Abstract
The 2019 Light of Internet Expo main exhibition hall in Wuzhen, China has an innovative roof system combining beam strings, multi-span suspended beams and redundant wind-resisting cables, covering an area of 90 m × 211 m. The suspended 200 mm deep beams form an undulating roof of 35.5 m to 48 m in span length. The novel de-sign, which efficiently combines architectural aesthetics and structural force flow, needed to be completed and built in just 7 months for the exhibition. This paper focuses on structural design issues such as form finding, shape optimisation and structural analysis.
期刊介绍:
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
