In the realm of architectural marvels, long-span commercial buildings stand as testaments to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. From ancient civilizations to modern skyscrapers, the evolution of long-span structural design has been a journey marked by innovation, challenges, and remarkable achievements. In this blog, we delve into the historical progression and contemporary trends shaping the design of these awe-inspiring structures. #LongSpanDesign #StructuralEngineering #CommercialArchitecture #BuildingInnovation #ArchitecturalDesign #ConstructionTechnology

Once we laser scan a project, our clients can order section cuts like slices at the deli counter. Or, we can bake them an entire 3D Revit cake. Either way, we only use the freshest ingredients. This is a historic 1905 residence in New England. Our architect client needed site-verified documentation with billions of measurements and 360° photos of all facets across four levels and three separate structures. Anyone who has attempted to hand measure a project like this knows it's literally impossible to get high accuracy information. Floors are not entirely flat and 90° angles do not exist (not even in new structures). #residentialarchitecture #architecture #renovationproject #historicpreservation #historichomes #historicrestoration #architects #architect #residential #renovation #residentialarchitect #residentialconstruction #residentialinteriors #interiordesign #newengland #building #construction

It consists of a series of steps (treads and risers) supported by strings (sides), beams, or walls. Staircases come in various designs and configurations, ranging from straight and spiral to curved and helical, depending on architectural and space constraints. #𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬: The advisable width of a residential Staircase is 1200mm Dear #Architects, for prompt delivery of standard #BOQ, #Structural, and #MEP drawings, contact +2347064234077. #Architecture #StructuralEngineering #MechanicalEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #ProjectManagement.

This is Arte Aluminum, thermally broken, welded construction, handcrafted – it isn’t a site built stick system. Site built stick systems tend to have a downside. Once finished they look like – well, site built stick systems. Arte Aluminum is handcrafted, welded, ground smooth and then finished. The reinforcement and mulling struts are integral to the design, retaining minimal sightlines while meeting critical deflection criteria and creating a consistent architectural language. We design, engineer and fabricate unique architectural fenestration for homes and boutique hospitality projects that demand a higher level of fit and finish. We’ve put our heart and soul into that purpose for the last 33 years. To all our clients – thanks so much for the journey so far, we’re loving it.

In architecture and structural engineering, a space frame or space structure (3D truss) is a rigid, lightweight, truss-like structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern. Space frames can be used to span large areas with few interior supports. Like the truss, a space frame is strong because of the inherent rigidity of the triangle; flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each strut. First the frame is woven on the foundation and then it is taken up by cranes as it is shown and then the columns are placed in their position while the space frame is held by cranes.

Big shout out to all of our #architectural colleagues who love a big cantilever. It’s actually relatively simple to achieve features like this utilising steel structures which provide the perfect blend of stiffness to weight ratio. Just be sure to provide the engineer with sufficient depth for the members. We are currently working with Anotherkind Architects on a new leisure building at the Priory Centre, Worksop. A feature of the building is a 9m span, projecting roof canopy on the corner of the building, creating an impressive and welcoming focal point to the design. A steel truss structure has been incorporated within the soffit and once clad will provide the desired effect. The truss continues into the adjacent span to reduce bending in the supporting column. When adopting solutions like this it is important to consider the use of non slip connections so that real world deflections are as analysed. Also remember to think carefully about the errection sequence and any temporary works requirements early. In this case, erection in the direction away from the vertical braced bay will ensure stability ie. Erect braced bay, erect backspan, erect cantilever truss. Solutions like this are also possible in concrete, however long term deflections owing to creep will be critical, and achievable spans will be significantly less for equivalent structural depth due to increased material weight and much reduced stiffness of material. Temporary works will also be much more onerous. It’s all about selecting the right material and structural arrangement. A simple, yet effective solution to deliver the architectural vision.

Emseal's Seismic Colorseal plays a crucial role in sealing the complex, tapered, and curved curtainwall expansion joints at the iconic TWA Hotel at JFK Airport. The hybrid foam-and-silicone sealant adapts to varying joint widths and offers exceptional insulation, noise attenuation, and watertightness. Its non-invasive installation and durability make it ideal for the challenging connections between concrete and curtainwall, ensuring longevity and performance in this architectural masterpiece: https://lnkd.in/gx7HRTZ #expansionjoints #sealants #TWAHotel JFKAirport #NYC #construction #constructionindustry #constructionproducts #constructionservices #buildings #buildingproducts #buildingowners #waterproofing #waterproofingsolutions #buildingenclosure #buildingenvelope #buildingconstruction #Sika #Emseal #architects #architecture #consultingengineers #propertymanagement #propertyowners #facilitiesmanagement

Concrete is susceptible to damage due to a number of factors. It is important that concrete structures are regularily inspected to ensure the structure remains safe. Exposed rebar or rust marks on concrete are an indicator that you should have a professional engineer review your structure. https://buff.ly/49AZIGs #engineering #design #architecture #construction #interiordesign #design #building #contractor #architecturaldesign #realestate #brockville #kingston #ottawa #cornwall #smithsfalls #gananoque #1000islands #easternontario #engineer #designer #ontario #build #diy #exterior #render #CAD #sketchup #landscape #surveying
