These Steiff animals have no direct

connection to skeleton structures, but
The Steiff company erected the above building in 1903,

one of the first steel-frame structures in the
world and the first one with an all-glass-faade.
It is a double-layer faade to protect

from the cold in winter and
excessive heat in the summer.

This building has an exo-skeleton, that is: the loadbearing skeleton structure lies on the outside of the
building. Here, this is a system.
Any idea why this elaborate structure

and construction system was chosen
in this case?

How does this

wide-spanning bridge
curving back and forth
support itself ?
Truss without diagonal braces

Under pressure from above

Under pressure from above the structure gives in

It collapses at the joints; they cannot take moment forces.

Load from the top

introduces compression loads (green)
Introduce diagonals to absorb the moment forces in joints

Diagonals carry tension (in this setup)

As diagonals are being pulled, they can be very slender

If the diagonals orient differently they carry compression,

consequently have to be thicker to avoid buckling.
Stiffening the joints permits to take moment forces.

This is called a Vierendeel Beam.
