At the beginning of December 2016, a giant wooden airship “suspended” above the Center for Contemporary Art in Prague, Czech Republic, opened to the public.
The unique timber and steel airship structure was named “Gulliver” and, just like the early zeppelins, it represents both the eternal human desire to fly, and a certain utopian ideal. Gulliver will serve as space for literary events related to the themes of DOX’s exhibitions. These exhibitions are characterized by critical reflection on the situation of our contemporary world.
The chapel adjoining the old convent of San Pedro in Lugo, Spain is an original construction dating back to 1690. Its ancient roof structure was based on trusses simply supported in putlog holes located in the main wall of the church. Damage appeared here. Over time, the lower vault of the structure deteriorated to the point of limiting access to the interior.
The renovation consisted of completely replacing the roof in order to make the space below fully usable again and to provide natural light to the main temple room through the stunning church windows. Previously, the windows were boarded up in order to support the roof trusses.
Cavezzo was one of the towns in the region of Emilia-Romagna damaged by the 2012 earthquake. As a result of this event, many public and private structures were heavily damaged and became uninhabitable. The municipal gym incurred such serious damage that it was necessary to completely demolish the existing reinforced concrete structure. However, the foundation was partially left on site.
The link between businessman Wolfgang Schweidtweiler from Pforzheim (Germany) and panorama artist Yadegar Asisi made it possible for the 100-year-old gasometer, threatened with demolition, to be used in such a spectacular way.
Following a three-year construction period, a stadium with 30,000 seats was completed in Uyo, Nigeria in 2014. Major national and international events will take place in this multifunctional two-tier stadium.
Skywalk Allgäu is a path with a length of about 1,640 ft, installed at a height of 49 to 98 ft above ground, leading through the treetops of the Allgäu Alps. The path construction, built at approximately 3,281 ft above sea level, consists of cable-stayed and suspension bridge constructions. It is supported by 14 towers guyed with cables. The central point and major tourist attraction is the lookout tower, which is 164 ft high, offering visitors a wonderful view over the Alps, the Prealps, and Lake Constance.
In summer 2012, the first Czech treetop walkway opened in Lipno in the presence of Václav Klaus, then President of the Czech Republic. A path 2,214 ft in length leads to a major tourist attraction: the tree tower.
On the top platform, at a height of 131 ft, visitors can enjoy the wonderful view from the wooden lookout over Šumava National Park and Lipno Dam on the Vltava River. In the center, the tower includes a playground slide 170.6 ft in length, representing the longest closed slide in the Czech Republic.
The fourteen-story hotel directly faces Olympia World, Tyrol's largest sports and event center. The building represents one of the highest structures in the beautiful Alpine city of Innsbruck. Entering the terrace on the eleventh floor, visitors enjoy a breathtaking panorama of the Tyrolean mountains and the Bergiselschanze, a world-famous ski jumping hill which is part of the annual International Four Hills Tournament.
Many of the stone monuments in the Angkor archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are currently ruins. The condition of the intact monuments is worsening quickly.
Thus, international experts are looking intensively into the causes of the poor technical condition of these important monuments and trying to find suitable solutions to rescue them. The Czech research team is participating in saving these monuments in Angkor as well, with the five‑year research project "Thermal Imaging and Structural Analysis of Sandstone Monuments in Angkor".
The main objective of the project is represented by an analysis of the stone structures' loading due to environmental temperature changes and the influence of this loading on the static safety of the monuments. In addition to the research performed directly in Angkor, numerical simulations of the behavior of stone structures loaded by external actions, focused on the effect of temperature changes, also forms a part of the project.
The structural engineering software RFEM for FEM analysis and design by Dlubal Software was used to create numerical models and carry out the structural analysis.
Radoslav Dimitrov, a civil engineering student, took advantage of RSTAB when writing his paper, for which he analyzed a stadium roof. The object of the paper was to design a stadium for soccer matches and athletic sports events, offering space for an audience of 70,000 people. The framework of the roof is a tubular steel structure with 17,791 members in total.
