Abstract

A space frame is made from a plurality of truss modules and transverse chords. The truss modules and transverse chords are interconnected by fasteners contained therein. The truss modules have split longitudinal chords which are abutted to interconnect the truss modules. The transverse chords interconnect with the truss modules which are alternatingly arranged in two parallel planes to form the space frame matrix.
