Method for constructing load-bearing frames using gridshells and a building structure for its implementation

Abstract

A load-bearing frame of a building based on a gridshell designed for bearing weight and external loads from detached compartments for various purposes. The main structural elements of the gridshell are designed in such a way that they can be used in fastening detached compartments or to ensure the separate position of these compartments. It is assumed that with the use of the gridshell there will be no need in continuous covering.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of constructing a gridshell comprising the use of main structural elements of the gridshell which are designed for bearing load from detached compartments by means of provided mounts. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein rods and mounts are to be used as the main structural elements of the gridshell. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gridshell is to be constructed from prefabricated structural elements. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein at least one main structural element of the gridshell is to be used for fastening one detached compartment. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the combination of at least two elementary cells of the gridshell is to be selected as the place for fastening one detached compartment. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein a part of the main structural elements of the gridshell is to be used for fastening detached compartments and a part is left free from fastening these compartments, thus ensuring their separate position. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein mounts for fastening detached compartments is to be also provided on those main structural elements which are left free from the fastening of detached compartments. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gridshell is to be constructed in the form of a dome. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gridshell is to be constructed in the form of a full sphere. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gridshell is to be constructed in the form of a single-cavity hyperboloid of revolution, or a combination of at least two single-cavity hyperboloids of revolution representing a tower structure. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gridshell is to be constructed in the form of a complex amorphous structure. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the gridshell is to be constructed as a combination of at least two of its types. 
     
     
         13 . A gridshell comprising main structural elements intended for integration of detached compartments with the gridshell, depending on the integration scheme, the main structural elements are used either for fastening the detached compartments or for providing a separate position of these compartments. 
     
     
         14 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein the integration scheme is determined at the design stage of the gridshell. 
     
     
         15 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein the scheme of integration of the detached compartments may be changed at any stage of construction and operation of the gridshell. 
     
     
         16 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein the main structural elements of the gridshell are the rods and mounts. 
     
     
         17 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein at least one main structural element can be used for fastening one detached compartment. 
     
     
         18 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein at least two different main structural elements can be used for fastening one detached compartment. 
     
     
         19 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein the separate position of the detached compartments is ensured by an aggregate of main structural elements forming an area of the gridshell adjacent to the place or places where the detached compartments are fastened. 
     
     
         20 . The gridshell of  claim 13 , wherein the main structural elements used as mounts for fastening the detached compartments and for ensuring their separate position are of the same design.
