A conformable modular support/enclosure wall system incorporates a skin formed
of modular sheet sections bolted to a skeleton or framework constructed of elongate
rib elements that can be fastened, e.g. bolted, together in various relationships
including end-to-end, side-to-end and side-to-side configurations. The rib elements
are provided in a variety of lengths and wall arrangements and each element has
a generally trapezoidal cross-section, with a similar trapezoidal appearance in
side elevation. The rib elements include transverse slots and apertures as well
as axial apertures all configured to receive bolt fasteners within a range of angular
orientations relative to the axial and transverse axes of the ribs. The flexible
sheet sections of the skin bear arrays of openings in the form of elongated slots
arranged in coordinate grid patterns, with the slots alternately aligned with the
x and y axes of the same or independent coordinate grids. Threaded hanger bars
extending through one or more skin sections and through the slots and apertures
in the ribs, serve to secure the skin to the ribs, using mating nuts threaded onto
the hanger bars. Separate rib bolts extending through the slots and apertures in
the ribs serve to secure the ribs to each other to form a skeleton or framework
using rib nuts threaded onto the rib bolts.
