TRUSSES OF TENSEGRITY TYPE IN A CONCEPT OF TRAIN STATION RENOVATION IN ŻARY
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 18
Abstract
The first railway station in Żary was built in 1843 in Germany. After the Second World War and years of socialism in Poland the meaning of railway decreased and its technical condition deteriorated. Now the building needs renovation and change of function. Tensegrity structures may be useful in renovation of platforms shelter. They are strut and tie construction, in which there is self-stabilization between compressed and tensioned elements. Conception of new platform shelter is based on exemplary tensegrity module consist of three struts and nine cables (called „Simplex”). Tensegrity would make railway station more modern, but not cover its original elevation.
