Bratislava M.R. Štefánik Airport Terminal Hall Steel Structure

AbstractThe first stage of M.R. Štefánik Bratislava airport new terminal hall was put into function in June 2010. The second stage, after complete transfer of the operations from the old “Blue” terminal and its demolition, is under construction at present (early 2012). Steel structures constitute a roof and facade supporting structures of terminal hall, while interior floors and vertical structures are made from reinforced concrete. Paper is introducing the structure geometry, static scheme and characteristics. Specifics and solved problems as steel and concrete structures interaction, process of the prestressed bracing elements activation, including internal forces measuring, the solution of complicated multiplanar joints, etc. are described
