Abstract: |
Belgian civil engineering Brussels International was represented at the Exhibition by an original and audacious reinforced concrete structure. It was a reinforced concrete cantilever beam (arrow) 270 ft long, balanced by a triangular shell roof with 95-ft sides and a thickness of 2 1/2 in. The whole construction was supported by only three columns. Architecrural, sfructural design, and construction features are described. |
