Abstract

This paper reports the structural performances of the LBT telescope after the detail design phase completion. It explains, through some significant examples of construction drawings, the process of optimization of the manufacturing methods, guaranteeing the main characteristics of rigidity and masses of the mechanical structures of the telescope.
