ABSTRACT:
A supporting frame structure including supporting bars is disclosed. The structure is polygonally-curved in at least one direction to increase its dimensional stability despite a low bending resistance of the bars of the supporting structure and the bar bend points or nodes. Two bar bend points are connected together by a prestressed tension member of a first set of prestressed tension members while two bend points, which lie on opposite sides of one of the two bend points connected by the tension member of the first set, are connected by a tension member of a second set of prestressed tension members. To dampen vibrations induced in the supporting frame structure, spring-damper elements are provided. Such spring-damper elements also can be used to prestress the tension members of the two sets thereof.
