What are the technical regulations for the structural requirements of large - scale sculptures?

Actually, when making a large - scale sculpture, there are many similarities between the later installation and construction. Therefore, many technical specifications in building structures can also be applied.

Next, we will use a sculpture case to illustrate what the technical regulations for the structural requirements of large - scale sculptures are. For example, for a large Buddha statue, the general situation of the model is that the total height of the main internal skeleton structure of the statue is 50.2m, and the height of the lotus pedestal is 4.2m. The finite - element model of the main internal skeleton of the statue has a minimum planar width of only 3.5m.

According to the provisions of the "Technical Specification for Steel Structures of High - rise Civil Buildings", this structure belongs to an extremely irregular structure in both plan and elevation. A spatial model should be established, and the actual beams, columns, and steel - concrete composite shear wall panels should be simulated using three - dimensional beam elements and plate - shell elements respectively. Appropriate constraints should be applied at the bottom of the main structure, that is, the top of the lotus pedestal. The beams and columns in this structure are H - shaped steels of Q345B, with a design strength of 310MPa; the supporting rods are double - angle steels of Q235B, with a design strength of 215MPa; the steel - concrete composite wall panels are double - layer steel plates filled with concrete, as shown in Figure 3.3. The steel plate material is Q235B, and the concrete strength grade is C30. The elastic modulus of the steel is 206kN/mm², and the density is 7850kg/m³.

It is very important to abide by the technical regulations for the structural requirements of large - scale sculptures. These regulations are also derived from practical experience and precise measurements.
