Abstract

AbstractIn the recent years, the construction industry is focussing to develop a steel and composite structures than the concrete buildings owing to the advantage of ease and speedy construction, effective utilization of materials, lightweight and strength, etc. In modern construction, the space frames were used for industrial structures without intermediate columns and for aesthetic appearance. In practical, the space frame structures were normally used for roof covering than the floor slab. The space truss having concrete slab above the space grid with proper connection mechanism between the grid and concrete will be used as deck floor for occupants in the multistorey building. This paper explains the studies done on the space truss structures both experimentally and analytically during previous years. The parameters which affect the strength and overall stability of the space truss structures were highlighted in this paper. The double-layer grid can be used as the floor slab; discussion was also made in this review paper.KeywordsDouble-layer gridMero connectorShear connectorComposite space trussRoof systemFloor system
