Evaluation of Cast Iron Columns for Safety and Reliability
Cast iron columns exist in numerous vintage buildings. Alterations to these buildings often require analysis and modification of the structural system. This paper identifies codes that...

Design and Analysis of the 712 Fifth Avenue Structure
New York City's 712 Fifth Avenue is an extremely-slender concrete tube tower. This text addresses the structure's lateral structural system, wind analysis, computer model, thermal analysis...

The Slender Tower of 52-54 East End Avenue
The structural system for the 52-54 East End Avenue project is presented. The 40 story residential tower with as aspect ratio of 12: 1 is one of the most slender buildings constructed...

Gothic Structure and Design: Narbonne Cathedral
Viollet le Duc considered Narbonne Cathedral to be one of the best constructed Gothic buildings in France. The ambulatory piers are single courses of stone bonded into adjacent walls....

A New Way of Teaching Structural Engineering With the `AN/EX' Mini-Laboratory
Students in the AN/EX lab first use a custom-written preprocessor to generate a proper input file to run the professional-level M-STRUDL structural analysis program to predict the load...

Review of Cold-Formed Steel Purlin Design
The use of cold-formed steel members as roof purlins for single story industrial and commercial buildings is commonly recognized. These members typically have either a C- or Z-shaped cross...

Column and Beam-Column Design - A World View
This paper is concerned with the design of columns and beam-columns in steel building frames. Design provisions found in some selected codes viz. AS DR87164 87(Australia), BS5950 Part...

Some Aspects of Compression Member Design in Australia
The paper summarizes and elucidates the provisions of the Australian Standard AS4100-1990, Steel Structures, for the design of compression members. Emphasis is placed on those aspects...

Glass-covered Lightweight Spatial Structures
The double curved reticulated spatial structure with triangular mesh is the most favorable basis for a translucent roof. But this structure, especially is directly glazed without intermediate...

A Design for a Football Stadium Roof Enabling Growth of a Natural Grass Playing Surface: Sydney Football Stadium - Australia
This paper discusses the development of a design for a stadium roof which will provide conditions allowing the growth of a wearable natural grass surface suitable for sports including...

Phoenix Central Library: Reading Room Roof
This paper discusses the design and analysis of the cable truss roof over the fifth floor reading room of the new Phoenix Central Library. Forty pairs of diagonally oriented cable trusses...

Space Frame Solution for the Design of Large Pyramid Structures
This paper presents the engineering design methodology, structural analysis, system detailing, and installation procedures for a large span space frame structure currently under construction...

Roof Space Frame Design of the C.K.S. Airport Passenger Terminal II
This article attempts to provide a description of the characteristics of the Second Terminal Airport. To comply with the functional requirement of the magnificent facade and spacious design...

LRFD vs. ASD for Wood Structures
There is a growing preference within the structural engineering community for the adoption of reliability-based load and resistance factor design (LRFD) procedures in lieu of traditional...

What Controls the Ultimate Load of a Glulam Dome?
A glulam dome is analyzed with the finite element method to determine the governing failure mode and ultimate snow loads. The dome consists of a triangulated network of curved glulam beams,...

Timber Structures
This paper deals with three different curvilinear timber structures of moderate spans - 120 feet to 200 fee +/-. In each of the three cases cited, the roof deck and boundary members are...

An Application of Inverse Problem Techniques to Spatial Structures
The present paper attempts to give a definition of inverse problems for spatial structures, and to develop a design method to find the optimum configurations and shapes for such structures...

Structural Failure and Quality Assurance of Space Frames
Space frame has been developed rapidly in China and used to wide extent to cover various types of buildings. The large scale of application will unavoidably cause quality problems. Damages...

Prisms and Antiprisms
Prisms form a group of mathematical figures, that have found widespread application in many disciplines, but especially in architecture and in building structures. They have two identical...

Experimental Study on a Buckling Behavior of a Wooden Single-Layer Space Frame of Reticular Shell on a Hexagonal Plan: Influence due to the Bolted Joint Looseness with Axial and Bending Resistance
The authors have investigated about the structural behavior of a wooden single-layer space frame structure with the bolted joints. We have carried out a buckling tests of a wooden single-layer...
