Modern Lightweight Structures
Aim of this paper is to show modern lightweight structures based on tensegrity systems. Principles of tensegrity structures and cable domes are shown. Last part of this paper is demonstrated how to join simple tensegrity prisms to tensegrity slabs. These structures are very interesting from architectonical point of view, they are made from fully recyclable material – steel and consumption of material is very low. Tensegrity structures have a great potential of the development of modern civil engineering.
