Report Steel, Hangar

1/10

I. Objective

The purpose that I do the research about Hangar is I want to know about how they build hangar

from the foundation to the end and the process to build it step by step. After doing this research I

can understand some information that I never ever knew before about hangar.Now, I will show

everyone a few examples of many different aircraft hangars. Why steel for hangars?

II. General Information

A hangar is a closed structure to hold aircraft orspacecraft in protective storage. Most hangars are

built of metal, but other materials such as wood and concrete are also sometimes used.Hangars

protect aircraft from weatherand ultraviolet light. Hangars may be used as an enclosed repair shop

or, in some cases, an assembly area. Additionally, hangars keep secret aircraft hidden from

satellites orspy planes.

Steel is one of the strongest construction materials available on the market, and provides maximum

stability and resilience against even the strongest winds. Using only the highest quality steel and

premium components, these hangars provide incredible strength with straight walls, square corners

and sturdy studs and joists. Although a lightweight material, a steel hangar is always well-secured

and bolted to its concrete foundation, ensuring strength and protection against even the strongest

winds.

III.Architectural description

Careful analysis of the following will allow designer to determine the space needs for general

spaces listed above common to aircraft hangars.

Identification of the type of aircraft that will populate the hangar.

Identification of the aircraft mix that will populate the hangar.

Identification of the aircraft maintenance functions that will be performed in the facility.

IV.Structural Description

The world's largest aircraft hangar, the massive new Royal Airwing Hangar complex at the Dubai

International Airport in the UAE, is now home to the Dubai ruling family's private

aircraft.Construction started at the end of January 2006, and it was opened on 14 October 2008.

The huge open-span, eight-bay Royal Airwing Hangar is 600 metres wide and 110 metres deep,

and will hold up to eight aircraft with a total value that industry experts say may well exceed 2

billion. This includes the 79.8-metre wingspan Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft.

At the front, the hangar has eight sets of doors that span 584 meters, each of which is 25.8 metres

high. At the front of the hangar, the floor-to ceiling height is 30 meters to accommodate the

aircrafts' tail plane; this height tapers to 25 meters at the rear.

Interesting facts on Dubai Airports Emirates Terminal 3 building:

Excavation of over 10 million cubic metres of earth, enough to fill 4,000 Olympic-size

swimming pools.

Some 2.4 million cubic metres of concrete, enough to fill 950 Olympic-size swimming

pools

As much as 450,000 tonnes of steel was used for reinforcement and another 33,000 tonnesof steel was required for the structure. Thats approximately the weight of 850 Airbus

A380s.

Dubai International Airport is an international airport serving Dubai, the largest city of the United

Arab Emirates. It is a major aviation hub in the Middle East, and is the main airport of Dubai. It is

situated in the Al Garhoud district, 4 km (2.5 mi) southeast of Dubai. Due for completion in early

summer, the Dubai Airwing Hangar has eight sets of doors which are 26 metres high and span 570

metres, the length of almost six football pitches.

V. Construction Technology

Connect columns, beams, and girders with bolts, following blueprints and instructions from

supervisors.

Fasten structural steel members to hoist cables, using chains, cables, or rope.

Bolt aligned structural steel members in position for permanent riveting, bolting, or welding into

place.

Pull, push, or pry structural steel members into approximate positions for bolting into place.

Hoist steel beams, girders, and columns into place, using cranes, or signal hoisting equipment

operators to lift and position structural-steel members.

Conclusion

After doing this research i can know about the world biggest airport

place where locate in Dubai. As we see in pictures we can know that steel is

the most important part to make hangar stable. And it is really hard to find any

documentary about the process to build this kind of hangar.
