Support structure

A support structure is constituted by a plurality of support units (U) joined together end-to-end. Each support structure (U) is constituted by at least three compression members (11) each having first and second end portions. The first end portions of each pair of adjacent compression members (11)...

Zusammenfassung:A support structure is constituted by a plurality of support units (U) joined together end-to-end. Each support structure (U) is constituted by at least three compression members (11) each having first and second end portions. The first end portions of each pair of adjacent compression members (11) of each support unit are interconnected by a respective tensioned tension member (12), and the second end portions of each pair of adjacent compression members of each support unit are interconnected by a respective tensioned member (12). The first end portion of each compression member (11) of a given support unit (U) is connected to the second end portion of a adjacent compression member of that support unit and to the first end portion of a compression member of the support unit adjacent to the second end portion of said given support unit by a respective further tensioned tension member (14), the further tensioned tension members constituting the means for joining the support units end-to-end.
