Construction Period 01/2014 - 06/2015
The project involves a luxury villa in an area with very high groundwater
levels. The villa has been fully 3D designed, in the calculations as well as
in the drawings. The layout of the building is a single storey above ground
level complete with a basement. There are lowered floors in the basement
for an indoor swimming pool and various indoor gardens. The basement
construction is made of concrete and steel structures which are fully
beneath the maximum groundwater level. The upper structure is made of
concrete floors and steel structures. The whole building is supported by
piles.
The building was modelled with SCIA Engineer. The high groundwater
levels in the basement result in upward forces which are absorbed by
tension piles. The basement with the swimming pool has been completely
designed using the SCIA software.
Modelling the construction in 3D has provided great benefits. The
basement with the swimming pool is set beneath the groundwater
level, so groundwater creates large upwards forces in the piles.
With SCIA Engineer these forces are easy to determine. By using
SCIA Engineer the deflections could be accurately determined, the
calculated deflections were compared with the real deflections on the
building site. These deflections corresponded very well.
