Passenger terminal extension structure at Split Airport

Abstract

The main load-carrying structure, to be built as an extension to the passenger terminal building at Split Airport, is presented in the paper. The structure is complex and comprises various types of facilities (building, bridge, membrane shed), various load-bearing systems (space truss, space frame, dome, tensioned cable, tensioned membrane), various materials (reinforced concrete, structural steel, laminated wood, canvas, steel cable), and different activities (new construction, rehabilitation). When creating load-bearing structural assemblies, a significant emphasis was placed on architectural shaping. Structural design was made in accordance with prevailing regulations, standards, and rules of professional practice, at an advanced technical level.
