The use of polyhedra for Building Structures

Abstract

Prévoyant utiliser le polyèdre uniforme comme élément de base dans les Systèmes de construction standard, le Building Technology Research Group, à Delft, a jugé nécessaire d’étudier dans le détail les propriétés métriques de ces polyèdres. Le groupe s’est servi des techniques des sciences de I’ordinateur. On trouve parmi les applications des exemples d’abris provisoires. Des formes pyramidales, des antiprismes juxtaposés et des éléments fermés de tétraèdres ont été utilisés pour les toits, voûtes, et surfaces d’amortissement du bruit.

Planning to use uniform polyhedra as elementary units in standardized construction systems, the Building Technology Research Group in Delft has found it necessary to study the metric properties of these polyhedra in detail. Computer graphics techniques were employed. Applications include emergency housing kits. Pyramidal forms, juxtaposed antiprisms and closed tetrahedral elements have been adapted to roofing, vaults, and sound-damping surfaces.
