| Title of the article | Geometric and structural features of hyperboloid structures |
| Abstract. | Since the XXth century till present, in architecture and construction hyperbolic surfaces have been often used. Hyperbolic surfaces are surfaces which have an infinite number of sections forming the hyperbole. Humanity has accumulated rich experience in the use of these surfaces as basic formation of the entire structure and its individual parts. Rationality of design based on hyperbolic surfaces was proved long ago, and in this regard one can see how often they are used in the coatings of individual and large span structures. On the basis of the one-sheet hyperboloid tent structures are built, such as the Khan Shatyr in Astana, high-rise buildings of various types – television towers, such as in Guangzhou, China. Hyperboloids have a potential to be used as a spatial coverings. This is hanging membrane kind of structures, coverings of sports facilities (the ice rink Saddledome in Calgary, Canada), public buildings (the airport in St. Louis, the USA). |
