An arched spaceframe can also be constructed so that its outer grid layer is staggered |
|||||||||
|
relative to its inner grid like a conventional planar spaceframe. Four examples are |
|||||||||
|
shown here. In each case the unit cell is unstable but the cylinder built from it is stable |
|||||||||
|
and conforms to the equation M = 3 J. |
