Hi all
Please find the attached file.
My friend showed me this model. So, I thought it deserves some thoughts. In your opinion, what would be the best structural system for this model?
As shown, the lower triangles are isosceles triangles with 7cm equal sides (corresponding to 7m) and the upper triangles are isosceles triangles with 10cm equal sides (corresponding to 10m).
My first thought is that the lower triangles modelled as cantilever plates supporting one edge of the upper triangle and the apex of the upper triangle supported by the central column. This is for vertical loading.
What about lateral loading?
Your thoughts are highly appreciated.
