Abstract

The Vnukovo-1 air-terminal complex building of irregular curved configuration in plan in Moscow has the following basic overall dimensions: about 600 m in length and from 70 m to 300 m by cross-section. This building construction was begun in 2006. The manufacture and erection of the roof steel structures were started in 2008. The main conditions for design of roof framing in accordance with a design task are the following: warm building; snow is not removed from the roof; organized water outlet from the roof; the roof enclosing structures are partially translucent; the main load-bearing elements of the roof steel structures are made from the tube round billets; production of the roof framings and their erection are executed by the Russian manufacturers and construction and erection organizations. The report acquaints the reader with design features of the given unique structure as well as those of fabrication and erection of the load-bearing steel structures of roof by the example of one temperature block with plan dimensions of 125x100 m.
