External View of Grand Canal Theatre
The Grand Canal Theatre is a new landmark development on the Dublin docklands with great cultural importance for Dublin. The design and construction of the theatre was a challenging task for the design team as well as the contractor. One particularly intersting aspect is the use of saw-tooth connections for the first time. Steel to concrete connection details had to allow for the potentially large deviation between steel fabrication and in‐situ concrete construction tolerances, resulting in the use of a saw‐tooth connection for the first time in building engineering.
