Abstract
The objective of this research is to develop an experimental model to study the characteristics of retractable systems. The experimental model involved the construction of a 4 limbs retractable umbrella. The experimental model by adding 8 members, in order to maintain better structural balance is then improved. The design model is supported by the European code EHE08, but was redesigned with LRFD code to have a diameter according to local requirements. In addition, the model helped form constructive concepts of movement of the folding systems umbrella-shaped, which resulted in a retractable folding system, which is bent on building a node to join two elements creating a structural system. This work was concluded that the transformable systems can help improve the design of flexible structural systems.
