Tutorial Week 3 - Cma534

This document discusses long span structures. It begins by explaining the purposes of long span structures, which include enabling large gatherings without obstructions, accommodating manufacturing/commerce needs, and becoming landmarks. It then lists common structural systems for long spans like beams, trusses, and roof structures. The rest of the document outlines important considerations for long span construction, such as material strength, support systems, foundation stability, wind/earthquake resistance, construction methods, quality control, cost efficiency, architectural harmony, maintenance planning, and safety during construction. It concludes by noting factors that determine appropriate structures and listing types of long span beam approaches.

What are the purpose of long span structure?


• Enables a large group of people to assemble without obstruction by the
presence of supporting column
• For manufacturing and commerce; e.g., atrium at shopping complex events
and promotional activities
• Dominate the landscape and easily become landmark free advertisement for
the owners and even for the city.

What are the common structural system for long span?


• Long span beam
• Long span trusses
• Long span roof structures

What are the considerations for long spans construction?


1. Material Strength:
• Explanation: Use strong and durable materials that can support the
weight and span of the structure.
• Importance: Strong materials ensure the safety and stability of the
construction.
2. Support Systems:
• Explanation: Plan for strong columns, beams, or arches to support the
structure evenly.
• Importance: Proper support prevents the structure from bending or
collapsing.
3. Foundation Stability:
• Explanation: Ensure a solid foundation that can hold the weight and
prevent settling.
• Importance: A stable foundation is crucial for the overall strength and
safety of the structure.
4. Wind and Earthquake Resistance:
• Explanation: Design for resistance against strong winds and
earthquakes.
• Importance: Protects the structure from external forces that could
cause damage.
5. Construction Methods:
• Explanation: Choose construction methods that are safe and efficient
for building large spans.
• Importance: Ensures a smooth and successful construction process.
6. Quality Control:
• Explanation: Test materials and check construction quality to avoid
defects.
• Importance: Ensures the structure meets safety standards and lasts
longer.
7. Cost Efficiency:
• Explanation: Consider costs for materials, construction, and
maintenance.
• Importance: Keeps the project within budget and ensures financial
feasibility.
8. Architectural Harmony:
• Explanation: Integrate the design seamlessly with the building's
overall look and purpose.
• Importance: Creates a visually appealing and functional structure.
9. Maintenance Planning:
• Explanation: Plan for ongoing maintenance to keep the structure in
good condition.
• Importance: Ensures the longevity and sustainability of the
construction.
10. Safety During Construction:
• Explanation: Prioritize safety measures for workers during the
construction process.
• Importance: Prevents accidents and ensures a safe working
environment.
The most appropriate form of structures will depend upon
• Functional requirement type of building
• Spans to be covered
• Internal height of the building
• Material used
• Lighting requirement
• Speed of construction
• Nature and magnitude of loads
• Accommodation of services
• Aesthetic consideration
• Foundation conditions
