Résumé : |
Sports stadiums, skyscrapers and airport terminals are just three examples of the incresing number of new building going up in metropolitan areas at a breathtaking rate. They predominantly feature roofs and frames made of steel, because steel skeletons have a low dead load, but a high loas-bearing capacity and are usually quick and easy to assemble. However, the higher and larger the building, the greater the importance of the protection. |
