Abstract:
Intertwined Reinforced Concrete – National Veterans Memorial and Museum, Ohio, USA The main structure of the National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) in Columbus, Ohio, USA consists of three concentric, freely shaped rings made of in‐situ concrete. Each of these rings is composed of a series of nested/intertwined arches. This design element, which is visible from the outside and inside, supports the roof of the 61m in diameter measuring building. In its inside, the building hosts galleries and event space, training and office space. Following the rings, an external ramp winds up onto the building's spacious roof terrace, which can be used for events and commemorations. The rings have been constructed in architecturally demanding exposed concrete quality. This article refers to free‐form concrete architecture of the past and features the special characteristics of the geometry and its effects on the reinforced concrete design, modelling and construction.
