Helical structural framework with torsional integrity
A helical structural framework includes an assembly of at least one pair of linear members to which a torsional force has been applied such that each member has a helical form and is under elastic tension, the torsional force of a first member of the pair being equal to but in the opposite direction to the torsional force of the second member of the pair. The members are locked in position by spacers in at least two places along their length, so that the resultant three-dimensional diagrid has independent structural integrity. The helical members may be connected to at least one circular connection plate which may have recesses to receive the helical members. At least two connecting plates may have different diameters. The framework may form a vertical cylindrical structure or may form a conical structure. The framework may have a single helical pitch.
