Part of the "secret" of Palaces For The People
extraordinary strength and low-costs for construction
is the little-known, poorly understood virtues of the
Octet Truss backbones embedded inside the walls,
floors, roofs. To make this a bit clearer, here are
another set of drawings in the Ecovillage-Ecocity
Palaces For The People website series. Hurry... This
website is prepaid up until January. If the public is
not interested in this concept, the webhosting fees
can easily be diverted to some other worthy project.

Octet Trusses Tie All Four Corners of a Palace
Together 

Made of modern fiber strands in bundles, carbon,
e-glass, aramids, PVA, Octet Trusses can provide the
strongest structures ever conceived by the mind of
mankind. Octet Trusses have twelve-way stress
dispersal, almost instantly translating tensile to
compression, compression to tensile, forces are
dispersed over wide areas. Triangulation within
triangulation within triangulation, grids of Octet
Trusses unite all four corners of a building structure
into a super-strength integral whole. 
These pictures are "rough sketches" of ideas how octet
frameworks can be erected to become the invisible
skeleton behind the conventional materials covering
the interior and exterior walls, floors, and roofing
decks-patios of Palaces For The People. Made of space
age materials are mostly air, so light they can be
erected in modules by teenage girls, can be joined by
"pre-preg" technology so that no power tools are
needed at the building site.

PLEASE NOTE: The pictures are not engineering
drawings. They represent concepts of structural ideas
to be properly examined by qualified, licenced,
practicing engineers, and modified to accomodate any
specific architectural design and expected loading
demands on the structures based, on all of the
materials used in a project. 
A building of stone masonry exterior walls is heavier
than one using lightweight cellular (foamed) cement
with octet-rebar panels in the walling. Consequently,
a masonry building requires different structural
design. Any building placed in cyclone, hurricane, or
tornado tracks needs additional internal ribs than a
building in a more gentle climate. Do NOT argue these
drawings based on perceived inadequacies for a
hypothetical situation, as it is a waste of time all
of our time because the pictures are not engineering
drawings.
