Have you seen Water Cube ?

I've seen it, and the fool in it is really amazing.

I've seen it, and it's really amazing inside.

The National Aquatics Center, commonly known as the "Water Cube", is the main water sports competition venue of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, located in the Olympic Park, and will be used for swimming, synchronized swimming and diving events during the Olympic Games, with a construction cost of 100 million yuan. The "Water Cube" is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, and the National Stadium is located on both sides of the north end of Beijing's urban axis, forming a relatively complete image of Beijing's historical and cultural city. Although the National Aquatics Center is called the "Water Cube", it is not actually a cube, but a cuboid.

After the 2014 APEC summit in China, the Water Cube reopened on November 22, 2014, with a 30 yuan ticket** remaining unchanged, and the north and south squares will also be dismantled and opened to the public along with the fountains and water curtains built during APEC. "Water Playground" opened in mid to late December 2014.

The bus lines passing through the "Water Cube" are: 740 Outer Ring Road, 660 Road, 983 Road, Yuntong 113 Road, 944 Road, 753 Road, 386 Road, 658 Road, etc.

An introduction to the Water Cube in this paragraph.

Exterior view of the National Aquatics Center (15 photos) The National Aquatics Center, also known as the "Water Cube", is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, which is the main swimming pool built by Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics and one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. It is designed as a "cube of water" ([h2o]3) scheme that was produced by a global design competition. Construction began on December 24, 2003 and was completed on January 28, 2008.

It and the National Stadium (commonly known as the Bird's Nest) are located on both sides of the north end of Beijing's central axis, forming a relatively complete image of Beijing's historical and cultural city. The planned construction land of the National Aquatics Center is 62,950 square meters, with a total construction area of 65,000-80,000 square meters, of which the underground part has a construction area of no less than 15,000 square meters, and the length, width and height are 177m, 177m and 30m respectively. So far, more than 350,000 compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas Chinese from 101 countries and regions have donated a total of 100 million yuan.

Among them, Cheng Yutong, Cheng Kar-shun and their subsidiaries have donated 50 million yuan. After the Olympics, the Water Cube and the Bird's Nest have become new landmarks inside the Water Cube.

Pick up post:

Each air pillow has separate inflatable and bleed ports, so even if one of them is damaged, it will not cause "water e68a8462616964757a686964616f31333332633333

Cube" overall "deflated". Moreover, the air pressure of the air pillow is controlled by a computer, which can be monitored at any time, and in case of rupture or air leakage of the outer membrane, the staff can repair or replace the damaged outer membrane within 8 hours. Small areas of damage can be repaired with a special adhesive tape similar to a band-aid.

I will "wash my face" myself

ETFE membranes are highly self-cleaning. Due to the small coefficient of friction of this material, it is not easy to adhere to dust. Even if there is some dust, a little rain will wash the film off immediately.

In addition, the depressions between the "bubbles" also help to accumulate water, so that the "water cube" does not grow mold due to standing water.

More than one color.

Is the "Water Cube" blue?

Not necessarily. The "Water Cube" during the day is pale blue. However, the "Water Cube" at night contains infinite possibilities, which can change colors and be combined into various patterns, the secret of which lies in the fact that each air pillow bubble room on the exterior wall of the "Water Cube" is equipped with 36,000 LED lights. By the time of the Olympic Games, the "Water Cube" will change its rich colors and become a beautiful scenery in the Olympic Central Area.

Air pillows filter light.

The "Water Cube" membrane structure air pillow is covered with plating dots that are invisible to the naked eye, and its raw material is a high-temperature resistant ink. Sunlight entering the venue must be filtered through the plating point, and part of the light will be reflected back into the air by the plated point, and only the light required in the venue will be filtered by the plating point and allowed to enter.

The number of plating points for each air pillow is different, with the minimum plating point area being 10% and the maximum being more than 50%. In summer, the sun is relatively abundant, and most of it shines on the top surface, so there are more plating points of the membrane structure in those places; In winter, there is less sunlight, and most of it shines on the façade, so there are fewer coating points on the membrane structure inside.

On average, the Water Cube uses natural light for nearly 10 hours a day, and with the collection of waste heat from air conditioning and the electricity saved for heating the pool water, it is 9% more energy-efficient than the relevant national standards.

After more than four years of construction, the National Aquatics Center, one of the landmark buildings of the Beijing Olympic Games, was completed and delivered on the morning of the 28th.

version of this is called.

There is a lot of magic about the "Water Cube" building.

The car can't be crushed.

The building envelope of the "Water Cube" is a two-layer ETFE (tetrafluoroethylene) membrane structure inside and outside, consisting of more than 3,000 air pillows, covering an area of 100,000 square meters. These pillows vary in size and shape, from the largest one being about 9 square meters to the smallest being less than 1 square meter.

This material is lightweight, but the strength is beyond imagination——— and experiments have proved that after the air pillow is inflated, the car can be pressed over without any problems.

In addition, the ductility and fire resistance of this material are also very prominent, and it will not break when it is pulled three to four times longer than itself, and it can only be burned into a hole when it reaches more than 715 degrees Celsius, but it does not spread, there is no smoke, and no combustibles fall.

Band-Aid" patching.

The biggest threat to the membrane structure of the air pillow comes from the birds, because their claws are hooked on the surface of the air pillow and can easily cause scratches on the surface. To do this, the construction party laid a very thin steel wire mesh on the top of the "Water Cube" to stop the birds from flying. In addition, in order to prevent vandalism, the "Water Cube" is surrounded by a two-meter-high guardrail, and there is also a moat with a width of 6 meters and a depth of 6 meters.

Unraveling the mystery of the Water Cube's record-breaking world: the pool deepens by one metre.

Phelps broke the world record again to win his fourth gold medal at the Water Cube. Not only the "prodigy", but almost every final has improved the world record by a large margin, and almost all the competitors have swam their best here. The magical "Water Cube" has become the birthplace of one new world record after another, and the "Water Cube" has become a blessed place for swimmers from all over the world.

Is it the sudden improvement of swimming skills in countries around the world, or is it the secret hidden in the beautiful and magical "Water Cube" swimming pool?

On August 10, the first day of the swimming competition, three world records were set here, much to the delight of the athletes.

Phelps broke the world record in the men's 400m individual medley and won the gold medal, followed by Australia's Rice breaking the world record in the women's 400m individual medley and winning the gold medal. In the evening in the men's 4 100m freestyle heats, the United States set a new world record.

On August 11th, the "Water Cube" swimming pool "crazy" broke 5 world records in one day! U.S. swimming superstar Phelps and his teammates won the gold medal in the men's 4,000m freestyle relay, and improved the team's world record set in the evening heats on the evening of the 10th by nearly four seconds, and the top five in the race all broke the world record. In the 100m breaststroke final, Japan's Kosuke Kitajima broke the world record by seconds to win the championship.

In the semifinals of the women's 100m backstroke, Zimbabwe's Coventry broke the world record in 58.77 seconds. Italy's Manuel Pellegrini broke the world record in the women's 200m freestyle heats!

On the 12th and 13th, one after another the original world records were made old, and new world records were constantly born in the "Water Cube". This can't help but make many people suspicious. New Zealand's 200m butterfly swimmer Moss Bourmeister, who was "surprisingly good" even after his first tryout at the Water Cube, said, "It seems like the 50m lane has suddenly become shorter".

Is the swim lane of the Water Cube really short? This is certainly not possible. The pool length of 50 metres is the standard length of the competition set by FINA, and how could such an important competition at the Olympics be wrong at this critical scale.

So why do athletes feel like their lanes are getting shorter? Why are one good result after another constantly born in the "Water Cube"?

It is reported that the "big secret" of the "Water Cube" that allows players from all over the world to improve their performance is under the surface of the pool. The Water Cube pool reaches a staggering depth of 3 meters, which is at least 1 meter deeper than any previous Olympic swimming pool. As we all know, the greater the depth of the water, the less resistance there will be when the water surface is disturbed, so it is not surprising that athletes from all over the world have generally improved their performance in the Water Cube.

It's amazing inside, and it excites the athletes when they go inside.

The National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) is located in the Beijing Olympic Park, one of the landmark buildings of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, with a total construction area of about 100,000 square meters. The construction, management and operation of Beijing State-owned Assets Management **** was responsible for the construction, management and operation, which started on December 24, 2003 and was completed in January 2008.

During the 2008 Olympic Games, the National Aquatics Center undertook swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, water polo and other competitions, with a capacity of 17,000 spectator seats, including 6,000 permanent spectator seats, and 11,000 temporary seats (to be removed after the Games) during the Olympic Games. After the competition, it will become a center with international advanced level, integrating swimming, sports, fitness and leisure.

Similar to the Bird's Nest, the Water Cube also uses traditional lightning protection technology. The underground and foundation parts of the water cube are reinforced concrete structures, and the aboveground parts are steel grids, and the steel structures and the steel bars in the reinforced concrete structure are connected by welding, which together form a cubic cage.

Goosebumps got on the outside of the cube.

China Construction is the use of the latest nano clutch technology, it is said that this technology is the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology Engineering Academician Huang Yujie, Professor Huang Guoshu and Professor Meng Tao and others used nearly 30 years to develop, this technology can be said to be the world's top technology.

It was built in cooperation with a company in China and Australia.
