Spatial rigid frame combined by regular polyhedrons
The invention discloses a spatial rigid frame combined by regular polyhedrons comprising a truncated octahedron, a cuboctahedron and a truncated tetrahedron. A square surface of the cuboctahedron fits to a square surface of the truncated octahedron; a regular hexagonal surface of the truncated octahedron fits to a regular hexagonal surface of the truncated tetrahedron; a regular triangular surface of the truncated octahedron fits to a regular triangular surface of the cuboctahedron; and a basic unit is formed by fitting the truncated octahedron, the cuboctahedron and the truncated tetrahedron to each other. An array is formed by the basic unit along three orthogonal directions. An array rotating body is formed by rotating a spatial array around any spatial axis by any angle, thereby cutting out a building space based on boundary ridges of a building. A spatial rod system structure is formed concurrently by the finally formed ridges and the ridges of the truncated octahedron, the ridges of the cuboctahedron, and the ridges of the truncated tetrahedron. The spatial rigid frame combined by the regular polyhedrons is strong in anti-seismic property, high in repeatability, small in building difficulty, substantially short in both the working hour and the construction period, accordingly the spatial rigid frame combined by the regular polyhedrons can be applied to spatial structure buildings of small and medium spans.
