Perché la torre di Šuchov è un iperboloide di travi dritte
Torre radio di Mosca alta 160 m, finita nel 1922 con travi dritte e sei sezioni iperboloidi montate a telescopio: com'è fatta e cosa prevede il progetto.
La struttura a iperboloide di Šuchov sfrutta aste d'acciaio lineari per formare una superficie rigata autoportante.
- Sesta sezione installata
- 14 feb 1922
- La sesta sezione fu installata e fissata in via definitiva.[43]
