109 Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 Owner Decomo NV Architect Wim Desloovere BVBA General Contractor Alheembouw NV (General), Snoeck Gebrs NV (Steel) Engineering Office Snoeck Gebrs NV, Predesign by Establis NV Construction Period 11/2015 - 03/2016 This project consists of a steel structure for a new concrete batching facility with a height of 22 m. Inside this building, 38 large size storage silos are placed, each silo equipped with its own steel support. For this project, the load panel feature together with the 3D wind generator significantly shortened the required time to model all apply loads fully according to the Eurocode, correctly taking into account the complete shape of the building. Also, the mobile/train load feature was used for the effects of the local hoisting cranes inside the building. A non-linear static calculation was performed, correctly taking into account the effect of ‘only tension’ members. The EC3 steel and stability check was performed, together with a check of the occurring deformations. The model was then used for the design and calculation of the steel connections.
