-TYPE SUPPORTING STRUCTURE FOR FORMING A FRAME, COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF NODES AND BARS CONNECTING THE NODES

摘要

A structure e.g. a building has a steel-reinforced concrete frame consisting of corner nodes (1) linked to the next corner node by side extensions (2, 3, 4) to interlocking (20) transverse and upright struts (11). Each transverse or vertical member (10) has two flat outer surfaces (14, 15) and two concave surfaces (X1, X2). The faces (11a) on the corner units (1) have profiles that represent a seamless transition to those of the transverse units.
