The Structural Behaviour of Spires Structural Analysis of Historic Construction – D’Ayala & Fodde (eds) © 2008 Taylor & Francis Group, London, ISBN 978-0-415-46872-5 The structural behaviour of spires E. Olosz & B. Szabó Technical University, Cluj-N., Romania ABSTRACT: In spite of the fact that there are plenty of examples of historic spatial roof structures – in spires, castle towers, etc. – in the technical literature information about this kind of structure can rarely be found, especially about their structural behaviour. The development of computerised 3D programs of analysis and modelling helped us to improve our understanding of this. This paper offers a guide to assist in the understanding of the structural behaviour of the load bearing structure of spires, offering a typology, followed by a detailed presentation of these structural analyses. 1 INTRODUCTION exclusively from supporting load-bearing sub-units (such as walls, pillars, columns), usually located on To build a shelter against sun, wind or rain is one of the external face or edge of buildings [6]. the most fundamental of human needs.

There is a beam built into the walls of the tower (about 80 cm below the basic Figure 1. Spatial roof structures. framing system) which supports the Kingpost. So as to hold the corners of the spire there are two solutions. In medieval times they used a bracing system constructed inside the tower being one or two stories across (Fig- 2.2.1 Spires with long Kingposts ure 3b1.). The other system used metal bars (diameter The kingpost, the “spine” of the spire, is supported by φ30–32) built into the walls of the tower being about the basic framing system and supported vertically by 1.5–2.0 m long (Figure 3b2).

    Common Threads Structural Issues in Historic Buildings By Craig M. Bennett, Jr., P.E. Charleston, South Carolina is blessed with historic structures. Eighteenth and nineteenth century houses, churches and civic buildings adorn every block. The city has ® interesting challenges for the structural engineer… the east coast’s largest earthquake, hurricanes, city-wide fires and poor soils have put buildings and their designers to the test. Because the primary structural materials found here, soil, masonry, timber and iron, are the same as those used everywhere over the last three centuries, struc- tural issues common to buildings in Charleston are found in historic buildings all over the nation. Buildings move due to consolidation of soils; masonry cracks; lime leaches out of mortar; timber creeps under stress and rots when faced with water intrusion and iron corrodes. The only threat not severe here is a regular freeze- thaw cycle.

  • Geometric Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design Robert Bork*
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Bork, R 2014 Dynamic Unfolding and the Conventions of Procedure: Geometric +LVWRULHV Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design. Architectural Histories, 2(1): 14, pp. 1-20, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.bq RESEARCH ARTICLE Dynamic Unfolding and the Conventions of Procedure: Geometric Proportioning Strategies in Gothic Architectural Design Robert Bork* This essay explores the proportioning strategies used by Gothic architects. It argues that Gothic design practice involved conventions of procedure, governing the dynamic unfolding of successive geometrical steps. Because this procedure proves difficult to capture in words, and because it produces forms with a qualitatively different kind of architectural order than the more familiar conventions of classical design, which govern the proportions of the final building rather than the logic of the steps used in creating it, Gothic design practice has been widely misunderstood since the Renaissance. Although some authors in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries attempted to sympathetically explain Gothic geometry, much of this work has been dismissed as unreliable, especially in the influential work of Konrad Hecht. This essay seeks to put the study of Gothic proportion onto a new and firmer foundation, by using computer-aided design software to analyze the geometry of carefully measured buildings and original design drawings. Examples under consideration include the parish church towers of Ulm and Freiburg, and the cross sections of the cathedrals of Reims, Prague, and Clermont-Ferrand, and of the Cistercian church at Altenberg. Introduction of historic monuments to be studied with new rigor. It is Discussion of proportion has a curiously vexed status in finally becoming possible, therefore, to speak with reason- the literature on Gothic architecture.

    Jan Lewandoski Restoration and Traditional Building ​ 92 Old Pasture Rd. ​ Greensboro Bend , Vermont 05842 802-533-2561; 802-274-4318 [email protected] May 7, 2020 The Granville Town Hall, Granville Vermont A Preservation Trust of Vermont Technical Assistance Survey The Granville Town Hall is a tall 2-story, white, ​ clapboarded structure located on the west side of Rt. 100 at the center of Town. It was first built as a church in 1871. It is currently attached to the Town Offices, which are located in the Town’s 1857 schoolhouse. The Town Hall probably started life sitting on a stone foundation on the ground. At a later date the church was lifted and had the current first floor added beneath it. The doorway appears to be of the original period of the church (1871), and to have been relocated to the new lower story. The original tower may have been only the first square section, but at some later date the second square and spire were likely added. I base this observation on fact that the second square section of the tower, and the spire, don’t start within the first section as is usually done (telescoping), but just sit on top of it. The architectural style is vernacular Greek Revival. Characteristic of this are the wide pilasters, closed pediment, and wide double frieze. There is an interesting projection, reflecting the position of the tower or a porch for the doorway, on the middle of the front wall. This is seen occasionally on Vermont churches. The Town Hall is of timber frame construction, spruce and hemlock, and measures about 36 x 48 in plan.

  • Architecture of the Cabildo
    Architecture of the Cabildo The Cabildo in New Orleans is one of the most historically significant buildings in Louisiana. It was the seat of Spanish colonial government, the site of the Louisiana Purchase transfer ceremony, and home of the Louisiana Supreme Court. It is now part of the Louisiana State Museum. Learn more about the architectural features of this iconic building! Architecture The Cabildo was built 1794-1799 under Spanish rule. It was designed by Gilberto Guillemard in the classical style, which is modelled on the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. This style was common for eighteenth-century Spanish government buildings and has been used throughout history to convey power and wealth. The wrought-iron balcony railings were created by Marcelino Hernandez, an immigrant from the Canary Islands. The Spanish coat of arms in the pediment was replaced with a patriotic sculpture of an American bald eagle in 1821, a few years after Louisiana became a state, sculpted by Italian artist Pietro Cardelli. In 1847, a third floor with a mansard roof and cupola replaced the original flat roof. This popular French roof style was added in part to match the planned scale of the Pontalba apartment buildings on Jackson Square, which were begun in 1849. These features form an impressive façade that reflect changing influences in New Orleans over time.

The system is suitable for roofs pitched between 3º and 90º, barrel vaulted roofs, conical and domed roofs, and in general almost any type of roof that can be clad in elZinc®. This is a proven traditional system that has been used to install zinc since the origins of zinc roofing itself and continues to be by far the most popular method today. The fine lines of the standing seams give the system its light, attractive appearance and contribute to its flexibility. Modern profiling and seaming technology makes quick work of large roo- fs, decreasing installation times and the associated direct and indirect costs. It can be installed over a ventilated or non-ventila- ted roof construction, allowing the best solution to be chosen according to the characteristics of each project. The fixing is hidden and indirect. It needs a continuous support behind it and normally uses elZinc® sheet thicknesses of between 0.65 and 0.8mm.

DO YOU LOVE A RARITY? Did you know there is a ‘Fresco’ painting in the tower? The ‘only’ modern/20th century Fresco painting in England?
