These were difficult for the steel manufacturer to produce, so the DAIZO team counted on Tekla’s software for constructibility – ensuring that the rebar would go through the inclined pillars without any clashes. One of the stadium’s biggest design challenges lay in its ‘Y’ shaped exterior pillars. “We were introduced to the project by an earlier client, as we have experience in dealing with this kind of complexity.” “The steel design of the Saga Natatorium is quite complicated and there are only a few companies that can handle it,” says DAIZO’s Founder and Managing Director, Mr. Due for completion in April 2021, the Saga Natatorium is a 1,300-ton structure with capacity for 1,800 people. So when the region of Saga set out to build a swimming stadium for Tokyo’s upcoming Japan Games, DAIZO was approached to design the stadium’s reinforced steel frame.
It is also relatively light in comparison to other building materials.ĭAIZO Engineering specializes in steel modeling and detailing for the Japanese market. Steel is a highly ductile material that can flex and stretch to dissipate the seismic energy of an earthquake. This is why steel is so common in Japanese construction, with more than five million tons used each year. Japan experiences some 1,500 earthquakes each year, so buildings need to be designed to withstand them. Its earthquake-resistant steel frame was designed by DAIZO Engineering using Tekla software, in a project so ambitious it topped the “Best Sports & Recreation” category in the 2020 Tekla Global BIM Awards. Whether you are exploring the geo sciences, or you just want to find out if you felt that last quake, this app will keep you up to date with the latest Earthquake information.The Saga Natatorium is a competition swimming stadium under construction for Japan Games 2024. This latest edition brings new features and updates to this modern classic. Started in 2003 as a desktop application, it has become a widely adopted standard for video presentations and visualizations of Earthquake information. This edition of Earthquake 3D represents a third generation of this very popular computer program. This database (updated periodically) is built-in to Earthquake 3D and is available even when you are off-line. The Atlas database shows over 4000 years of Historic Earthquake information. In addition to providing several 'live' sources of current Earthquake information, an Atlas database is also included. Filter Earthquakes by magnitude and age with slider controls. Uses "point and drag" to position and spin the Earth. Can import up to four external Earth images that are supplied by the user. Earthquake details include Local Maps, Local News, and Advanced Seismic Information.
Tap on individual indicator 'flags' to show details for each Earthquake. Individual quake indicator 'flags' that show magnitude or depth. Current worldwide Volcano activity display. Data from USGS, European EMSC, British Geological Survey, and New Zealand Geonet. Includes 4000+ years of Historic Earthquake information. Control Speed, Decay, and Sound of Earthquake sequencer loops. A Sequencer that shows Earthquakes as they occurred using animation loops. Solid and wire frame 3D views with transparent Earth ability. Eight different Earth display types that include population and tectonic plate maps. Go where no seismogram has gone before with a fascinating and mesmerizing look at the world's Earthquakes. Earthquake 3D uses animated graphics to show you the "big picture" and visualize large amounts of Earthquake data quickly and easily. Zoom and spin your way around the world with this fully immersive 3D Earthquake display app.
