Physics in architecture. The reason for the stability of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and many other high-rise buildings is the location of the center of mass of the structure close to the ground

Slide 31

How to improve balance stability?

A body (structure, structure) is in a position of stable equilibrium if the line of action of gravity never goes beyond the support area. Equilibrium is lost if the line of gravity does not pass through the area of ​​support. How to improve balance stability? 1. The support area should be increased by placing the support points further apart. It is best if they are placed outside the projection of the body onto the plane of support. 2. The probability of a vertical line going beyond the boundaries of the support area is reduced if the center of gravity is located low above the support area, i.e. the principle of minimum potential energy is observed.

Slide 32

The higher the architectural structure, the stricter the requirements for its stability. The authors of the Ostankino TV tower project are confident in the engineering calculations for the stability of the structure: the huge half-kilometer tower was built on the tumbler principle. Three quarters of the total weight of the tower falls on one ninth of its height, i.e. the main weight of the tower is concentrated below at the base. It would take colossal forces to make such a tower fall. She is not afraid of hurricane winds or earthquakes. The reason for the stability of the Alexandria Column in St. Petersburg, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and many other high-rise structures is the location of the center of mass of the structure close to the ground.

Slide 33

The Ostankino Tower in Moscow is an outwardly light, elegant structure with a height of 533 m, successfully integrated into the surrounding landscape. Rising above the surrounding buildings, expressive and dynamic in composition, the tower plays the role of the main high-rise dominant and a kind of emblem of the city.

Slide 34

Why is the Ostankino Tower stable?

At the base, the tower is supported by ten reinforced concrete “legs” in a ring foundation with an outer diameter of 74 m, laid in the ground to a depth of 4.65 m. Such a foundation, bearing 55,000 tons of concrete and steel, provides a six-fold safety margin against overturning. For bending, the safety margin was chosen to be double. And this is no coincidence, since the vibration amplitude of the upper part of the tower in strong winds reaches 3.5 m! In addition to the wind, the sun became the tower’s enemy: due to heating on one side, the tower body moved 2.25 m at the top, but 150 steel cables kept the tower barrel from bending. Such a grandiose and graceful structure acquired particular expressiveness and harmony because the tower was built without braces and additional fastenings.

Slide 35

It was found that one of the most beautiful and majestic buildings in St. Petersburg - St. Isaac's Cathedral - settled by 1 mm annually. In the 70s the building was closed for restoration: work was carried out to prevent the building from subsiding. To compact the foundation, a solution of a mixture of concrete and liquid glass was placed in it. In such mixtures, friction and viscosity of materials play a special role. Physics studies the laws of friction, and architecture uses them.

Slide 36

An architectural monument is a scientific document, a historical source; the main goal of the restoration is to “read” this document and carefully strengthen the authentic ancient parts of the monument; To achieve the restoration goal, the least amount of work possible is carried out. Modern restoration techniques allow the use of all the latest achievements of construction technology and various physical and chemical methods to strengthen the monument. The materials used for restoration must be similar in appearance to the materials from which the monument was constructed; counterfeiting of the original material is not permitted. Dismantling of original parts of the monument is, as a rule, excluded.

Slide 37

Restoration work is preceded by a thorough and comprehensive study of the architectural monument: full-scale (architectural and engineering) and historical and archival research. The causes of dilapidation, damage, and disturbance of the static balance of the monument are studied on location; A variety of technical means are used to study the condition of structures. Possible ways to eliminate damage and deformation of the monument are clarified and the specific features of the main building materials and solutions are examined. In the course of historical and archival research, all, even indirect, written sources, photographs, paintings, drawings in which the monument is reproduced, as well as other images of it (for example, on medals, seals) are studied.

Slide 38

Learning from nature

Any structure must be durable, and therefore strong. Achieving high constructive efficiency in architectural and construction practice in recent years is achieved by physical modeling of natural forms.

Slide 40

For example, the stem of almost all representatives of the grass family is a straw, thickened at the nodes and hollow at the internodes. This stem structure combines great strength and lightness of construction. The principle of straw structure was used in the construction of the tallest building in our country - the Ostankino TV tower. Architects borrowed from nature the principle of “structure resistance in form.” The strength of a structure depends on its shape: a corrugated structure is stronger than a flat one. Using this principle, folded domes with a span of 100-200 m were built in the USA, and in France they covered a pavilion with a span of 218 m. The strength of arched structures is significantly increased due to membrane films that create pre-stress. This allows the construction of dome-shaped structures of enormous size without columns or even decorative supports.

Theory and practice of urban planning and development

Urban planning covers a complex set of socio-economic, construction and technical, architectural, artistic, sanitary and hygienic problems. Regular planning (rectangular, radial-ring, fan, etc.), taking into account local conditions, construction of architectural ensembles, landscape architecture, etc. serve to streamline the planning and development of cities. The first experiments in streamlining cities and settlements date back to the middle. 3rd - beginning 2nd millennium BC e. In Dr. Egypt and Mesopotamia used to divide the city into geometrically regular blocks. Medieval cities, surrounded by strong walls, had crooked and narrow streets around the castle, city cathedral or market square. Residential areas outside the city walls were surrounded by a new ring of walls, and sometimes ring streets were formed in their place, which, in combination with radial streets, determined the formation of the characteristic radial-ring (less often fan) structure of cities.

Slide 46

The rapid growth of cities from the mid-19th century, then the rapid development of motor transport, the emergence of colossal urban areas (urban agglomerations), and pollution of the urban environment prompted the search for new principles of urban planning (zoning of urban areas, regional planning, urban road systems, types of garden cities, satellite, modern residential areas and microdistricts). The main tasks of modern urban planning are the creation of cities and towns with an individual appearance, the solution of urban environmental problems, overcoming the monotony of standard development, the preservation and scientifically based reconstruction of old urban centers, the careful preservation and restoration of cultural monuments, their combination with modern buildings.

What should the cities of the future be like?

Perhaps the cities of the future will go underground. Today, numerous underground passages are being built, new metro lines and multi-tiered underground garages are being built. There are already over 50 underground shopping centers in Tokyo, and New Ginza Street is built underground. In France, an entire section of the new boulevard went under the Bois de Boulogne, and part of the underground city was opened under Place de l'Etoile. For the 850th anniversary of Moscow, Manezhnaya Square was reconstructed: a huge underground shopping complex with all its infrastructure was opened, making the square pedestrian. Underground cities will most likely play the role of “utility rooms.”

Some architectural ideas: P. Maimon proposed building a suspended city in Tokyo Bay on conical meshes of steel ropes, which is not afraid of tremors and sea tides. R. Dernach developed a project for the construction of cities floating on water. S. Friedman believes that the future belongs to bridge cities connecting Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Blue Cities Ideas. Dollinger developed a project for a high-rise residential building like... a Christmas tree about 100 m high with a support surface of 25 square meters. m with separate branches-apartments, and V. Frishman used a similar idea to develop a project for an 850-story tree house with a height of 3200 m. The foundation of such a tree-city should go into the ground to a depth of 150 m. This giant is designed to accommodate 500 thousand Human.

Strength

Strength is the ability of a material to resist destruction, as well as irreversible changes in shape (plastic deformation) under the action of external loads, in a narrow sense - only resistance to destruction. The strength of solids is ultimately determined by the interaction forces between the atoms and ions that make up the body. Strength depends not only on the material itself, but also on the type of stress state (tension, compression, bending, etc.), on operating conditions (temperature, loading rate, duration and number of loading cycles, environmental influences, etc.). Depending on all these factors, various strength measures are adopted in technology: tensile strength, yield strength, fatigue limit, etc. Increasing the strength of materials is achieved by thermal and mechanical treatment, the introduction of alloying additives into alloys, radioactive irradiation, and the use of reinforced and composite materials.

Slide 56

Equilibrium stability

Stability of equilibrium is the ability of a mechanical system, under the influence of forces in equilibrium, to almost not deviate under any minor random influences (light shocks, gusts of wind, etc.) and after a slight deviation to return to the equilibrium position.

Slide 57

Structural rigidity

Stiffness is the ability of a body or structure to resist the formation of deformation; physical and geometric characteristics of the cross section of a structural element. The concept of stiffness is widely used in solving problems of strength of materials.

Perhaps the towers were built inclined from the very beginning according to the intricate idea of ​​​​a medieval architect, who calculated the slope of the towers so that over many years the fall of the “leaning” towers did not occur. It is possible that the towers were initially straight and then tilted due to one-sided subsidence of the soil, as happened with one of the bell towers in Arkhangelsk. Why are the towers inclined?

On the cathedral square to the east of the cathedral rises the famous leaning tower (Campanile), cylindrical in shape, built in the years. architects Bonann from Pisa, Wilhelm from Innsbruck and others; the tower has 8 tiers, its height is 54.5 m, the deviation from the vertical is 4.3 m; it is believed that the strange shape of the tower was originally a consequence of subsidence of the soil, and then it was artificially strengthened and left in this form.

From the instructions to ancient architects: “You should not spare any labor or dependence on the construction of the sole and the frame.” From the instructions to ancient architects: “You should not spare any labor or dependence on the construction of the sole and the frame.” This is understandable. The foundation is, in the full sense of the word, the basis of the building. Foundation calculations are based primarily on taking into account the force of pressure on the ground: for a given mass of the structure, the pressure decreases with increasing support area. Lack of proper attention to these dependencies can let builders down. For example, according to the original design, the Ostankino Tower was supposed to rest on 4 “legs”. This is understandable.

The authors of the Ostankino TV tower project are confident in the engineering calculations for the stability of the structure: the huge half-kilometer tower was built on the tumbler principle. Three quarters of the total weight of the tower falls on one ninth of its height, i.e. the main weight of the tower is concentrated below at the base. It would take colossal forces to make such a tower fall. She is not afraid of hurricane winds or earthquakes.

Rising above the surrounding buildings, expressive and dynamic in composition, the tower plays the role of the main high-rise dominant and a kind of emblem of the city.

Why is the Ostankino Tower stable? At the base, the tower is supported by ten reinforced concrete “legs” in a ring foundation with an outer diameter of 74 m, laid in the ground to a depth of 4.65 m. Such a foundation, bearing tons of concrete and steel, provides a six-fold safety margin for overturning. For bending, the safety margin was chosen to be double. And this is no coincidence, since the vibration amplitude of the upper part of the tower in strong winds reaches 3.5 m! In addition to the wind, the sun became the tower’s enemy: due to heating on one side, the tower body moved 2.25 m at the top, but 150 steel cables kept the tower barrel from bending. Such a grandiose and graceful structure acquired particular expressiveness and harmony because the tower was built without braces and additional fastenings.

It was found that one of the most beautiful and majestic buildings in St. Petersburg - St. Isaac's Cathedral - settled by 1 mm annually. In the 70s the building was closed for restoration: work was carried out to prevent the building from subsiding. To compact the foundation, a solution of a mixture of concrete and liquid glass was placed in it. In such mixtures, friction and viscosity of materials play a special role. Physics studies the laws of friction, and architecture uses them.

For example, the stem of almost all representatives of the grass family is a straw, thickened at the nodes and hollow at the internodes. This stem structure combines great strength and lightness of construction.

The rapid growth of cities from the mid-19th century, then the rapid development of motor transport, the emergence of colossal urban areas (urban agglomerations), and pollution of the urban environment prompted the search for new principles of urban planning (zoning of urban areas, regional planning, urban road systems, types of garden cities, satellite, modern residential areas and microdistricts). The main tasks of modern urban planning are the creation of cities and towns with an individual appearance, the solution of urban environmental problems, overcoming the monotony of standard development, the preservation and scientifically based reconstruction of old urban centers, the careful preservation and restoration of cultural monuments, their combination with modern buildings.

Strength Strength is the ability of a material to resist destruction, as well as irreversible changes in shape (plastic deformation) under the action of external loads; in the narrow sense, only resistance to destruction. The strength of solids is ultimately determined by the interaction forces between the atoms and ions that make up the body. Strength depends not only on the material itself, but also on the type of stress state (tension, compression, bending, etc.), on operating conditions (temperature, loading rate, duration and number of loading cycles, environmental influences, etc.). Depending on all these factors, various strength measures are adopted in technology: tensile strength, yield strength, fatigue limit, etc. Increasing the strength of materials is achieved by thermal and mechanical treatment, the introduction of alloying additives into alloys, radioactive irradiation, and the use of reinforced and composite materials.

In such an important science as architecture, various laws of physics are used. The most important of them are the law of universal gravitation and Hooke's law. Both laws are closely related to force, one of the fundamental physical quantities. Any form of matter is inevitably subject to the action of physical processes.

I turned to various sources of information about existing large-scale structures in Russia. I was interested in four architectural objects: the Alexander Column in St. Petersburg, the Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow, the memorial complex with the main building “The Motherland Calls” in Volgograd and the Bronze Horseman monument in St. Petersburg.

Any structure must be durable, and therefore strong.

I decided to find out how these large-scale objects are kept on the ground and do not fall. How the laws of physics help them to be in stable equilibrium states.

Introduction. The main question of the project.

In such an important science as architecture, various laws of physics are used. The most important of them are the law of universal gravitation and Hooke's law. Both laws are closely related to force, one of the fundamental physical quantities. Any form of matter is inevitably subject to the action of physical processes. I decided to explore the application of the above laws of physics in architecture.

Relevance of the project.

I chose this topic because I became interested in how architectural structures were built, what construction technologies were used and how physics is related to architecture.

An architectural monument is a scientific document, a historical source.

The relevance of my research work lies in the fact that it is a practical test of the relationship between physics and architecture, which uses the knowledge acquired at school.

Tasks:

1. Find out from various sources what elastic force and gravity are. Determine the degree of influence of these forces on the state of the architectural structure.

2. Find out in what cases problems of stability and strength manifest themselves in specific architectural structures

Goal of the work.

Prove the close connection between architecture and physical laws.

Explore the dependence of gravity and elasticity in architecture.

Hypothesis: I suppose that:

1.The operation of the laws of physics in architecture can change depending on various external factors.

2.Depending on weather conditions, the influence of forces affects differently.

Theoretical part.

Architecture refers not only to a system of buildings and structures that organize the spatial environment of a person, but most importantly, the art of creating buildings and structures according to the laws of beauty.

The word “architecture” comes from the Greek “arkitekton”, which means “skillful builder”. Architecture itself belongs to that area of ​​man where the union of science, technology and art is especially strong.

Back in the 1st century. BC. The ancient Roman architect Vitruvius formulated three basic principles of architecture: practicality, strength and beauty. A building is practical if it is well planned and easy to use. It is strong if it is built carefully and reliably. Finally, it is beautiful if it pleases the eye with its materials, proportions or decoration details.

In architecture, as in no other art, the beauty and usefulness of the functional purpose of buildings are closely intertwined, constantly interacting with each other. An indivisible whole in architecture is created by means of aesthetic expressiveness, the main of which is tectonics - a combination of the design of an architectural form and the work of the material. When implementing his plan, the architect must know many of the physical properties of building materials: density and elasticity, strength and thermal conductivity, sound insulation and waterproofing parameters, functional characteristics of light and color.

Any structure must be durable, and therefore strong. Achieving high constructive efficiency in architectural and construction practice in recent years is achieved by physical modeling of natural forms.

Strength - the ability of a material to resist destruction, as well as irreversible changes in shape (plastic deformation) under the action of external loads, in a narrow sense - only resistance to destruction. The strength of solids is ultimately determined by the interaction forces between the atoms and ions that make up the body. Strength depends not only on the material itself, but also on the type of stress state (tension, compression, bending, etc.), on operating conditions (temperature, loading rate, duration and number of loading cycles, environmental influences, etc.). Depending on all these factors, various strength measures are adopted in technology: tensile strength, yield strength, fatigue limit, etc. Increasing the strength of materials is achieved by thermal and mechanical treatment, the introduction of alloying additives into alloys, radioactive irradiation, and the use of reinforced and composite materials.

Equilibrium stability - the ability of a mechanical system, under the influence of forces in equilibrium, to almost not deviate under any minor random influences (light shocks, gusts of wind, etc.) and after a slight deviation to return to the equilibrium position.

Rigidity - the ability of a body or structure to resist deformation; physical and geometric characteristics of the cross section of a structural element. The concept of stiffness is widely used in solving problems of strength of materials.

How to improve balance stability? A body (structure, structure) is in a position of stable equilibrium if the line of action of gravity never goes beyond the support area. Equilibrium is lost if the line of gravity does not pass through the area of ​​support. How to improve balance stability?

1. The support area should be increased by placing the support points further apart. It is best if they are placed outside the projection of the body onto the plane of support.

2. The probability of a vertical line going beyond the boundaries of the support area is reduced if the center of gravity is located low above the support area, i.e. the principle of minimum potential energy is observed.

Among all sciences, physics occupies an important place, which has especially increased in modern architecture and construction.

The choice of architectural composition is based on data from many sciences: it is necessary to take into account the purpose of the structure, its design, the climate of the area, and the characteristics of natural conditions. Requirements for structural elements of buildings:

Architectural structures must be built to last.

Structural elements (wood, stone, steel, concrete, etc.) that bear the main loads of buildings and structures must reliably ensure the strength, rigidity and stability of buildings and structures.

The higher the architectural structure, the stricter the requirements for its stability.

Since 1829, work began on the preparation and construction of the foundation and pedestal of the Alexander Column on Palace Square in St. Petersburg. The foundation of the monument was built from granite stone blocks half a meter thick. It was extended to the horizon of the square using planked masonry. In its center was placed a bronze box with coins minted in honor of the victory of 1812.

The work was completed in October 1830.

Construction of the pedestal

After laying the foundation, a huge four-hundred-ton monolith, brought from the Pyuterlak quarry, was erected on it, which serves as the base of the pedestal.

The engineering problem of installing such a large monolith was solved by O. Montferrand as follows:

Installation of a monolith on the foundation. The monolith was rolled on rollers through an inclined plane onto a platform built close to the foundation. The stone was dumped on a pile of sand that had been previously poured next to the platform. Supports were brought up, then workers scooped out the sand and placed rollers. The supports were cut, and the block was lowered onto the rollers. The stone was rolled onto the foundation. Ropes thrown over blocks were pulled with nine capstans and raised the stone to a height of about one meter.

Rising of the Alexander Column

The column was rolled along an inclined plane onto a special platform located at the foot of the scaffolding and wrapped in many rings of ropes to which blocks were attached.

A large number of ropes encircling the stone went around the upper and lower blocks and the free ends were wound on capstans placed in the square.

The block of stone rose obliquely, slowly crawled, then lifted off the ground and was brought to a position above the pedestal. On command, the ropes were released, the column smoothly lowered and fell into place.

Sculpture “The Motherland Calls”made of prestressed concrete - 5500 tons of concrete and 2400 tons of metal structures (excluding the base on which it stands).

The statue stands on a 2 meter high slab that rests on the main foundation.

The sculpture is hollow. Inside, the entire statue consists of separate cells-chambers. The thickness of the reinforced concrete walls of the sculpture is 25-30 centimeters. The rigidity of the frame is maintained by 99 metal cables that are constantly under tension.

The sword, 33 meters long and weighing 14 tons, was originally made of stainless steel covered with titanium sheets. The huge mass and high windage of the sword, due to its colossal size, caused the sword to sway strongly when exposed to wind loads, which led to excessive mechanical stress in thethe place where the hand holding the sword is attached to the body of the sculpture. Deformations in the sword's structure also caused the titanium plating sheets to move, creating an unpleasant sound of rattling metal.Therefore, in 1972, the blade was replaced with another one - consisting entirely of steel - and holes were provided in the upper part of the sword, which made it possible to reduce its windage.

Externally, a light, elegant structure with a height of 540 m, successfully integrated into the surrounding landscape. Rising above the surrounding buildings, expressive and dynamic in composition, the tower plays the role of the main high-rise dominant and a kind of emblem of the city.

The authors of the Ostankino TV tower project are confident in the engineering calculations for the stability of the structure: the huge half-kilometer tower was built on the tumbler principle. Three quarters of the total weight of the tower falls on one ninth of its height, i.e. the main weight of the tower is concentrated below at the base. It would take colossal forces to make such a tower fall. She is not afraid of hurricane winds or earthquakes.

According to the initial design, the tower had 4 supports, later - on the advice of the world famous German civil engineer Fritz Leonhardt, the author of the world's first concrete television tower in Stuttgart - their number was increased to ten. The height of the tower was increased to 540 m, and the number of television and radio programs was increased.

The reason for the stability of the Alexandria Column in St. Petersburg and many other high-rise structures islocation of the center of mass of the structure close to the ground.

A body (structure, structure) is in a position of stable equilibrium if the line of action of gravity never goes beyond the support area. Equilibrium is lost if the line of gravity does not pass through the area of ​​support.

Project implementation.

I turned to various sources of information about existing large-scale structures in Russia. I was interested in four architectural objects: the Alexander Column in St. Petersburg, the Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow, the memorial complex with the main building “The Motherland Calls” in Volgograd and the Bronze Horseman monument in St. Petersburg.

Any structure must be durable, and therefore strong.

I decided to find out how these large-scale objects are kept on the ground and do not fall. How the laws of physics help them to be in stable equilibrium states.

Alexander Column.

Architect-Auguste Montferrand. Erected in 1834

The total height of the structure is 47.5 m.

The height of the column trunk (monolithic part) is 25.6 m

Pedestal height 2.85 m

The height of the angel figure is 4.26 m,

Cross height 6.4 m

Bottom column diameter 3.5 m (12 ft), top diameter 3.15 m

The size of the pedestal is 6.3×6.3 m.

The total weight of the structure is 704 tons.

The weight of the stone column trunk is about 600 tons.

The total weight of the column top is about 37 tons.

Conclusion:

I found out that the column was installed manually using simple mechanisms: blocks, inclined planes.

The monument has amazing clarity of proportions, laconism of form, and beauty of silhouette.

It is the tallest monument in the world, made of solid granite, and the third tallest of all monumental columns.

The column stands on a granite base without any additional supports, only under the influence of its own gravity equal to 7040000N=7.04MN

The Column Trunk is the tallest and heaviest monolith ever erected vertically as a column or obelisk, and one of the greatest (fifth in history and second - after the Thunder Stone - in modern times) monoliths moved by man.

And I also found out thatThe reason for the stability of the column is the location of the center of mass of the structure close to the ground.

architectural structure“The Motherland is calling!” Volgograd 1967

Architects: E.V. Vuetich, N.V. Nikitin

Sculpture “The Motherland is Calling!” entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the largest sculpture-statue in the world at that time.

Its height is 52 meters,

arm length - 20 m and sword length - 33 meters.

The total height of the sculpture is 85 meters.

The weight of the sculpture is 8 thousand tons, and the sword is 14 tons.

Conclusion:

I found out that the statue stands on a 2 meter high slab that rests on the main foundation. The sculpture is hollow.The rigidity of the frame is maintained by 99 metal cables that are constantly under tension.

The elastic force is enormous and is balanced by the gravity force of the sculpture equal to 80,000,000 N = 80 MN.

It was a discovery for me that in the hands of this sculpture there were two different swords. The first one, 28 m long, swayed strongly by 1.5-2 meters in a strong wind, which could lead to the destruction of the entire sculpture. They decided to get out of the situation by creating a new sword of greater mass and length up to 33 m; steel with a high carbon content was used, which increased its strength. Now, in strong winds, the deviation of the sword is no more than 1.5-2 cm.

Ostankino Tower Chief designer - N.V. Nikitin.

Chief architect - L. I. Batalov

Height - 540 meters

The depth of the foundation does not exceed 4.6 meters.

The diameter of the base is 60 meters.

The mass of the tower together with the foundation is 55,000 tons.

The conical base of the structure rests on 10 supports

The ring sections of the tower barrel are compressed with 150 ropes.

The average diameter between the legs is 65 meters.

The height of the supports is 62 meters.

The maximum theoretical deviation of the tower top at maximum design wind speeds is 12 meters

Conclusion:

I found out why the Ostankino Tower is stable:

At the base, it is supported by ten reinforced concrete “legs” in a ring foundation with an outer diameter of 74 m, laid in the ground to a depth of 4.65 m. Such a foundation, carrying 55,000 tons of concrete and steel, providessix times safety margin against capsizing. The bending safety factor was selected double. Stressed reinforced concrete, compressed by steel cables, made the structure of the tower simple and strong.

The amplitude of vibrations of the upper part of the tower in strong winds reaches 3.5 m! I learned that the enemy of the tower is the Sun: due to heating on one side, the tower body has moved 2.25 m at the top, but 150 steel cables keep the tower barrel from bending. The elastic force is great, balanced by the force of gravity at 550000000N=550MN.

I admire Nikitin’s progressive idea of ​​​​using a relatively shallow foundation, when the tower would have to practically stand on the ground, and its stability would be ensured due to the multiple excess of the mass of the cone-shaped base over the mass of the mast structure.

Before the construction of the Ostankino Tower, our country used the 160 m Shukhov Tower on Shabolovka-37 (design by V.G. Shukhov) - the lightest structure in the world. She is 95 years old this year. Its lightness is due to the fact that all its elements work only in compression (this ensures the strength of the structure), and the openwork of the structure reduces the weight of the tower.

Monument to Peter I (Bronze Horseman).St. Petersburg

“Thunder Stone” is the basis of the Bronze Horseman’s pedestal.

The monument is unique in that it has only three support points:

The “Thunder Stone” was transported on a wooden platform, under which thirty metal balls with a diameter of 5 inches each (prototypes of modern bearings) were placed. The balls rolled along two

parallel to the gutters. The rock traveled a distance of 8.5 versts (9 km); about 1,000 people took part in its transportation.

Conclusion:

I became acquainted with the conditions of stable equilibrium.

I learned that the monument has only three support points:the hind legs of a horse and the wriggling tail of a snake.

In order for the sculpture to become stable, the craftsmen had to lighten its front part, because the thickness of the bronze walls of the front part is much thinner than the back walls, which significantly complicated the casting of the monument.

I was surprised that they began to cut the stone as it moved from the shore of the Gulf of Finland. However, the Empress forbade touching it: the future pedestal must arrive in the capital in its natural form! “Thunder Stone” acquired its current appearance already on Senate Square, having significantly “lost weight” after processing.

"Thunder-stone" was transported on a wooden platform, under which there werethirty metal balls stacked5 inches in diameter each. The balls rolled along two parallel grooves (prototype of modern bearings).

Conclusion. During the project, my hypothesis was confirmed.

Conclusion

P.S.

I don’t stop there; I will continue to monitor new construction technologies. I will also compare it with the architecture of past centuries and consider the symmetry in the design of buildings.

The height of the monument is 10.4 m, weight approximately 1600 tons.

Some time after creating the project and numerous searches, the foundryman was finally found. It turned out to be Emelyan Khailov, a cannon master. Together with a French sculptor, he selected the alloy of the required composition and made tests. The actual casting of the monument began in 1774 and was carried out using incredibly complex technology. It was necessary to ensure that the front walls were necessarily inferior in thickness to the rear ones, which would give the composition the necessary stability. But here’s the bad luck: the pipe through which the molten bronze entered the mold suddenly burst, ruining the upper part of the monument. It had to be removed and another three years spent preparing for the second filling. This time fortune smiled on them, and everything was ready on time and without incident.After three years of preparation, re-casting was carried out, which turned out to be completely successful. It was according to his drawings that the machine that delighted everyone was made, with the help of which the “Thunder Stone” was transported, which formed the basis of the pedestal of the Bronze Horseman.

By the way, about “Thunder the Stone”. He was found in the vicinity of the village of Konnaya Lakhta by the peasant Semyon Vishnyakov, who responded to an appeal in the St. Petersburg Gazette. The megalith weighed 1,600 tons and when it was pulled out of the ground, it left behind a huge pit. It filled with water and a reservoir was formed, called the Petrovsky Pond, which has survived to this day. To deliver the stone to the loading site, it was necessary to cover almost 8 kilometers. But how? We decided to wait until winter so that the frozen soil would not sag under its weight.Transportation began on November 15, 1769 and ended on March 27, 1770 (old style) on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. By that time, a pier for shipping the giant had been built here. In order not to waste precious time, they began to cut the stone as they moved. However, the Empress forbade touching it: the future pedestal must arrive in the capital in its natural form! “Thunder Stone” acquired its current appearance already on Senate Square, having significantly “lost weight” after processing. The Thunder Stone was transported on a wooden platform, under which thirty metal balls, each 5 inches in diameter, were placed. The balls rolled along two parallel grooves (a prototype of bearings).

The monument is unique in that it has only three support points. In order for the sculpture to become stable, the craftsmen had to lighten its front part, because the thickness of the bronze walls of the front part is much thinner than the back walls, which significantly complicated the casting of the monument.

Conclusion.

Conclusion : As a result of the work done, I learned how important gravity and elasticity are in architecture, and what is the role of the law of stable equilibrium in the construction of architectural structures. I have given four examples of various monuments and sculptures. The laws of physics apply in all of them. The Alexander Column stands only under the influence of its own gravity, which is achieved by increasing the support area. The Ostankino TV tower rests on ten reinforced concrete “legs”, each of which contains fifteen steel cables. This design increases the rigidity of the building. The “Motherland” sword was replaced with a steel one, with holes at the end, which made it possible to reduce its windage, that is, to reduce the impact of wind. And the thickness of the walls of the Bronze Horseman is uneven, which makes it possible to increase its stability.

I won’t stop there, I will conduct experiments and see these laws in action.
