Design and construction of north terminal building at Detroit metropolitan airport

Huang, L.Y. / Angeles, N.P. / May, H.R. / Thornton, K.C. / Korb, J.L.

Key feature is horizontally curved post-tensioned girders supporting roof, which consists of five independent 70×232 ft post-tensioned panels; each panel is made up of slab, upturned perimeter beams, two horizontally curved girders, and two cross-arm beams; single pair of tapering 60 ft reinforced concrete columns support each roof panel; columns vary in cross section from four-pointed star at base to hexagon at top; combination of board finishing for columns, roof slab and beams, and sandblasting for wall panels; choice of construction method, engineering assumptions, and structural design are discussed.
