One way to increase efficiency in the field of construction is to develop and improve new progressive design forms that reduce the consumption of materials, the complexity of manufacturing and erection, and the cost. These include a variety of combined systems, including arched ones.
Frameless arch systems have not been widely developed in our country due to the lack of adaptedness of the design concept to Russian climatic conditions, while frame arch systems have a high consumption of materials.
It is proposed to improve arch systems by increasing the spatial rigidity of the entire building made of rolled metal due to the combined action of the load-bearing frame and enclosing structures made of corrugated sheets. Thus, it becomes possible to use frameless arches on large spans. The use of such structures opens up wide opportunities for creating coverings that are characterized by lightweight and high technical and economic features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
