Abstract
MORALES-GUZMAN, Carlos César. Experimental Articulated Node Designs for Folding Roof Systems. Rev. Arquit. (Bogotá) [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.106-114. Epub Sep 07, 2022. ISSN 1657-0308. https://doi.org/10.14718/revarq.2022.24.1.4188.
The present research focuses on the design of an articulated node, based on the constructive test of Dr. Félix Escrig, who provided the constructive concepts to generate a proposal that aims to develop faster-folding systems, for which a series of prototypes were built to verify and validate the different constructive scopes that could generate a transformable structural system. This justified the simulation of the models with Solid Work software that validated said folding structures and helped us to verify the construction models, which validated such foldable structural connections and helped us to verify the constructive models, which is the purpose of this research. Consequently, such proposals were approached with the purpose of designing the industrial connection details by means of Cad Computer-aided-Design (CAD), since the software in its package has the capacity to develop experimental prototypes and perform the details with better results for the constructive connections and thus follow a more optimal industrial phase for the models.
