Abstract
[Abstract] Deployable structures are a good solution for emergency buildings due to their lightweight and compact characteristics that allow them to be transported to wherever they are needed, especially in emergency situations. Generally, folding structures have been designed with modules comprised of straight bars, forming a scissor joint. They are efficient systems, although they have the disadvantage of being excessively deformable, requiring the use of large and consequently heavier sections.
Recently, interesting proposals have been made based on deployable systems with parallel arches and also with arches or frames with multiple intersections. Dome solutions have been proposed with vertical and horizontal axis joints with reciprocal support in the linkages that increase their efficiency.
In this document, a new system is proposed for deployable structures based on a similar system of multiple intersections, but composed of straight bars. This allows them to be applied to a traditional and highly effective design, the yurt. The deployable yurts developed have multiple applications for common types of structures used in emergency situations.
