Construction Period 09/2016 - 06/2018 The CNIS (Centre National d’Incendie et de Secours) is the most important intervention centre in Luxembourg, containing fire brigade, safety brigade, brigades control centre, several training units, residential schools, terraced audience room, sport room, offices and records, kitchen and restaurant, garages and parking areas. The global dimensions of the buildings are 225 x 85 m. The centre consists of multiple buildings and 2 bridges with a span of 36.50 m between the buildings. The main construction material is reinforced concrete; some parts with large loads and large spans are designed with composite beams and columns; the main structures of the bridges are post-tensioned concrete elements. The whole buildings are modelled in SCIA Engineer using slab and beam elements. This enables a complete and quick estimation of the loads on foundations; there is no need to export loads/reactions from one model to another (avoiding errors); all engineering can be done in one complete model. A simplified non-progressive collapse analysis is studied for the part of the building including the brigades control centre. The behaviour of the buildings and bridges especially regarding deformations can be well analysed in the SCIA Engineer model. Complete engineering report for slabs are established in SCIA Engineer.
