Historic Ship Enclosure Design Group 11
Introduction Tasked to provide a “ship enclosure and adjacent building comprising one structure […] with the adjacent building running along one side of the ship”
Final design - Justification • Reasons for selection: Form • Strong maritime influence Function • Exhibition space provided in conventional structure • Efficient use of space • Member spacing procures a largely transparent design
Structural arrangement • Double-height atrium • ‘Seamless’ connection between buildings • No obstruction of visitor flow • Ship visible throughout
Structural arrangement • Crow’s nest experience • Standalone walkway
Consideration of structure • Limited interaction of constituent structures… …may design the three structures independently: • 1. Ship enclosure • 2. Adjacent building • 3. Standalone walkway 3 2 1
Key features – Ship Enclosure • Cladding support system – 2D truss network • Conventional bracing arrangement • Doubly-pinned at each end • Inclination parallel to connected 3D trusses • Connecting to outer chords
Key features – Ship Enclosure • Primary framework – Asymmetrical 3D trusses • Pinned at foundations Fixed connections Pinned connections
Key features – Ship Enclosure • Primary framework – Asymmetrical 3D trusses • Prefabricated triangular space frame • Repeated Howe truss • KT gap & T joints • 3D arrangement provides resistance in all load scenarios
Key features – Ship Enclosure • Lateral restraint – Longitudinal wind loading • Symmetrical ranks of cross-bracing bays • Act to transfer wind loads on vertical facings into interior trusses
Key features – Ship Enclosure • Lateral restraint – Transverse wind loading • Tie anchorage in the form of cable restraint • Form an architectural showpiece • Act to greatly limit lateral deflections • Assessed in a sway sensitivity analysis
Key Features – Crow’s nest Walkway • Two access shafts • 62m high • 4 glass lifts, 2 stairwells • Structure • Props • I-beams • 3-D trusses
Key Features – Adjacent Structure • Conventional arrangement • Simple steel frame structure • Standard beams & columns • ComFlor 60 decking • Lateral bracing • Prevents torsion
Key features – Adjacent Building • Load Paths
Construction process • Prefabricated Sections - Truss • Standard Sections - Column, Beam • Transportation • Preassemble
Sustainability • Materials • Solar panels • Triple Glazing • Reflective Coating on Glass • Natural Lighting • Rainwater Harvesting
