Arc-et-Câble: Construction Method

This lecture serves as a complement to the study of the Papeterie Burgo structure, focusing on the cable and roof system. The instructor explains the modeling of the cable, the introduction of additional elements for support, and the behavior of the structure under asymmetric loads. The lecture delves into the concept of self-anchored suspension systems, rare due to the need for specific construction methods. The instructor also discusses the construction process of the roof, highlighting a unique approach involving pylons, central cables, and lateral elements. By analyzing the compression and equilibrium within the structure, the lecture showcases a distinctive construction method that eliminates the need for anchor blocks. The session concludes by emphasizing the structure's design as an arc-and-cable system, providing insights into its construction and functionality.
