Special features of design and execution of MERO type spatial structures

This paper presents a specific type of steel spatial structural systems whose bolted connections are realised in the MERO system. The features of the concept of the system itself are given and its components, design principles and peculiarities, transport method and specific assembly methods are described in detail. Finally, the descriptive part of the work is accompanied by examples of constructed buildings, for which the particularities of design and execution are given. The advantages of the MERO type solutions described are emphasised in the conclusion of the paper.
