Kuidas muudab mudelprojekteerimine teraskonstruktsioonide valmistamist ja ehitamist
design, fabrication and construction had to be extremely accurate. The main reason for
this is the diamond shaped curtain wall that had to line up perfectly with the structural
steel. During the design phase, 3D models were used to determine the deflection of the
inclined building faces. Based on that information, the reading room steel grid was
reinforced by a series of raking columns and doubled up diagonal members called
“amoebas.” The “amoebas” allowed the structural shell to achieve an optimal thickness,
while stiffening the membrane and preventing it from crumpling. Structural steel sections
were designed to limit their depth, minimize the number of connections, and unitized to
fit on a truck bed.
During fabrication, there was no need to create shop drawings from scratch, and risk
overlooking something or accidentally entering the wrong dimensions. All the required
information concerning member sizes, camber, bolt holes, etc
