CONCLUSION

The experiment is to prove experimental and theoretical have a small relative value. Space frames usually utilize a multidirectional span, and are often used to accomplish long spans with few supports. They derive their strength from the inherent rigidity of the triangular frame; flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each structure. In many ways this looks like the horizontal jib of a tower crane repeated many times to make it wider. A stronger purer form is composed of interlocking tetrahedral pyramids in which all the struts have unit length. More technically this is referred to as anisotropic vector matrix or in a single unit width an octet truss.

For the conclusion , the experiment for the theoretical and experimental result value is different. The different is the result of theoretical result is more than experimental result. The reason of discrepancy in the results maybe cause by the spring that used was not elastic anymore after being stretched for many time of doing experiment, it might have a mistake during taking the results. Besides that, it maybe cause by the error of the apparatus which is not in good condition. From this experiment , the objective of this experiment are archive because the member force can obtain with tension coefficient method.
