Does anyone have any paper/code/reference/guidance to design these tyoe of structure ? And is there any easy and fase way to model this structure using SAP ?
Thank you for your help.

I am not sure that the attached picture is what you intended to post. It is very complex and no information is given regarding scale. If there are several structures involved, please provide a picture of a representative one with some scale given for clarity.
 
There's whole engineering firms that specialize in this type structure. If your boss isn't an expert on this, he/she shouldn't be giving the work to you.
