Construction Period 2015 - 2016
The project has a complex geometry – the steel part dimensions are 73.6 m
in length, 43.7 m in width and 11.3 m in height which can generate multiple
load combinations. The structure will consist of prefabricated pieces and
bolted connections. SCIA Engineer was the best tool for its design.
The graphical display of results in SCIA Engineer helped better
understand the behaviour of the structure. The result-tabs are very
intuitive and summarize all the stresses. We also used SCIA Engineer to
design all steelwork elements. To save time we imported a CAD reference
into SCIA Engineer and created the analysis model from it. Connection
details were finalized in a CAD tool using the SCIA Engineer model.
The design challenges of this project were the architectural limitations;
the sports hall could not be higher than the neighbouring buildings. Also,
the available space for columns was very limited and some restriction was
also applied to the number of columns allowed in the facade. Regarding
the roof, the architectural proposal did not allow for the use of conventional
trusses as a very clean and light structure was required. Therefore, tubular
3D columns were adopted along with ties to balance the stresses in
intermediate supports. It was also possible to use hot rolled beams to meet
the height limitation. If a conventional structure was used, the height would
be greater and many other restrictions could not be met.
