Structural glass beams are being installed as part of grid shell structure at Zaryadye Park in Moscow. Park is situated short distance from Red Square and the Kremlin.
The grid shell structure was designed to follow the curve of artificially created hill as an open structure. The structure is subject to thermal movements and snow loading and wind.
The main structure is comprised of structural steel elements of approximately 3m long and 300mm deep. Clear less obstructed views were required, therefore more transparency in the structure was necessary. Structural glass beams were suggested.
