Scientific paper

We describe the solutions adopted for the most important mechanical subsystems of the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT, formerly Columbus Project), which is now in the phase of detailed design. We report in particular the design and the results of static and dynamic finite element analysis of the open telescope elevation structure, of the azimuth structure, of the cantilever swing arms supporting the auxiliary optics, and of the primary mirror cells.
