Systems with a monostructural structural organism

Systems with a monostructural structural organism are distinguished by this, that all main load cells are made of materials with the same physicochemical or very similar properties, at the same time, they form a uniform static and structural concept. Such spatial systems are capable of smoothly transferring forces from the link to the support link even in this case, when some of these cells stop working.

As an example of this type of structural organism, the system used in Romanesque or Gothic sacred buildings can be indicated. Basic structural elements of these systems, so walls, pillars and vaulted covers, they are organically related to each other in all directions, and through the supports also with the ground.

Many examples can be mentioned, that this kind of structural systems, when they are not exposed to uneven settlement or other displacement, They are characterized by high stability and spatial stiffness as well as special resistance to destructive factors, even of a dynamic nature. Puncture or destruction of part of the system, for example. during a bombing or operation of natural forces, thanks to the spatial configuration and coherence of load-bearing links of the main and interdependent structures, it does not affect the stability of the entire structure.
