Deployable cylindrical vaults with reciprocal linkages for emergency buildings

Deployable bar structures are especially useful for emergency buildings. These require simplicity and ease of assembly their performance can be improve by using reciprocal linkage at bars ends. This configuration determines singular constructive conditions that allow all types cylindrical vaults. article develops this new system, from a previously theoretical analysis to test campaign allows verifying the validity proposal. Comparing these results with those resulting construction systems straight scissor-like elements or imposed curvature, shows adequacy proposal, advantages joints in vaults configurations.
