ABSTRACT:
An underwater truss structure is formed by continuously linking a plurality of unit structures. Each of the unit structures is formed by assembling a plurality of shafts and ball members so as to form a triangle with the ball members respectively positioned at the vertexes of the triangle to connect the shafts at their ends. The shaft includes a compression-resistant tubular member and a tension-resistant tension rod extending inside the tubular member in the axial direction thereof. The tubular member is divided into a plurality of tubular pieces in the longitudinal direction thereof so that they are movable relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the tubular member and the overall length of the tubular member can be varied by moving the tubular pieces relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the tubular member. The tension rod is divided into a plurality of rod pieces in the longitudinal direction thereof and the rod pieces are respectively connected to said tubular pieces.
