Space frame , space structure and geodesic domesNarendra Shah
our presentation will provide information about space frame , space structures and geodesic domes, these technology used to cover large/long span shed, beautification of buildings.
a space frame or space structure is a rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior support
Shell structure, In building construction, a thin, curved plate structure shaped to transmit applied forces by compressive, tensile, and shear stresses that act in the plane of the surface.

In post-tension, the concrete units are first cast by incorporating ducts or grooves to house the tendons .when the concrete attains sufficient strength, the high-tensile wires are tensioned by means of jack bearing on the end face of the member and anchored by wedges or nuts.

How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.

In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2. •The term tensile structures describes the category of buildings in which the load bearing capacity is
achieved through tension stress in the majority of the components, such as cables, technical fabrics
or foils.
•It can also be defined as a structure where the exterior shell is a fabric material spread over a
framework. The fabric is maintained in tension in all directions to provide stability.
•The only exception is represented by rigid boundaries and structural members which are generally
subjected to compression and bending.
•Tension structures are commonly subdivided in boundary tensioned membranes, pneumatic
structures and pre-stressed cable nets and beams (Lewis 2003).

• FABRIC STRUCTURES CANNOTTAKE HEAVY WEATHER CONDITIONS IS AN
INCORRECT STATEMENT.
• FABRIC IS ELASTIC AND STRETCHES. Fabric has a strong tensile strength and
will creep (stretch very slightly) only a few percent over 20 years of use.
Common Misconceptions
4. •Tensile fabric structures have been with us since the Mongolians swept down from the plains,
with their yurts as their transportable overnight accommodation.
•And there’s evidence that the Romans even covered the Colosseum with massive canopies,
hoisted by an intricate system of pulleys, to protect the audience from the elements.
•But they really came into their own in the last half of the 20th century, when designs like this by
Germany’s Frei Otto.
History

5. Why tensile are the shape they are?
•Large flat pieces of fabric are very poor at resisting loads.
•Imagine four of you each pulling on the strings laced through a tennis ball. Fig 1. A fifth person
pushing down on the ball can deflect it easily.
•Imagine a flappy marquee roof.Try lifting two opposite strings and lowering the other two. Fig 2.
The ball is now locked in space. Apply this principle to fabric and you have created ‘anticlastic’
double curvature

stretched between a set of alternating high and low points
Saddle Roof
The roof plan, taken directly from the structural engineering
working drawings, illustrates the roof configuration and its
components.
The saddle-shaped roof of the stage cover nestles under the
auditorium roof of the project.The leaningA-frames and the
stay cables which hold them back are clearly visible, along with
the radial cables which shape the tent units.The corner tripods,
each consisting of a vertical mast and two sloping cables, are
connected to concrete anchors rising from the water.

under the auditorium roof.
8. •Tent-like in appearance, mast supported structures
typically have one or sometimes several peaks that are
supported by either interior or perimeter masts.
•The fabric is attached to the interior mast by special connections, usually a bale ring or cable loop.
•Mast-supported structures can also be supported by adjacent buildings. The peaks of a mast
supported structure are determined by the design and how the fabric is attached.
•Openings are typically ovoid or elliptical. The fabric that
extends from the top of the opening is seamed and
can necessitate patterning.
•Mast supported systems are suitable for long span roofs.

9. •Curved compression members are used as the main
supporting elements and cross arches are used for lateral
stability.
•In a plane arch, large differences between the thrust lines and the main geometry will produce
large bending moments that in turn produce large changes in shape and high stresses in the arch
chord section. One method to significantly reduce these effects is to tie or restrain points along
the arch chord to reduce the initial large deformations of the chord
•The buckling length of the arch chord can also be reduced by discretely or continuously
supporting the chord with tension elements or systems comprised of cables or membranes.

ergonomic constraints.
13. Components
Connection to concrete foundation pillar
•BASE PLATE
•MEMBRANES
Forms the enclosure of the structure. Connections can be
glued or heat welded
Provide a link between the membrane and structural
elements..
•Bale rings are used at the top of conical shapes.
•Membrane plates accept centenary cables and pin
connection hardware.
•BALE RING/ MEMBRANE PLATE
• PVC coated polyester (polyvinylchloride)
• Silicon coated glass
• Teflon coated glass P.T.F.E (polytetrafluroethylene)
•TYPES OF FABRIC MEMBRANE
PVC : Less expensive
15 to 20 year life span
Easy to erect
SILICONGLASS: Higher tensile strength
Brittle, subject to damage from flexing
30+ year life span
TEFLONGLASS: Similar to silicon
glass, less brittle.
14. Specialized Hardware

Centenary cables at a side connection

plate and centenary cablesTensioner
15. CABLE CLAMPS
Edge cable with clamps. Used mainly for PTFE-
coated fiber glass fabric , but also for PVC-
coated poly ester fabric when edge spans
are longer than 20 m.
16. Bale rings are a good way to contro l stresses in fabric ro of at
high or low po ints. Used at high points they must be covered to
make the struc ture watertight. If used at low po ints, they can be
used to gather rainwater and sno w for redistributio n on site.
Channel (with grommets) and lacing. Used with PVC-
coated polyester fabric where the edge has grommets spaced
at frequent intervals.
Rope is laced thro ugh the grommets and to a tie rod within the
channel.

18. •Longer life cycles of materials.
•Materials can be re-used in form.
•Most materials are completely recyclable.
•Less impact on site.
•Less construction debris after demolition.
• Unique designs
• Lightweight and flexible
• Environmentally sensitive
• High strength weight ratio
Advantages Disadvantages
• Little to no rigidity
• Loss of tension is dangerous for stability
•Thermal values limit use
21. WORKSHOP MODEL
• This model consists of thin stretchable white stalkins which is connected to four
sides.
• The two sides of the cloths were supported by stick and tied with thread to give a
desired height.
• The other two sides were fixed with pins on the base of the model.
