Jacqualine from Winnemucca, Nevada - 06/07/10 16:53

yesterday at the UT SoA, a lecture was given by Stanford Anderson about Eladio Dieste, an architect/engineer/builder from Uruguay. Diestes design signature was his development of a masonry brick vaulting technique that allowed the vaults to be one brick thin while simultaneously spanning extremely large distances (in one instance up to 105 between column supports) as well as extremely long cantilevers. this was done through the use of cable reinforcement and a layer of mortar (not visible to the eye). the cable was merely reinforcement the strength of the vaults lay in their catenary curves.
