Resumo
This paper addresses the investigation of the performance of a
structural membrane roof project for an amphitheater in Ouro Preto, Brazil. It
aims to improve the geometry of the roof structural system in order to
withstand structural loads with minimal system mass. This investigation is
based on nonlinear structural analysis. A set of design parameters was
investigated leading to eight models with different geometry. The numerical
analysis and comparison of the models showed that the optimal performance
of these structures is a result of the refined adjustment of the spatial
arrangement of the whole structure and the geometry of the membrane aiming
for the form that reveals the best load path and improves the cooperative
interaction among all components.
