Construction Period 2014 - 2015
Building geometry and structural system
: The foundations combine
bored piles 20 m deep embedded into the bedrock and a foundation slab.
The main load bearing structure has reinforced concrete columns and
cantilever walls with a 6.0 m overhang. The border walls and elevator
walls were designed for maximum building rigidity. The floor slab was
designed with reinforced concrete slab, locally supported by columns.
Design process
: Assessing the real behaviour of a load bearing
structure including its response to variable soil properties requires several
successive calculations with different modifications of input data. It is not
convenient to create the structural model in one step, including different
properties of the load bearing structure, subsoil, materials and methods of
founding. Such a solution is made possible by using an additional module,
“Soil-in”, with analysis of upper structure and subsoil. The structure model
is prepared for future process BIM modelling.
Conclusion
: SCIA Engineer allowed the preparation of several
alternatives of the structure as well. There were more designs in the work
process according to client’s and architect’s demands. SCIA Engineer
allowed for specific structure design of the cantilever building. The real
deflections of the structure correspond to the calculated deflections.
