Abstract:

The authors propose a Tama-Sudare Frame as a new type of structural system that can attain a flexible configuration. This frame consists only of thin bars (main members), tension rods and pin joints, just like the sticks, threads and knots of Tama-Sudare, a tool used for traditional Japanese performance.

Tama-Sudare Frames complement one another and can form a huge space like the roof structure of stadium. Moreover, single frames made of repetitions of several types of small members facilitate construction and transportation. Tama-Sudare Frames can create structures of various scales not only stadiums by changing the member size.
