Episode 85 - Long Spans And Short Timelines
The Structural Engineering Podcast
Challenges and Solutions in Ensuring a 25-Foot Clear Span in Building Construction
The challenge was to maintain a 25-foot clear span in the building construction, but one truss saw deflection at 24 feet 3 inches due to heavy mechanical units. Building camber was attempted and a bracket was created to support the trusses off the roof, allowing for staggered construction. A pin connection with threaded rods facilitated lowering the trusses in place. The construction process involved precise bolted connections, with fabrication shops running beam line machines continuously. This allowed for streamlined production of parts, with seven pallets of bolts utilized. Field workers assembled the trusses on-site, lifting and connecting 48-foot sections systematically. The unique and challenging construction showcased innovation, precision, and coordination between engineering and field work.
