BUILDING OF A PAVILION

The new pavilion of the exhibition of Bologna is an integral part of the detailed plan that dimension the exhibition district either for a bigger visitors flow or for a greater number of scheduled exhibitions The project is characterized of a rectangular plan of 180x76 metres and its development is a typical two floors section for an useful area of 23700 square metres. The project is by Benevolo's Architect Office and structure project is by Prof. Massimo Majowiecki. The covering structure is supported by a reinforced concrete bearing columns. The bearing and prestressed reticulated beams are coupled with a 7 metres distance; A secondary longitudinal warp of renforced purlines is supported by these beams. The supporting beams set, made of teflon stainless steel, allows the thermal epansion in the beam direction.

 
 

THE COVERING SYSTEM

The sandwich system is composed by: below corrugated plate, vapour barrier, purlines, thermic insulation, exthernal roof covering in prepainted aluminium Riverclack 55, in addition to skylights and shapes for ventilation and smoke evacuation

 

 

Our Riverclack 55 system was selected for this big project for its important performances and fidelity assurance.

Riverclack 55 is a metal covering system for flat roofs, but for this project is used olso for its adaptability with the 300 metres ray depressed arch bearing structure.

Moreover, the 0,8 mm thickness aluminium sheets createa low weight on the structure.

The sheets were producted in a single element long as required from the structural arch development, without crossed joints.

 

The 73 metres sheets were produced directly at the site of erection, for a clear transport problem.

The anchors of the roof without through perforation and the draining joints guarantee a total waterproof, even if the roof is completely flooded.

The reinforced sliding and anti-friction polyamide braket permits a free movement of the sheets following the alterations of the below structure. The system gurantees unalterable walkability, resistance to wind suction, and durability equal to the used metal.
