La stabilité des fondations d’un très grand hall d’exposition était assurée par des tirants précontraints ancrés dans le sol. La rupture de trois d’entre eux a failli provoquer la ruine de l’ouvrage. On décrit la structure de l’édifice, les modalités de la rupture des tirants due à une protection insuffisante contre la corrosion, ainsi que les travaux confortatifs réalisés qui ont atteint 7.616.412 francs français.
Abstract
A case study involving failure of prestressed ground anchors used to support an Exhibition Hall is described. The design of the structure featured a 200-foot span cable supported fabric roof. Details of the structure and design of the foundation system are presented. Failure of the ground anchors caused the cable-supported roof to partially collapse. Investigation of the failure mechanism showed that inadequate anchor grouting and subsequent corrosion of steel in the anchors caused failure. Remedial measures costing over three-fourths million dollars are described.
