Owner AB Hanner Architect Arches General Contractor UAB Promola Engineering Office UAB ACON Engineering, MB Pramonės inžinerija Construction Period 10/2016 - 12/2017 The administrative building, which is designed in the centre of Vilnius city, will be one of the largest office buildings of its kind. Its length is 150 m, width 18 m and height 30 m. It will have seven floors, and approx. 15,000 square metres of commercial area. All that without a huge parking area under the building! The whole building is designed to be made from monolithic reinforced concrete more or less. So, the model is based on 1D elements – concrete columns, beams, and 2D elements – concrete slabs and walls. After importing architectural plans in the model, it’s easy to place walls, columns and floor slabs. The next step, is to copy the 1 st level, and make 7 floor levels with minimal corrections. Without connections, such as nodes, intersections and slab ribs the program won’t understand what is designed, so connection of nodes command in SCIA Engineer is very useful. The building has to be stable in all directions, and as it is quite narrow in width, a stiffening stairwells core from concrete walls was inputted over all seven floors, and all column–slab connections were made rigid. As a result, the building would have the maximum stability in case extreme wind loads occur. Each calculation model of a different building is only a calculation model. It is not intended to be identical geometrically as the architects designed, but it is important to come close with this calculation model, to understand the building’s behaviour in a real environment.
