In architecture and structural engineering, a space frame or space structure is a truss-like, lightweight rigid structure constructed from interlocking

struts in
ageometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior supports. Like the truss, a space frame is strong because of the inherent rigidity of the
triangle; flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each strut.

If a force is applied to the blue node, and the red bar is not present, the behaviour of the structure depends completely on the bending rigidity of
the blue node. If the red bar is present, and the bending rigidity of the blue node is negligible compared to the contributing rigidity of the red bar,
the system can be calculated using a rigidity matrix, neglecting angular factors.

Types
Curvature classification

 Space plane covers. These spatial structures are composed of planar substructures. Their behavior is similar to that of a plate in which the deflections in the plane
are channeled through the horizontal bars and the shear forces are supported by the diagonals.[3]

This train station is supported by a barrel vaults structure.

 Barrel vaults. This type of vault has a cross section of a simple arch. Usually this type of space frame does not need to use tetrahedral modules or pyramids as a
part of its backing.

 Spherical domes and other compound curves usually require the use of tetrahedral modules or pyramids and additional support from a skin.

Classification by the arrangement of its elements

 Single layer grid. All elements are located on the surface to be approximated.

 Double layer grid. The elements are organized in two layers parallel to each other at a certain distance apart. Each of the layers form a lattice of triangles, squares
or hexagons in which the projection of the nodes in a layer may overlap or be displaced relative to each other. Diagonal bars connect the nodes of both layers in
different directions in space. In this type of meshes, the elements are associated into three groups: upper cordon, cordon and cordon lower diagonal.

 Triple layer grid. Elements are placed in three parallel layers, linked by the diagonals. They are almo
