Abstract
The present invention proposes a novel construction system consisting of the attachment of modified hyperboloid shaped-structural elements called “laminate cells” which, when working together, create a structural system with integrated cover having the capacity of absorbing and transmitting stresses in all directions and orientations.
Claims9
A construction system forming a covered structured, the construction system comprising:
- at least two laminate cells attached together to absorb and transmit stresses in a plurality of directions and orientation, wherein each of the laminate cells comprises:
- a hollow main body having top edges at a top end, bottom edges at a bottom end, and a substantially hyperboloid shaped thin wall that projects between the top edges and the bottom edges, wherein at least one of the top edges and at least one of the bottom edges connect to respective top and bottom edges of another of the laminate cells to enable the laminate cells to absorb and transmit stresses in the plurality of directions and orientations;
- and
- a pair of hyperbolic caps including a top cap and a bottom cap, wherein the top cap covers the top end and the bottom cap covers the bottom end, wherein each of the hyperbolic caps define one or more crosshead bends located transversally across a width of one of the corresponding hyperbolic cap, wherein the one or more crosshead bends increase resistance in the plurality of directions and orientation.
