Major Project

The nodal connection seen here is an integral part of the space
frame design; each arm comes into one center point and is
attached to that object. This allows all loads to be transferred
evenly. I will be using a similar type of connection in my design.
This nodal connection conceals all nuts and bolts on the inside of
the sphere thus creating a seamless and neat appearance.

This drawing will be able to be used and adapted to devise a
connection between the space frame and the pre-cast concrete
wall. The steel plate could either be set into the wall or
bolted to it.
