Project Overview
Lambda Engineering provided structural design and detailing services for a uniquely curved steel arch enclosure system developed for a public park aviary. The structure features a series of tubular steel arches arranged along a curved plan to support a tensioned cable net and mesh roofing system, forming a natural and unobtrusive enclosure for birds.
Design & Engineering Features
Structural Type: Arch-frame system with continuous curved tubular members.
Span & Geometry: Large free span with parabolic curvature — designed to achieve visual lightness while maintaining high stiffness against wind uplift and net tension.
Members: Circular hollow steel sections (CHS) used for improved torsional rigidity and aesthetic uniformity.
Roof System: Stainless-steel cable mesh stretched between primary arches and intermediate bracing frames, providing enclosure without obstructing daylight or ventilation.
Anchorage: Each arch base anchored into reinforced concrete pedestals with pin connections allowing controlled rotation and tension balancing.
Environmental Integration: Designed to blend with surrounding terrain contours and minimize foundation footprint.
Engineering Highlights
Full 3D structural modeling and finite element analysis performed to simulate cable tensioning effects and lateral stability.
Structural steel designed per AISC 360 and BS EN 1993-1-1 codes.
Wind load analysis conducted per ASCE 7-16, considering aerodynamic uplift due to the canopy curvature.
Assembly optimized for modular on-site erection and minimal welding.
Outcome
A visually elegant yet robust aviary enclosure achieving both functional and architectural goals — combining precision steel engineering with environmental sensitivity.
