32. Case Study III: MAGAZINI GENERALI

The Magazini Generali, constructed in 1924 by Maillart in Chiasso, serves as an exemplary case study in the integration of aesthetic appeal with structural engineering. Key aspects of the structure include its innovative internal supporting frames and load calculations, which demonstrate effective strategy in managing forces through symmetrical reactions and internal shear forces. Different load components are analyzed, culminating in an exploration of internal forces, shears, and moments essential in structural stability.
