Description
Summary:•Analysis of the largest pre-stressed concrete structure in the world.•Numerical simulations comparison with analytical results obtained during the construction of the Hall.•Structural integrity analysis of one of the load-bearing elements in the presence of a crack. This paper involves the analytical and numerical calculations of the the largest pre-stressed concrete free-standing structure in the world – the Dome of the “Hall 1 of the Belgrade Fair”, designed by a well-known Serbian scientist and engineer Branko Žeželj, one of the founders of the Institute for testing of materials IMS in Belgrade, conveniently positioned just across the street, best known for coming up with a concrete pre-stressing system, which is still widely used today. As a part of this research, this large and unique structure will be analyzed from point of view of structural integrity, including numerical simulation of crack growth in one of its support columns. Presented analyses also include the calculation of forces and moments in the structure as a whole, while also taking into account foundation displacements in the columns.
