CONSTRUCTION METHODS

Construction MethodsThe modern framing construction methods rely on large and heavy material such as

steel and

concrete

To handle them, modern construction methods are completely dependent on heavy equipments

and various others

to lift and to secure framing members in places.

For modern construction, modern roads are needed for transporting

heavy equipments

and materials.

In developing areas where there are no modern roads, first, they have to be built using heavy equipments and professional workers.

For modern construction practices, skill workers are a must

as well as scaffoldings. Preparation works such as these take time for construction.

Also, the typical buildings with two force member framing systems such as column-and-beam

that requires to be pinned at both ends

need to be encased with finishing materials.

Buildings using wall-construction method

needs finishing materials.

Another form of construction method is the use of trusses.

For construction of large structures such as bridges, trusses are greatly used.

Trusses are also used for spanning long distance such as roof which provides large space with columns far apart.

One such truss system creating large expanse of space is called spaceframe.

Spaceframe consist of placing together pyramid shapes side by side and interchanging their square bases at top and bottom.

Trusses are also used as girders (beams).

and columns.

Use of truss systems allows cantilever construction method which eliminates the need of scaffolding.

Terraced structured land or TSL is composed of trusses.

The surface on which spaces are erected is spaceframe

The girders that support spaceframe are integral part of the spaceframe

where another pyramid is placed on the bottom of the perimeter to form a row of a modular shaped as such.

The columns are also trusses.

Unlike the truss constructions of past where large members require heavy equipments for their placements,

TSL framing members (white for spaceframe, blue and red for girders and green for columns) are all assembled manually.

Where past cantilever constructions based their frames on truss utilization,

the present framings utilize various other systems.

For terraced structured land construction system, there is no substitute for trusses.

With the intellectual property joint for TSL, various truss framings are use for construction

of Terraced Structured Land.

The length and weight of the framing members for all the trusses which form platforms, girders and columns are short and light for easy handling by a person.

All framing members are steel pipes with hollow steel sections subject mainly to tension and compression forces with very minor bending.

OBJECTIVE OF TRUSS

What is the objective of truss? The purpose is to fabricate long, strong and/or light framing members such as

columns

and girders

with smaller materials to form triangles in sequences.

The terraced structured land is constructed by forming various size and shaped triangles placed continuously for columns, girders and platforms.

These trusses can be assembled at site manually without the need of

equipments and

skilled workers.

The TSL framing system and construction methods are developed so it can be built without

modern road networks

various equipments

and professional workers.

Common people without skill wanting to work

can erect numerous TSL bays simultaneously

with hand tools

providing employment opportunities to many people and

creating compact cities.

We cannot continue with the 20th century construction and development practices of continually increasing the human footprint.

The 21st century construction of TSLs

TSL Computer Graphics by Mark Eakle

will reduce the human footprint,

All photo images are owned by respective rights owners

begin to reverse the climatic problems,

environmental problems and

All photo images are owned by respective rights owners

improve the quality-of-living standards to all the people.

In all development areas, TSL will bring forth 21st century cities and lifestyles that will

reduce the human footprint and return much of the human occupied land back to nature so all other lives can continue.
