Relex built a new establishment in Aartselaar that contains a showroom, an office space, a workplace behind the showroom, a public wellness areas in the cellar underneatch the showroom and a loft on the top floor. Customers can relax and enjoy their time in the loft with an indoor terrace. As this project contains multiple compartments which overflow horizontally and vertically, a prefabricated concrete structure (fire resistance of 2h) was used for the central area between the work space and the showroom. Thanks to the fixed connection with the foundations, the central structure also provides the required horizontal stability for the entire building because there was no bracing allowed behind the glass sections in the walls. Due to the relatively high groundwater table and the depth of bottom plate, the cellar was designed to bear the vertical loads of all the floor levels and also the upward loads of the groundwater. This entire project, the cellar included, was modelled in SCIA Engineer. Apart from dimensioning, the steel structure, the rebars of the prefabricated concrete elements and the cellar were determined in SCIA Engineer. Afterwards, the model was exported to X-STEEL by the drawing department of edibo to trace this project further. Relex - Aartselaar, Belgium
