Abstract:
1. A stand structure comprising: a vertically aligned central pillar that is not connected to a subsurface; an upper bearing surface for a construction; at least three foot elements disposed around the central pillar and configured to be connected to the subsurface, each of the foot elements being connected to at least one upper radial strut and at least one lower radial strut, each of the struts having a central longitudinal axis, an upper attachment to the central pillar and a lower attachment to a respective one of the foot elements, the central longitudinal axes of each of the upper radial struts having a convexly curved profile beginning at a respective one of the upper attachments; and at least one tensile element having an outer attachment to a respective one of the upper radial struts and an inner attachment to one of the central pillar, a respective one of the lower radial struts or an additional upper radial strut disposed above a respective one of the foot elements such that the at least one tensile element is disposed in a manner which compensates buckling forces for the respective one of the upper radial struts.
