Abstract

The aim is to provide a construction system for the construction of roofs, facades or structural members based on a type of structural profile which makes it possible to construct free shapes (curves in two or three dimensions not restricted to pure domes or arches) which can be standardized at the time of manufacture. The said section will have the ability to be curved and will therefore have a multiplicity of shapes. The method for this subsequent shaping, both during installation on site and in possible reconfigurations of the shape of the already built structure, is mainly based on the elastic properties of the material forming its flanges and the ability to change the elongation of the connecting elements between the flanges of the section.

Description

Sistema constructivo, procedimiento para su puesta en forma, y perfil estructural para un sistema constructivo.Construction system, procedure for putting it in shape, and structural profile for a construction system.
La invención se encuadra en el sector técnico de Ia construcción, más concretamente en Io relativo a Ia construcción de estructuras autoportantes para Ia construcción con capacidad para adoptar diferentes formas; se trata de un sistema constructivo estructural a base de un perfil estandarizado con capacidad estructural y para el cambio de forma que permite Ia construcción de formas curvas geométricamente complejas basándose enThe invention falls within the technical sector of construction, more specifically in what relates to the construction of self-supporting structures for construction with the capacity to adopt different forms; It is a structural construction system based on a standardized profile with structural capacity and for the change of shape that allows the construction of geometrically complex curved shapes based on
Ia capacidad de deformación elástica de los materiales que conforman las alas de dicho perfil y el cambio de elongación de sus elementos de conexión.The elastic deformation capacity of the materials that make up the wings of said profile and the change in elongation of its connecting elements.
En el estado de Ia técnica actual, dentro de Ia producción de sistemas estructurales para Ia construcción, tienen especial relevancia los sistemas que funcionan a partir de elementos más o menos estandarizados que permiten su elaboración seriada en fábrica. Esto permite Ia reducción de costes en cuanto a puesta en obra, así como de detalle y especificación de proyecto. Muchos de estos sistemas estructurales tienen que ver con Ia elaboración de elementos prefabricados a base de materiales considerados rígidos (hormigón armado o acero) que se ensamblan en obra de una u otra manera en obra. Las posibilidades geométricas de estos métodos están restringidas a las que se derivan de su ensamblaje. En estos casos, generalmente el espectro de posibilidad de formas a construir depende del diseño de piezas y/o juntas especiales, y/o del diseño de juntas mecánicas entre los elementos que encarecen Ia producción y pueden dar problemas de mantenimiento. Un sistema estructural autoportante de mucha menor repercusión a nivel de Ia comercialización de su uso es Ia "grid shell" (estructura de cascarón a base de una parrilla). Este método introduce Ia posibilidad de realizar superficies curvas siempre que Ia geometría final se acabe comportando globalmente como un arco o cúpula. Se trata de una parrilla de barras con capacidad para Ia deformación elástica que se cruzan unas con otras sin interrumpirse y que se unen en estos cruces mediante uniones tipo tijera. La parrilla se tensa globalmente y se pone así en forma desde su posición plana en el momento de Ia ejecución de Ia obra. Así pues, este método tiene como característica que permite Ia construcción de formas curvas gracias por un lado a Ia elasticidad del material utilizado, y por otro a Ia diferente deformación angular entre las barras de Ia retícula. La problemática de este sistema radica en que: 1- Estructuralmente el artefacto o edificio acabado se comporta como una membrana, es decir : - Su capacidad estructural radica casi exclusivamente en Ia forma geométrica global de Ia estructura, ya que no tiene suficiente inercia en su sección y por Io tanto no tiene apenas resistencia a flexión. Es decir el rango de superficies curvas que con Ia "grid shell" se pueden construir está limitado a Ia construcción de cúpulas puras.In the current state of the art, within the production of structural systems for construction, systems that work from more or less standardized elements that allow their serial production in the factory have special relevance. This allows the reduction of costs in terms of commissioning, as well as detail and project specification. Many of these structural systems have to do with the preparation of prefabricated elements based on materials considered rigid (reinforced concrete or steel) that are assembled on site in one way or another on site. The geometric possibilities of these methods are restricted to those derived from their assembly. In these cases, generally the spectrum of possibility of forms to be built depends on the design of parts and / or special joints, and / or the design of mechanical joints between the elements that make the production more expensive and can cause maintenance problems. A self-supporting structural system of much less impact at the level of the commercialization of its use is the "grid shell" (shell structure based on a grill). This method introduces the possibility of making curved surfaces whenever the final geometry ends up behaving globally as an arc or dome. It is a bar grill with capacity for elastic deformation that intersects with each other without interruption and that are joined at these crossings by means of scissor-type joints. The grid is tensioned globally and thus becomes fit from its flat position at the time of the execution of the work. Thus, this method has the characteristic that allows the construction of curved shapes thanks to the elasticity of the material used on the one hand, and on the other to the different angular deformation between the bars of the grid. The problem of this system is that: 1- Structurally, the finished artifact or building behaves like a membrane, that is: - Its structural capacity lies almost exclusively in the overall geometric shape of the structure, since it does not have enough inertia in its section and therefore has hardly any flexural strength. In other words, the range of curved surfaces that can be constructed with the "grid shell" is limited to the construction of pure domes.
- se comporta bien estructuralmente cuando se Ie somete a cargas uniformemente repartidas pero tiene problemas de resistencia a cargas puntuales o no uniformemente repartidas, (como cargas de nieve o viento) .- It behaves structurally well when subjected to uniformly distributed loads but has resistance problems to point or non-uniformly distributed loads (such as snow or wind loads).
2- El resultado formal final de Ia "grid shell" esta basado en una actuación a nivel global sobre Ia parrilla (las fuerzas para poner el sistema en forma son aplicadas sobre Ia totalidad de sus miembros-perfiles de forma global y continua). Esto comporta que las curvas generadas por el sistema tengan que ser también globales y continuas no pudiendo así Ia "grid shell" tener concavidades y convexidades en una misma superficie. Esto limita Ia capacidad formal de este sistema.2 - The final formal result of the "grid shell" is based on a global action on the grid (the forces to put the system in shape are applied to all of its members-profiles globally and continuously). This means that the curves generated by the system must also be global and continuous, so that the grid shell cannot have concavities and convexities on the same surface. This limits the formal capacity of this system.
El objetivo de Ia presente invención, es disponer de un sistema constructivo estructural autoportante con capacidad para adoptar diferentes formas y también capacidad para Ia resistencia local a flexión, que permita Ia construcción de formas libres (curvas en dos y tres dimensiones no restringidas a cúpulas o arcos puros) y que en el momento de su producción pueda ser estandarizado. Sería deseable que dicha estandarización no comportara, para permitir Ia variabilidad formal requerida, Ia necesidad de juntas complejas o mecánicas que pudieran generar costes como los mencionados anteriormente. Para ello Ia presente invención se centra en Ia posibilidad de producir un perfil estructural estandarizado -como componente básico del sistema estructural autoportante- con capacidad de curvarse y por Io tanto adoptar multiplicidad de formas. El método para esta posterior adaptación formal, tanto durante Ia puesta en obra como en posibles reconfiguraciones formales de Ia estructura ya construida, se basa principalmente en las propiedades elásticas del material que conforma sus alas y en Ia capacidad para el cambio de elongación de los elementos de conexión entre las alas del perfil (elementos "conectores-actuadores" descritos más adelante). El perfil estructural tiene capacidad para Ia resistencia local a flexión y capacidad para absorber cambios de signo en el diagrama de momentos a Io largo de un mismo perfil estructural. Estas características son importantes porque permiten que el sistema sea capaz de reproducir formas libres, es decir tener concavidades y convexidades a Io largo de un mismo perfil o de una misma superficie (en el caso del conjunto del sistema). De acuerdo con un primer aspecto, Ia invención se refiere a un sistema constructivo, que comprende una pluralidad de perfiles estructurales, caracterizado por el hecho de que al menos algunos de los perfiles comprenden por Io menos una tira o ala intermedia dispuesta entre dos tiras o alas extremas, todas ellas de un material con comportamiento elástico, estando las tres tiras del perfil vinculadas entre ellas a intervalos en algunos puntos de conexión mediante elementos de conexión de tal modo que en unos primeros puntos de conexión del perfil el ala intermedia se mantiene más separada de una primera ala extrema que de una segunda ala extrema, y en unos segundos puntos de conexión del perfil el ala intermedia se mantiene más separada de Ia segunda ala extrema que de Ia primera ala extrema.The objective of the present invention is to have a self-supporting structural construction system with the capacity to adopt different shapes and also the capacity for local flexural strength, which allows the construction of free shapes (curves in two and three dimensions not restricted to domes or pure arches) and that at the time of its production can be standardized. It would be desirable that said standardization does not, in order to allow the required formal variability, the need for complex or mechanical joints that could generate costs such as those mentioned above. For this, the present invention focuses on the possibility of producing a standardized structural profile - as a basic component of the self-supporting structural system - with the ability to bend and therefore adopt multiple forms. The method for this later formal adaptation, both during the commissioning and in possible formal reconfigurations of the structure already built, is mainly based on the elastic properties of the material that forms its wings and on the ability to change the elongation of the elements of connection between the wings of the profile (elements "connectors-actuators" described below). The structural profile has the capacity for local flexural strength and the ability to absorb sign changes in the moment diagram along the same structural profile. These characteristics are important because they allow the system to be able to reproduce free forms, that is, to have concavities and convexities along the same profile or the same surface (in the case of the system as a whole). According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a construction system, which comprises a plurality of structural profiles, characterized in that at least some of the profiles comprise at least one intermediate strip or wing disposed between two strips or extreme wings, all of them of a material with elastic behavior, the three strips of the profile being linked to each other at intervals at some connection points by means of connection elements such that in the first connection points of the profile the intermediate wing is maintained more separated from a first extreme wing than from a second extreme wing, and in a few second connection points of the profile the intermediate wing is kept more separated from the second extreme wing than from the first extreme wing.

En una realización, Ia distancia entre el ala intermedia y Ia segunda ala extrema en los primeros puntos de conexión del perfil, y Ia distancia entre el ala intermedia y Ia primera ala extrema en los segundos puntos de conexión del perfil son las mínimas requeridas por Ia geometría de las alas y los elementos de conexión presentes.In one embodiment, the distance between the intermediate wing and the second extreme wing at the first connection points of the profile, and the distance between the intermediate wing and the first extreme wing at the second connection points of the profile are the minimum required by the geometry of the wings and the connection elements present.
En una realización, los primeros puntos de conexión y los segundos puntos de conexión están alternados a Io largo del perfil.In one embodiment, the first connection points and the second connection points are alternated along the profile.
En una realización, al menos algunos de los elementos de conexión comprenden conectores-actuadores que pueden adoptar diferentes longitudes entre una longitud máxima y una longitud mínima, de modo que en al menos algunos puntos de conexión Ia separación entre el ala intermedia y una de las alas extremas es regulable.In one embodiment, at least some of the connecting elements comprise actuator connectors that can adopt different lengths between a maximum length and a minimum length, so that at least some connection points the separation between the intermediate wing and one of the Extreme wings is adjustable.
Los conectores pueden modificar así Ia distancia entre las alas que conectan, y por Io tanto el radio de curvatura en el tramo del perfil donde actúan. Gracias a Ia posibilidad de deformación elástica de las alas y a través del cambio de longitud de cada elemento "conector-actuador" respecto a sus dos inmediatamente vecinos, un mismo perfil estructural podrá adquirir multiplicidad de radios de curvatura, tanto en cada tramo a Io largo de su longitud, como en un mismo tramo a Io largo del tiempo. En una realización, ai menos algunos de dichos conectores-actuadores tienen asociado un elemento de accionamiento; preferiblemente los elementos de accionamiento tienen medios de conexión a un sistema de control.The connectors can thus modify the distance between the connecting wings, and therefore the radius of curvature in the section of the profile where they act. Thanks to the possibility of elastic deformation of the wings and through the change of length of each element "connector-actuator" with respect to its two immediately neighbors, the same structural profile can acquire a multiplicity of radii of curvature, both in each length and length. of its length, as in the same section over time. In one embodiment, at least some of said actuator connectors have an associated drive element; preferably the drive elements have connection means to a control system.
En una realización, al menos algunos de los elementos de conexión son intercambiables y se seleccionan de entre un conjunto de conectores de distintas longitudes.In one embodiment, at least some of the connection elements are interchangeable and are selected from a set of connectors of different lengths.
Así, los elementos son intercambiables en el perfil dependiendo de Ia longitud del elemento conector-actuador que se requiera para conseguir un determinado radio de curvatura en el tramo del perfil en cuestión.Thus, the elements are interchangeable in the profile depending on the length of the connector-actuator element that is required to achieve a certain radius of curvature in the section of the profile in question.
En una realización, las tiras o alas de cada perfil son continuas.In one embodiment, the strips or wings of each profile are continuous.
En una realización, el sistema comprende un primer conjunto de perfiles que se extienden en una primera dirección, y un segundo conjunto de perfiles que se extienden en una segunda dirección diferente de ia primera dirección, estando vinculados los perfiles del primer conjunto con los perfiles del segundo conjunto en una pluralidad de puntos, de modo que forman una estructura reticular o tipo parrilla.In one embodiment, the system comprises a first set of profiles that extend in a first direction, and a second set of profiles that extend in a second direction different from the first direction, the profiles of the first set being linked with the profiles of the second set in a plurality of points, so that they form a grid or grid-like structure.
En una realización, los dos conjuntos de perfiles están vinculados en al menos algunos puntos de conexión de los perfiles.In one embodiment, the two sets of profiles are linked at least some connection points of the profiles.
Preferiblemente, Ia vinculación entre los perfiles de los dos conjuntos es una unión de tipo tijera, de modo que Ia estructura reticular es plegable y desplegable.Preferably, the linkage between the profiles of the two assemblies is a scissor type joint, so that the reticular structure is foldable and deployable.
En una realización, el sistema comprende medios de fijación de los perfiles uno respecto a otro.In one embodiment, the system comprises means for fixing the profiles with respect to each other.
En una realización, el sistema para Ia construcción de cubiertas, fachadas y forjados, a base de perfiles estructurales estandarizados que permiten su producción en serie, que una vez producidos tienen Ia capacidad de ser manipulados para adoptar multiplicidad de formas curvas no predeterminadas, en función de Ia geometría a construir requerida y posibles modificaciones de forma requeridas una vez el artefacto ha sido construido; se caracteriza porque el perfil estructural contiene cómo mínimo tres tiras o alas continuas de un material con alta capacidad de comportamiento elástico que se conectan puntualmente, a intervalos, repetido numero de veces a Io largo de todo el perfil, de manera que no es posible que una tira deslice sobre Ia otra; porque cada conexión puntual entre las tres tiras contiene un elemento "conector-actuador" que dota al perfil de inercia al mantener separadas dos alas contiguas de las tres existentes y que puede adquirir diferentes longitudes dentro de su longitud máxima y mínima; y porque Ia posición de las primeras y segundas conexiones entre las tres alas a Io largo del perfil se alterna ordenadamente, de modo que en las primeras conexiones el elemento "conector- actuador" se sitúa entre el ala intermedia y Ia primera ala extrema provocando una separación entre éstas, siendo Ia distancia entre el ala intermedia y Ia segunda ala extrema despreciable y dependiendo del grosor del elemento de conexión entre éstas o de otros elementos necesarios para Ia configuración general del sistema estructural al unir varios perfiles, y en las segundas conexiones el elemento "conector-actuador" se sitúa entre Ia segunda ala extrema y el ala intermedia provocando una separación entre éstas, siendo Ia distancia entre el ala intermedia y Ia primera ala extrema despreciable y dependiendo del grosor del elemento de conexión entre éstas o de otros elementos necesarios para Ia configuración general del sistema estructural al unir varios perfiles.In one embodiment, the system for the construction of roofs, facades and slabs, based on standardized structural profiles that allow their production in series, which once produced have the ability to be manipulated to adopt multiplicity of non-predetermined curved shapes, depending on of the geometry to be constructed required and possible modifications of form required once the device has been constructed; It is characterized in that the structural profile contains at least three continuous strips or wings of a material with high capacity for elastic behavior that are connected promptly, at intervals, repeated number of times throughout the entire profile, of so that it is not possible for one strip to slide over the other; because each point connection between the three strips contains a "connector-actuator" element that gives the inertia profile by keeping two adjacent wings separated from the existing three and which can acquire different lengths within its maximum and minimum length; and because the position of the first and second connections between the three wings along the profile alternates in an orderly manner, so that in the first connections the "connector-actuator" element is located between the intermediate wing and the first extreme wing causing a separation between them, the distance between the intermediate wing and the second negligible extreme wing being and depending on the thickness of the connecting element between them or other elements necessary for the general configuration of the structural system when joining several profiles, and in the second connections the "connector-actuator" element is located between the second end wing and the intermediate wing causing a separation between them, the distance between the intermediate wing and the first negligible end wing being and depending on the thickness of the connecting element between them or other elements necessary for the general configuration of the structural system when joining several profiles.
De acuerdo con un segundo aspecto, Ia invención se refiere a un procedimiento para Ia puesta en forma de un sistema estructural de acuerdo con el primer aspecto de Ia invención, caracterizado por el hecho de que comprende por Io menos las etapas de: - determinar Ia curvatura deseada localmente, en al menos algunos tramos de los perfiles;In accordance with a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for putting in the form of a structural system in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, characterized by the fact that it comprises at least the steps of: - determining the curvature desired locally, in at least some sections of the profiles;

En una realización, Ia etapa de determinar Ia separación requerida entre el ala intermedia y Ia primera o Ia segunda alas extremas para obtener una curvatura deseada se basa en una tabla de igualación que relaciona una serie de distancias entre alas con los radios de curvatura que dichas distancias provocan en un tramo del perfil.In one embodiment, the step of determining the required separation between the intermediate wing and the first or second extreme wings to obtain a desired curvature is based on an equalization table that relates a series of distances between wings with the radii of curvature that said distances cause in a section of the profile.
La tabla de igualación se puede estructurar determinando el radio de curvatura adoptado por el perfil para cada distancia entre alas de un punto de conexión fijando Ia distancia entre alas de sus dos puntos de conexión adyacentes.The equalization table can be structured by determining the radius of curvature adopted by the profile for each distance between wings of a connection point by setting the distance between wings of its two adjacent connection points.
En una realización, al menos Ia etapa de fijar Ia separación requerida en los distintos puntos de conexión se realiza mediante un sistema de control, estando dicho sistema conectado a al menos un elemento de accionamiento, estando cada elemento de accionamiento asociado a al menos un elemento de conexión del tipo conector-actuador.In one embodiment, at least the stage of fixing the required separation at the different connection points is carried out by means of a control system, said system being connected to at least one drive element, each drive element being associated with at least one connection element of the connector-actuator type.

En una realización, es posible reproducir Ia forma de Ia estructura deseada según proyecto, mediante los siguientes pasos, aplicados a un perfil cuyas distancias entre puntos de conexión del mismo tipo son iguales y que está dotado de conectores- actuadores en al menos algunos puntos de conexión:In one embodiment, it is possible to reproduce the shape of the desired structure according to the project, by means of the following steps, applied to a profile whose distances between connection points of the same type are equal and which is provided with connectors-actuators in at least some points of Connection:
- se determina Ia tabla de igualación entre las distancias modificadas por los elementos conectores-actuadores, y los radios de curvatura que dichas distancias provocan en cada tramo del perfil;- the equalization table is determined between the distances modified by the connector-actuator elements, and the radii of curvature that said distances cause in each section of the profile;
- para al menos una dirección de coordenadas, se extraen las secciones de Ia forma proyectada de Ia superficie a reproducir, a intervalos entre dichas secciones- for at least one direction of coordinates, the sections of the projected form of the surface to be reproduced are extracted, at intervals between said sections
¡guales a Ia distancia entre puntos de conexión del mismo tipo que tiene el perfil estructural a utilizar;Same as the distance between connection points of the same type as the structural profile to be used;

- de acuerdo con Ia determinación del paso anterior, se modifican las distancias de los elementos conectores-actuadores en los perfiles que forman el sistema, modificándose así automáticamente Ia forma de Ia estructura hasta asemejarse a aquella previamente proyectada; y - una vez el sistema estructural ya está conformado según Ia geometría requerida, el sistema se fija para eliminar Ia posibilidad de pliegue y activar su capacidad estructural.- in accordance with the determination of the previous step, the distances of the connector-actuator elements in the profiles that form the system are modified, thus automatically modifying the shape of the structure until resembling that previously projected; and - once the structural system is already shaped according to the required geometry, the system is set to eliminate the possibility of folding and activate its structural capacity.
De acuerdo con un tercer aspecto, Ia invención se refiere a un perfil estructural, caracterizado por el hecho de que comprende por Io menos una tira o ala intermedia dispuesta entre dos tiras o alas extremas, todas ellas de un material con comportamiento elástico, estando las tres tiras del perfil vinculadas entre ellas a intervalos en algunos puntos de conexión mediante elementos de conexión, de modo que en unos primeros puntos de conexión del perfil el ala intermedia se mantiene más separada de una primera ala extrema que de una segunda ala extrema, y en unos segundos puntos de conexión del perfil el ala intermedia se mantiene más separada de Ia segunda ala extrema que de Ia primera ala extrema.In accordance with a third aspect, the invention relates to a structural profile, characterized in that it comprises at least one intermediate strip or wing disposed between two strips or extreme wings, all of them of a material with behavior elastic, the three strips of the profile being linked to each other at intervals at some connection points by means of connecting elements, so that in a first connection points of the profile the intermediate wing is kept more separated from a first extreme wing than from a second extreme wing, and in a few second connection points of the profile the intermediate wing is kept more separated from the second extreme wing than from the first extreme wing.
Algunas de las ventajas de realizaciones de Ia presente invención se enumeran a continuación: - Una de las ventajas más importantes es que basa su comportamiento en Ia capacidad elástica del material que conforma las alas de los perfiles. Es decir el cambio de curvatura del perfil se produce sin interrumpir su continuidad. Esto tiene innumerables ventajas como:Some of the advantages of embodiments of the present invention are listed below: - One of the most important advantages is that it bases its behavior on the elastic capacity of the material that forms the wings of the profiles. In other words, the change in profile curvature occurs without interrupting its continuity. This has innumerable advantages such as:
1. Simplifica y hace más barata su producción y puesta en obra 2. Mejora su mantenimiento a lo largo del tiempo1. Simplifies and makes its production and commissioning cheaper 2. Improves its maintenance over time
3. Multiplica Ia libertad en capacidad formal ya que no se tienen que diseñar uniones para cada tipo de movimiento requerido y por Io tanto no se tienen que predeterminar los movimientos que se desean. - Permite Ia construcción de geometrías curvas complejas no predeterminadas en el momento de Ia producción del perfil. El control formal se realiza de forma local a Io largo de cada tramo del perfil de y esto nos permite crear convexidades y concavidades de curvaturas así como cambios en los radios de curvatura dentro de un mismo perfil y de Ia superficie generada por el sistema. - Capacidad para absorber cambios de signo en el diagrama de momentos a Io largo de un mismo perfil estructural y del sistema estructural que conforman dichos perfiles.3. Multiply the freedom in formal capacity since unions do not have to be designed for each type of movement required and therefore do not have to predetermine the desired movements. - Allows the construction of complex curved geometries not predetermined at the time of profile production. Formal control is carried out locally along each section of the profile and this allows us to create convexities and concavities of curvatures as well as changes in the radii of curvature within the same profile and the surface generated by the system. - Ability to absorb sign changes in the moment diagram along the same structural profile and the structural system that make up those profiles.
- La geometría del perfil -Ia distancia entre sus alas- hace que tenga inercia y por Io tanto éste en solitario, y también en su configuración en retícula -el sistema-, tiene resistencia a flexión y buen comportamiento a cargas no uniformemente distribuidas o puntuales.- The geometry of the profile - the distance between its wings - makes it have inertia and therefore this alone, and also in its grid configuration - the system -, has resistance to bending and good behavior to loads not uniformly distributed or punctual .
1. Esto permite que las curvas y superficies no necesiten, desde un punto de vista estructural, comportarse como arcos o cúpulas puras. Esta capacidad estructural amplifica enormemente la capacidad formal del conjunto. La forma construida puede tener concavidades, convexidades, zonas planas,... Incluso permite Ia construcción de voladizos. 2. Da mejores garantías de estabilidad y resistencia al artefacto construido en cuestión, con todo Io que ello comporta. - A Io largo del perfil podremos variar independientemente Ia longitud de cada elemento "conector-actuador" -tantos como el perfil y sistema estructural contenga-. Esta posibilidad de control local y paramétrico -por medio de una tabla de igualaciones- de Ia curvatura (figs 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) simplifica el control de Ia forma deseada del perfil. - A Ia vez dicha posibilidad de control de curvatura paramétrico y local hace que no sólo sea posible ponerlo en forma durante Ia construcción del artefacto, sino que también modificar Ia forma del artefacto una vez construido, pudiéndolo adaptar a diferentes requerimientos espaciales.1. This allows curves and surfaces do not need, from a structural point of view, to behave like arches or pure domes. This structural capacity greatly amplifies the formal capacity of the whole. The shape built can have concavities, convexities, flat areas, ... It even allows the construction of cantilevers. 2. It gives better guarantees of stability and resistance to the device built in question, with all that this entails. - Throughout the profile we can vary independently the length of each element "connector-actuator" -as many as the profile and structural system contains-. This possibility of local and parametric control - by means of an equalization table - of the curvature (figs 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) simplifies the control of the desired shape of the profile. - At the same time, said possibility of parametric and local curvature control means that it is not only possible to put it into shape during the construction of the device, but also to modify the shape of the device once it has been constructed, being able to adapt it to different spatial requirements.
- El sistema al configurarse mediante uniones tipo tijera puede plegarse y desplegarse para fines de transporte etc..- The system when configured using scissor type joints can be folded and deployed for transport purposes etc.

A continuación se describirán realizaciones de Ia invención, a título de ejemplo no limitativo, con referencia a las figuras. Concretamente, según se aprecia en las figuras 1a, 1b y 1c, el perfil (8) está compuesto de cómo mínimo tres tiras o alas continuas (1a, 1b, 1c) de un material con alta capacidad de comportamiento elástico. Este mínimo de tres tiras (1a, 1b, 1c) se conectan puntualmente, a intervalos, repetido numero de veces a Io largo de todo el perfil, de manera que no es posible que una tira deslice sobre Ia otra. Cada conexión puntual (5, 6) entre las tres tiras contiene un elemento "conector-actuador" (5b ó 6b) que puede ser capaz de trabajar a compresión y que dota al perfil de inercia al mantener separadas 2 alas contiguas de las tres existentes y que puede adquirir diferentes longitudes dentro de su longitud máxima y mínima. Las conexiones entre las tres alas (1a, 1 b, 1c) son de tipo 5 y tipo 6 y su posición a Io largo del perfil se alterna ordenadamente.Embodiments of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the figures. Specifically, as seen in Figures 1a, 1b and 1c, the profile (8) is composed of at least three continuous strips or wings (1a, 1b, 1c) of a material with a high capacity for elastic behavior. This minimum of three strips (1a, 1b, 1c) are connected promptly, at intervals, repeated number of times along the entire profile, so that it is not possible for one strip to slide over the other. Each point connection (5, 6) between the three strips contains a "connector-actuator" element (5b or 6b) that can be capable of working under compression and that gives the inertia profile by keeping 2 adjacent wings of the three existing and that it can acquire different lengths within its maximum and minimum length. The connections between the three wings (1a, 1b, 1c) are of type 5 and type 6 and their position along the profile alternates in an orderly manner.
En las conexiones tipo 5 el elemento "conector-actuador" (5b) se sitúa entre Ia segunda (1b) y Ia tercera ala (1c) provocando una separación (L) entre éstas. La distancia entre Ia primera (1a) y Ia segunda ala (1 b) es despreciable y depende del grosor del elemento de conexión entre éstas (5a) o de otros elementos necesarios para Ia configuración general del sistema estructural al unir varios perfiles.In type 5 connections, the "connector-actuator" element (5b) is located between the second (1b) and the third wing (1c) causing a separation (L) between them. The distance between the first (1a) and the second wing (1b) is negligible and depends on the thickness of the connecting element between them (5a) or other elements necessary for the general configuration of the structural system when joining several profiles.
En las conexiones tipo 6 el elemento "conector-actuador" (6b) se sitúa entre Ia primera (1a) y Ia segunda ala (1b) provocando una separación (L) entre éstas. La distancia entre Ia segunda (1b) y Ia tercera ala (1c) es despreciable y depende del grosor del elemento de conexión entre éstas (6a) o de otros elementos necesarios para Ia configuración general del sistema estructural al unir varios perfiles.In the connections type 6 the element "connector-actuator" (6b) is located between the first (1a) and the second wing (1b) causing a separation (L) between them. The distance between the second (1b) and the third wing (1c) is negligible and depends on the thickness of the connecting element between them (6a) or other elements necessary for the general configuration of the structural system when joining several profiles.
La alternancia descrita en Ia posición de los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b y 6b) en Ia secuencia de las conexiones puntuales a Io largo del perfil (8), unida a Ia alta capacidad de deformación elástica de las alas (1a, 1b, 1c) del perfil que permite que estas deformen sin llegar a plastificar, provoca Ia silueta ondulada de las alas en alzado longitudinal del perfil.The alternation described in the position of the elements "connectors-actuators" (5b and 6b) in the sequence of the point connections along the profile (8), together with the high capacity of elastic deformation of the wings (1a, 1b , 1c) of the profile that allows these deformed without plasticizing, causes the wavy silhouette of the wings in longitudinal elevation of the profile.
En Ia figura 1a se muestra en alzado lateral el perfil estructural (8) en posición plana, puesto que, siendo iguales las distancias entre conexiones (5, 6), todos los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b) que lo conforman están en Ia misma posición en cuanto a su longitud (L). EI material que conforma sus alas (1a, 1b, 1 c) tiene capacidad para Ia deformación elástica y los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b) tienen Ia capacidad resistente necesaria como para al modificar su longitud efectiva (L), también modificar Ia cantidad requerida de deformación en cada tramo de las alas para cada configuración formal del perfil, (en este caso mantenerlo en su configuración formal plana). A nivel general cuando se curva un perfil continuo se produce Ia contracción de una ala y Ia compresión de Ia otra.Figure 1a shows in side elevation the structural profile (8) in a flat position, since, being equal the distances between connections (5, 6), all the elements "connectors-actuators" (5b, 6b) that make it up They are in the same position in terms of length (L). The material that forms its wings (1a, 1b, 1 c) has the capacity for elastic deformation and the elements "connectors-actuators" (5b, 6b) have the necessary resistant capacity to modify their effective length (L), also modify the required amount of deformation in each section of the wings for each formal profile configuration, (in this case keep it in its formal flat configuration). In general, when a continuous profile is curved, the contraction of one wing and the compression of the other occurs.
En el caso de Ia presente invención el procedimiento para el cambio de curvatura del perfil se consigue localmente, en cada tramo entre conexión y conexión (5, 6), modificando Ia longitud de cada elemento "conector-actuador" (5b ó 6b) respecto a sus inmediatamente vecinos (6b ó 5b repectivamente). Cada diferencia entre Ia longitud de un elemento "conector-actuador" (5b, 6b) y Ia longitud de sus inmediatamente vecinos provoca un diferente radio de curvatura en el tramo del perfil (8) en cuestión. Los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b) pueden adquirir diferentes longitudes dentro de su longitud máxima y mínima; esto significa que un mismo perfil puede adquirir multiplicidad de radios de curvatura, tanto a Io largo de su longitud como en un mismo tramo a Io largo del tiempo.In the case of the present invention, the procedure for changing the curvature of the profile is achieved locally, in each section between connection and connection (5, 6), modifying the length of each element "connector-actuator" (5b or 6b) with respect to to his immediate neighbors (6b or 5b respectively). Each difference between the length of a "connector-actuator" element (5b, 6b) and the length of its immediately neighbors causes a different radius of curvature in the section of the profile (8) in question. The "connector-actuator" elements (5b, 6b) can acquire different lengths within their maximum and minimum length; This means that the same profile can acquire multiplicity of radii of curvature, both along its length and in the same section over time.
Así pues es posible determinar una tabla de igualación entre las distancias verticales (L) entre las alas -por ejemplo La, Lb, Lc, Ld- modificadas por los elementos "conectores- actuadores" (5b, 6b) y los radios de curvatura que dichas distancias provocan en cada tramo del perfil (8).Thus, it is possible to determine an equalization table between the vertical distances (L) between the wings - for example La, Lb, Lc, Ld - modified by the elements "connectors-actuators" (5b, 6b) and the radii of curvature that these distances cause in each section of the profile (8).
Por ejemplo, una manera de estructurar dicha tabla de igualaciones sería determinar el radio de curvatura (R) adoptado por el perfil (8) para cada distancia (L) del elemento "conector-actuador" (por ejemplo 5b) -tantas entradas de distancias (L) como precisión en Ia reproducción de curvaturas se requiera; (por ejemplo La, Lb, Lc y Ld) - fijando Ia distancia L de sus dos elementos "conectores-actuadores" (6b) inmediatamente vecinos (6b, 5b) -por ejemplo a La-.For example, one way of structuring said equalization table would be to determine the radius of curvature (R) adopted by the profile (8) for each distance (L) of the "connector-actuator" element (for example 5b) - so many distance entries (L) as precision in the reproduction of curvatures is required; (for example La, Lb, Lc and Ld) - fixing the distance L of its two immediately connected "actuator-connectors" elements (6b) (6b, 5b) - for example to La-.
Esta tabla será Ia información de igualaciones entre distancias (La, Lb, Lc, Ld) y radios (Ra, Rb1 Rc, Rd) que se usará para reproducir Ia curvatura deseada en el perfil (8) y por (o tanto en e! conjunto del sistema estructural (9).This table will be the information of equalizations between distances (La, Lb, Lc, Ld) and radii (Ra, Rb 1 Rc, Rd) that will be used to reproduce the desired curvature in the profile (8) and by (or both in e ! set of the structural system (9).
Así pues el procedimiento para el control de dicha curvatura se simplifica enormemente por Ia posibilidad de parametrizar radios de curvatura (R) -por ejemplo Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd- mediante distancias verticales (L) -por ejemplo La, Lb, Lc, Ld- que se controlan mediante los citados elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b). En las figuras 2a-2d, se pueden ver cuatro ejemplos de las posibles curvaturas realizables por el perfil estructural objeto de Ia invención (8).Thus, the procedure for controlling said curvature is greatly simplified by the possibility of parametrizing radii of curvature (R) - for example Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd - by vertical distances (L) - for example La, Lb, Lc, Ld- which are controlled by said "connector-actuator" elements (5b, 6b). In Figures 2a-2d, four examples of possible curvatures can be seen by the structural profile object of the invention (8).
Los ejemplos pueden interpretarse como el movimiento del perfil entre las posibles curvaturas realizables con un mismo perfil en un mismo tramo, o también como curvaturas realizables en un mismo perfil a Io largo de distintos tramos. En los cuatro ejemplos, Ia longitud del elemento "conector-actuador" (6b) es Ia misma (La) para que, modificando una de las variables -La longitud (La, Lb, Lc y Ld) del elemento "conector-actuador" (5b)- medir el radio de curvatura que adopta el perfil (Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd) y poder establecer una tabla de igualaciones que relaciona Longitudes y Radios, que servirá para todos aquellos perfiles que respondan a las mismas dimensiones que los que han sido objeto de análisis en Ia tabla de igualaciones. La figura 2a muestra Ia posición plana del perfil puesto que todos los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b) generan Ia misma distancia entre alas. Las figuras 2b-2c muestran otras posibles curvaturas realizables por el perfil (8) en gradación de radio más grande a más pequeño en función de Ia distancia entre las alas que generan los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b), al convinar dichas distancias con las distancias provocadas por los "conectores-actuadores" (6b)- que en este caso se han fijado a La.The examples can be interpreted as the movement of the profile between the possible curvatures realizable with the same profile in the same section, or also as realizable curvatures in the same profile along different sections. In the four examples, the length of the element "connector-actuator" (6b) is the same (La) so that, modifying one of the variables -The length (La, Lb, Lc and Ld) of the element "connector-actuator" (5b) - measure the radius of curvature adopted by the profile (Ra, Rb, Rc, Rd) and be able to establish a matching table that relates Lengths and Radii, which will be used for all those profiles that respond to the same dimensions as those that have been analyzed in the equalization table. Figure 2a shows the flat position of the profile since all the elements "connectors-actuators" (5b, 6b) generate the same distance between wings. Figures 2b-2c show other possible curvatures achievable by the profile (8) in larger to smaller radius gradation as a function of the distance between the wings generated by the "connector-actuator" elements (5b), when said distances agree with the distances caused by the "connectors-actuators" (6b) - which in this case have been fixed to La.
Se entiende que también es posible invertir el signo de Ia curva fijando Ia longitud del elemento "conector-actuador" (5b) y modificando entonces los elementos "conectores- actuadores" (6b). Como ya hemos dicho, esto permite crear convexidades y concavidades de curvatura en un mismo perfil.It is understood that it is also possible to reverse the sign of the curve by fixing the length of the "connector-actuator" element (5b) and then modifying the "connector-actuator" elements (6b). As we have said, this allows to create convexities and concavities of curvature in the same profile.
También se desprende de estas figuras, que Ia manipulación de Ia curvatura del perfil se realiza localmente en cada tramo del perfil (8). Es decir que Ia manipulación de Ia longitud de cada elemento "conector-actuador" en referencia a las longitudes de sus elementos "conectores-actuadores" inmediatamente vecinos, genera un radio de curvatura local en el tramo del perfil manipulado.It also follows from these figures, that the manipulation of the profile curvature is performed locally in each section of the profile (8). In other words, the manipulation of the length of each "connector-actuator" element in reference to the lengths of its immediately neighboring "connector-actuator" elements, generates a radius of local curvature in the section of the manipulated profile.
Una vez descrito el perfil (8) y su procedimiento para su puesta en forma, es importante describir el sistema estructural (9): En Ia forma de realización preferente este sistema se basa en una parrilla a base de los perfiles anteriormente descritos. En Ia parrilla los perfiles (8) se cruzan unos con otros sin interrumpirse las tiras continuas (1a, 1b, 1c) que los conforman, y se unen en estos cruces mediante uniones tipo tijera (7) que permiten cierta deformación angular que es necesaria para que Ia retícula asuma los cambios de forma de los perfiles. Además este tipo de unión permite el pliegue del sistema (Figs. 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e) antes de su puesta en forma por Io tanto es una ventaja para el transporte de Ia estructura. Una vez los perfiles que conforman el sistema son puestos en forma mediante el control paramétrico de sus elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b) el sistema debe fijarse para eliminar Ia posibilidad de pliegue y activar al cien por cien su capacidad estructural. Esta fijación del sistema puede realizarse de diversas maneras. Por ejemplo mediante Ia triangulación del sistema, y/o mediante el bloqueo de las uniones tipo tijera, y/o mediante Ia fijación en los bordes del sistema. La figura 3a muestra una vista axonométrica de una posible porción de sistema estructural (9) tipo retícula a base de los perfiles (8) descritos en figuras anteriores. Todos los cruces entre los distintos perfiles están resueltos mediante uniones tipo tijera (7) que permiten por un lado que el sistema sea plegable en su posición plana, y por otro lado, permiten cierta deformación angular que es necesaria para que Ia retícula asuma los cambios de forma de los perfiles.Once the profile (8) and its procedure for putting it in shape are described, it is important to describe the structural system (9): In the preferred embodiment this system is based on a grid based on the profiles described above. In the grill the profiles (8) intersect with each other without interrupting the continuous strips (1a, 1b, 1c) that make them up, and are joined at these crosses by scissor type joints (7) that allow some angular deformation that is necessary so that the grid assumes the changes in the shape of the profiles. In addition, this type of connection allows the folding of the system (Figs. 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e) before being put into shape, therefore it is an advantage for the transport of the structure. Once the profiles that make up the system are put in shape by means of the parametric control of its "connector-actuator" elements (5b, 6b) the system must be set to eliminate the possibility of folding and activate its structural capacity one hundred percent. This system fixation can be done in various ways. For example, by means of the triangulation of the system, and / or by blocking the scissor type joints, and / or by fixing it at the edges of the system. Figure 3a shows an axonometric view of a possible portion of the structural system (9) grid type based on the profiles (8) described in previous figures. All the crossings between the different profiles are resolved by means of scissor-type joints (7) that allow the system to be foldable in its flat position, and on the other hand, allow some angular deformation that is necessary for the grid to assume the changes in the form of profiles.
Como es evidente de Ia figura, Ia retícula representada está en su posición plana puesto que, siendo iguales las distancias entre conexiones (5, 6, 7), todos los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5b, 6b) que Io conforman están en Ia misma posición en cuanto a su longitud (L).As is evident from the figure, the represented grid is in its flat position since, the distances between connections (5, 6, 7) being equal, all the "connector-actuator" elements (5b, 6b) that make it up are in The same position in terms of length (L).
Las figuras 3b-3e, muestran cuatro vistas axonométricas del transcurso del movimiento del sistema estructural en retícula (9) en su configuración plana, desde su estado recogido a su estado extendido.Figures 3b-3e show four axonometric views of the course of the movement of the structural grid system (9) in its flat configuration, from its collected state to its extended state.

For example, by means of the triangulation of the system, and / or by blocking the scissor type joints, and / or by fixing it at the edges of the system.
En una posible forma de realización de cubierta Ia estructura se cubre en su superficie superior, mediante una membrana elástica e impermeable. También es posible cubrirla en su superficie inferior con otra membrana. El espacio intermedio puede ser utilizado para el paso de instalaciones y el aislamiento térmico.In a possible cover embodiment, the structure is covered on its upper surface, by means of an elastic and impermeable membrane. It is also possible to cover it on its lower surface with another membrane. The intermediate space can be used for the passage of installations and thermal insulation.
En el caso de una posible forma de realización de un forjado con forma de topografía, el cubrimiento se realizaría con placas rígidas colocadas a modo de escamas de pez, es decir de manera que no todos sus lados están conectados a Ia estructura sino que algunos quedan sueltos y se solapan en una dirección debido a Ia falta de planeidad de Ia topografía que genera Ia estructura.In the case of a possible embodiment of a slab shaped topography, the covering would be made with rigid plates placed as fish scales, that is, so that not all of its sides are connected to the structure but rather Some are loose and overlap in one direction due to the lack of flatness of the topography generated by the structure.
Existe Ia posibilidad de realizar Ia conexión del elemento técnico descrito (8 ó 9) a un sistema de control (10) -ej- computador con software-. En este tipo de instalación, los elementos "conectores-actuadores" (5, 6) existentes incorporarían un elemento de accionamiento (11) que se conectaría, controlaría y activaría desde este sistema de control -ej. computador con software y hardware de transmisión- En este conjunto el sistema de control -ej. computador- podría realizar una o varias de las siguientes funciones independiente, consecutiva o alternativamente.There is the possibility of making the connection of the described technical element (8 or 9) to a control system (10) - computer with software-. In this type of installation, the existing "connector-actuator" elements (5, 6) would incorporate a drive element (11) that would be connected, controlled and activated from this control system -ej. computer with software and transmission hardware- In this set the control system -ej. computer- could perform one or more of the following functions independently, consecutively or alternatively.
1. Calcular Ia distancia de elongación de los elementos "conectores-actuadores" para adoptar el radio de curvatura requerido en el sistema constructivo. Una de las estrategias utilizadas para realizar este calculo para el perfil estructural descrito puede ser analizar mediante el software los radios de curvatura de la sección que se quiere conseguir y asignar -también mediante el software- a cada tramo de radio de perfil el numero (cantidad) y elongación de "conectores-actuadores" que se requieren según los parámetros definidos en Ia tabla de igualación anteriormente explicada y que define Ia relación existente entre radio conseguido por el elemento básico del perfil al modificar Ia elongación de un "conector-actuador" respecto a sus dos contiguos-.1. Calculate the elongation distance of the elements "connectors-actuators" to adopt the radius of curvature required in the construction system. One of the strategies used to perform this calculation for the structural profile described can be to analyze the radius of curvature of the section to be achieved by the software and assign -also through the software- to each section of radius of profile the number (amount ) and elongation of "connectors-actuators" that are required according to the parameters defined in the equalization table explained above and that defines the relationship between the radius achieved by the basic element of the profile by modifying the elongation of a "connector-actuator" with respect to to its two contiguous.
2. Automatizar el control de los elementos "conectores-actuadores" mediante el computador conectado a estos. Se necesita un sistema de transmisión que entienda los datos de las elongaciones necesarias en los "conectores-actuadores" -calculados por cualquier medio- y que transmita esos datos a los elementos "conectores-actuadores" de manera que estos al recibirlos se posicionen automáticamente según Ia distancia requerida. Para esto puede ser necesario: -un software que sea una interfaz capaz aceptar los comandos de usuario -datos de elongación necesaria en los conectores introducidos directamente por el usuario o a través de leerlos de una tabla en formato de archivo de programa- y que los envíe a los "conectores-actuadores" de Ia estructura física de manera consecuente.2. Automate the control of the "connectors-actuators" elements by means of the computer connected to them. A transmission system is needed that understands the data of the necessary elongations in the "connectors-actuators" -calculated by any means- and that transmits that data to the elements "connectors-actuators" so that when they are received they are automatically positioned according to The distance required. For this, it may be necessary: -a software that is an interface capable of accepting user commands -on elongation data needed in the connectors entered directly by the user or through reading them from a table in a program file format- and sending them to the "connectors-actuators" of the physical structure in a consistent manner.
-un hardware. Una interfaz entre el computador y el controlador del sistema de activación del elemento "conector-actuador"-a hardware. An interface between the computer and the activation system controller of the "connector-actuator" element
-un flrmware de control. Programa residente en el hardware, que interpretará los comandos provenientes del computador y rutara convenientemente las ordenes a los elementos "conectores-actuadores". 3. detectar y recibir los datos provenientes de ios elementos "conectores- actuadores" existentes en el elemento estructural físico. Es decir sería un método de comprobar por ejemplo el estado de elongación en el que realmente se encuentran estos elementos instalados en Ia estructura. También permitiría conocer Ia fuerza que estaba realizando un elemento "conector-actuador" en el instante antes de colocarse en Ia posición requerida. Así pues si incorporamos esta función a Ia instalación podemos realizar un sistema de control en lazo cerrado sobre los actuadores, es decir un sistema de control en el que se captura el estado del elemento "conector-actuador" y se excita en función de este estado. Para un control preciso del movimiento deben aplicarse métodos de control en lazo cerrado. Para conseguir este feedback del que estamos hablando es necesario incorporar al elemento "conector-actuador" un elemento sensor que será de un tipo o de otro dependiendo de Ia tecnología de actuador utilizado. Por ejemplo, en el caso de los actuadores lineales con motor eléctrico se tratará de una pieza llamada encoder, mientras que en el caso de un actuador de tipo neumático por ejemplo se tratará de sensores de posición.-a control flrmware. Program resident in the hardware, which will interpret the commands coming from the computer and will conveniently route the commands to the "connector-actuator" elements. 3. detect and receive data from the "connector-actuator" elements existing in the physical structural element. In other words, it would be a method of checking, for example, the state of elongation in which these elements actually installed in the structure are found. It would also allow to know the force that a "connector-actuator" element was carrying out at the instant before being placed in the required position. Thus, if we incorporate this function into the installation, we can carry out a closed loop control system on the actuators, that is, a control system in which the state of the "connector-actuator" element is captured and excited according to this state. . For precise movement control, closed loop control methods must be applied. To get this feedback we are talking about, it is necessary to incorporate a sensor element that will be of one type or another depending on the actuator technology used. For example, in the case of linear actuators with an electric motor, it will be a piece called an encoder, while in the case of a pneumatic actuator, for example, it will be position sensors.
Para los elementos "conectores-actuadores" de este tipo de instalación (conectados a un sistema de control), existen varios tipos de tecnologías que se pueden utilizar. Actuadores con motores eléctricos de corriente continua o alterna de varios tipos, actuadures pneumáticos, hidráulicos, pistones. Estos actuadores se pueden encontrar en el mercado o bien diseñar de modo que se adapten de Ia forma más conveniente a las funciones para los que son requeridas.For the "connector-actuator" elements of this type of installation (connected to a control system), there are several types of technologies that can be used. Actuators with electric motors of direct or alternating current of various types, pneumatic, hydraulic actuators, pistons. These actuators can be found in the market or designed so that they adapt in the most convenient way to the functions for which they are required.
La transmisión de Ia información desde el sistema de control a los actuadores, y por Io tanto Ia actuación automatizada de dichos actuadores, puede realizarse en taller para luego transportarse Ia estructura ya en forma hacia el lugar donde va a ser colocada; también se puede realizar esta transmisión una vez Ia estructura ha sido transportada a Ia obra, y también se puede realizar Ia transmisión una vez se ha instalado Ia estructura. Es decir, este último caso podría significar que la estructura, una vez instalada en su ubicación final, podría cambiar de forma en función de requerimientos funcionales de Ia estructura, (por ejemplo, requerimientos de tipo espacial, funcional, de orientación solar, de aprovechamiento energético, etc)The transmission of the information from the control system to the actuators, and therefore the automated actuation of said actuators, can be carried out in a workshop to then transport the already shaped structure to the place where it will be placed; This transmission can also be performed once the structure has been transported to the work, and the transmission can also be made once the structure has been installed. That is to say, this last case could mean that the structure, once installed in its final location, could change shape depending on the functional requirements of the structure, (for example, requirements of spatial, functional, solar orientation, use energy, etc)
Este tipo de estructura, ya en Ia instalación previamente comentada en Ia que existe Ia conexión de los elementos actuadores a un sistema de control, como en Ia que no existe dicha conexión, puede utilizarse como estructura de encofrados de superficies curvas. Ya sea para realizar encofrados recuperables de geometría variable a Io largo de Ia vida de una misma estructura, como para realizar encofrados recuperables o no, con una única geometría fija pero con Ia de que se pude producir mediante elementos estandarizados, y posteriormente ensamblarse de manera que podamos tener una estructura de encofrado para encofrar una geometría curva más o menos compleja. This type of structure, already in the installation previously mentioned in which there is the connection of the actuator elements to a control system, as in which there is no such connection, can be used as a formwork structure of curved surfaces. Already either to make recoverable formwork of variable geometry throughout the life of the same structure, as to make recoverable formwork or not, with a single fixed geometry but with the one that can be produced by standardized elements, and then assembled so that we can have a formwork structure to form a more or less complex curved geometry.
