    The document summarizes key elements of the Milwaukee Art Museum expansion project, including a new pedestrian bridge, the Quadracci Pavilion, and the Burke Brise-Soleil sunscreen. The pedestrian bridge spans 71 meters over a road and connects to the new museum entrance. The Quadracci Pavilion serves as the grand entry and is constructed out of custom-fabricated steel A-frames and glass. Above the pavilion sits the Burke Brise-Soleil, a movable sunscreen with two large wings that can be rotated to control sunlight and is supported by a rotating spine structure.

    The document discusses the design of the pedestrian bridge and Quadracci Pavilion for the Milwaukee Art Museum expansion project.

    The pedestrian bridge is designed to span over Lincoln Memorial Drive and serve as a link from downtown Milwaukee to the new entrance of the art museum.

    The pedestrian bridge is a cable-stayed structure with nine locked-coil cables and 18 back stay cables supporting its 10 main spans. Its main section is a five-sided closed steel cell with a stressed-skin structure for load resistance.

    Pedestrian Bridge
    • Pedestrian Bridge Oriented on the
    same axis as the pavilion spine, a
    cable-stayed pedestrian bridge
    spans 71 m over Lincoln Memorial
    Drive and serves as a link from
    downtown Milwaukee to the new
    entrance
    • Nine locked-coil cables and 18
    50M back stay cables support the 10
    main spans of the bridge.
    • The 15-m back span is supported
    73M 48 by two steel rods anchored to the
    pavilion, while the nine front
    cables are supported by the 60-m-
    GROUND LEVEL long leaning steel pylon.
    • The pylon is circular in cross-
    section and varies in diameter
    throughout its height.
    Pedestrian Bridge
    • the main section of the bridge
    is a five-sided closed steel cell
    with a stressed-skin structure,
    measuring 0.6 m deep and 5 m
    wide with a 0.6- m-high
    parapet. The cell has no internal
    beams or girders and acts as a
    tubular member resisting live,
    dead and wind loading.
    • The stressing allows for more
    transverse load with less 15
    deflection.
    • The “boomerang” bridge
    abutment is formed from
    welded plate steel plate and is
    anchored at the top to the west
    end of the pavilion ring beam
    and supports the pylon base.

    Quadracci Pavilion
    • The project's steel-and-glass
    Quadracci Pavilion, which
    will serve as the grand entry
    into the expanded museum
    • erected over a concrete ring
    beam immediately south of
    the low-lying galleria
    • Seventeen specially built A-
    frames, ranging in length
    from 98 feet to about 27
    feet, trucked in from
    Portland, Ore., for assembly
    and placement on the work
    site.
    • The A-shaped rafters were
    computer-designed and
    custom-fabricated by
    Columbia Wire and Iron
    Works. Together, they'll give
    the pavilion its shape,
    strength and transparency.
    • Components for the A-
    frames were cut out of big
    sheets of steel plate,
    welded together, ground
    and finished.
    • Shapes were determined
    digitally from a
    computerized model of the
    pavilion and its underlying
    structure
    • Once the A-frames have been
    placed on the oval-shaped ring
    beam, glass panes will be
    inserted, followed by a three-
    piece steel spine.
    • The fixed 'building spine' will top
    off the A-frames. Above it, two
    rotating spines will support the
    movable wings of the Brise-Soleil,
    an enormous sunscreen that can
    be positioned to admit or keep
    out sunlight.
    • Light is crucial in the concept and
    operation of the pavilion. By day,
    it will have natural light. At night,
    artificial illumination will be
    provided by powerful lights set
    low around the concrete ring
    beam.
    Burke Brise-Soleil
    • The movable Burke Brise-
    Soleil, resting on top of the
    breathtaking glass and steel
    atrium above the Quadracci
    Pavilion.
    • This element features two
    very large wings, each
    composed of 36 steel
    rectangular tube fins having
    a constant cross-section
    width of 330 mm, but
    varying in length, depth, and
    thickness which are rigidly
    connected by steel spacers.
    • Each wing is supported
    by a rotating spine, to
    which all fins are
    connected.
    • The two rotating spines
    are in turn supported
    by the building spine,
    and 11 pairs of
    hydraulic actuators
    turn the rotating spines
    90 degrees to fully
    open or close the
    wings.
    • The biggest challenge in
    the design of the Burke
    Brise-Soleil was to
    understand the behavior
    with wind load on the
    structure.
    • A wind tunnel study was
    conducted using a 1:400
    aeroelastic model which
    included the sunscreen, a
    portion of the underlying
    structure, and
    surrounding buildings in
    downtown Milwaukee.
