This invention relates to a self-supporting three-dimensional prestressed structure, as well as a method and a device for erecting same, to be employed in the construction of residential and nonresidential buildings. The structure is constructed of vertical form-defining flexible rodlike members (1) stressed during the construction of the structure, as well as horizontal flexible rodlike members (2) each forming a closed curve. The horizontal members (2) are also stressed during construction and welded or rigidly affixed by other means to the vertical form-defining members (1). Instead of horizontal circular members (2) the structure can be constructed completely or to some extent using a spiral member, also stressed during the construction of the structure that is rigidly affixed to the vertical form-defining flexible members (1).
A device for construction of self-supporting three-dimensional prestressed structure comprising a number of symmetrically and radially positioned telescopic arms (4) each hinged to a circle (5) positioned at the center of the device, wherein at the tip of each telescopic arm (4) a guide block holds a corresponding vertical member (1), wherein the telescopic arms remain hinged to the device at a base area of the structure, wherein the guide block comprises two parallel plates (7) fixed to the telescopic arms (4), and wherein between said plates (7) are installed in sequence grooved rollers (8), with an opening between two rollers (8) being at least equal to the cross-sectional diameter of the vertical member to be held between the two rollers.
A method for construction of self-supporting three-dimensional prestressed structures comprising:
