Engineering considerations
Space-frame systems can cover large areas and create lightweight three-dimensional forms. Japatak’s work in this field focuses on structural design, geometry development, connection design, and preparation of fabrication and installation drawings. The exact scope is agreed after reviewing each brief.
Typical deliverables
- Design basis and acceptance criteria
- Coordinated geometric model
- Structural analysis and design report
- Node and connection details
- Fabrication and erection drawings; material schedules
