The article deals with the issues of glass use in the enclosing structures of large-span coverings, which have such advantages as ensuring the penetration of natural light, tightness, minimum labor costs for repair and maintenance. Design shortcomings: the high cost, the need for protection of the internal volume against the penetrating sun rays in the warm season (hothouse effect); arrangement of devices for operation of a roof. The key technical properties and characteristics of glass panels and pane-glass sets, constructive decisions, including interface to the main bearing structures of a large-span covering are given. Peculiarities of their design with due regard for ventilation and smoke removal, a drainage of condensate, ways of fight against frosting and snow drifts on the roof are reflected. Features of the account of loadings, the basic approaches to their calculation are considered. Various design solutions for the spatial metal trussed systems with the original nodal connections are presented. Information on modern solutions of translucent roofs using glass for large-span coverings is given.

Local Shear

Based on plastic limit analysis, the deformation and fracture mechanism of the floor in the large-span chambers of deep mines are discussed and a similarity model test is carried out to verify the reliability of the theoretical analysis. The results show that the local shear failure first appears below the loading area and develops to the middle part of the test model with the increase in load; when the local shear failure develops to form a continuous sliding surface, continuous plastic flow deformation occurs; the distribution of the plastic zone and the deformation mode obtained from the similarity model test are basically consistent with the Hill-like deformation mode derived from plastic limit analysis. A control technology with anti-slide piles is proposed in order to deal with floor heave in large-span chambers on the basis of previous work. An approach for determining the supporting parameters of anti-slide piles is deduced. To deal with the floor heave in the −1100 level gangue winch room of the Huafeng Coal Mine, a comprehensive reinforcement scheme with anti-slide piles composed of discarded rails and anti-floating anchors is introduced for the floor heave control of the chambers. Site monitoring results show that the scheme not only effectively restrains the development of floor heave, but also ensures the long-term stability of the chamber floor.

Engineering Concept

Technical Museum is one of the most visited Museums in Zagreb (capital of Croatia). The museum presents scientific and educational centre in the field of technical sciences. The entire structure of the Museum is constructed as a timber structure and as such represents a rare existing example of the European engineering concept of expo-halls timber structures with large span (85m x 40 m) from the early 20 century. In this article overview of different NDTs that were performed in order to assess the structural performance of elements is given; moisture ratio and ultrasound investigations are carried out in situ in order to investigate timber condition. Based on the detected state of the structure reconstruction measures are presented.
