DETAILS
MATERIALS:-
Two types of materials are used in this structure-
There for the wind load were overwhelming the dominant force required to be
resisted by the shape, construction and foundation of the pavilion.
With no deflection due to the construction of the detailing, all limits were based
on user comfort at low wind speed and damage mitigation at large wind speeds.
For very high wind speeds a wind action plan, based on wind speed and
expected deflections, was created for trying down and eventually dismantling
the structure.
A wind tunnel study was not practical but therefore the wind load review
conducted by the structural engineer. (Canadian code-ASCE, and EuroCode.)
Pneumatic arches;-
The large arch in the structure was molded pneumatically using EASY, with
code wind loading for both vaults and domes, taking a tributary width of the
largest distance between tube centers. This tube geometry diameters and
air pressure in order to find a combination which would have suitable
deflection and membrane stresses. Some analysis step are showing in figure.
Deflection results from the pneumatic model were analyzed in order to
create benchmarks to be matched by a FE-beam model with equivalent
stiffness. The models were not compared for stress. Only the pneumatic
model was expected to give reliable stress results. Examples are shown in
the figure.
Global Beam Models;-
The benchmarked beam elements were combined to create a global model of the large pavilion structure, the fire
elements were included.
The global model enabled the analysis of varies tube diameters to determine their effect on deflections. Tube diameters
vary between 1.2meter and 1.6 meters, with the smaller tube used in most areas and the larger tubes and in some key
zones, such as the largest opening and the longitudinal end of the structure.
FOUNDATION;-
Krinner ground screw were selected over a concrete block footing
because of the concealed appearance, light weight and ease of
installation and deconstruction.
60 ground screw are specified.
Multiple compressor were used to maintain a constant internal air pressure
The structure stood for 38 days, the during of the Pan American and Para Pan American Games.
During the day the structure appeared bright white, but at the night it was illuminated with various colures using external and internal lighting.
