155 The New Street Square site is an island site encompassing Bartlett Court and Pembroke Row in the north-south extremities and in the east-west extremities Printer Street and New Fetter Lane respectively. The structural concept for the above site is divided into two sections: Section 1 Sub-structure including Ground Floor Level, also called the Podium Deck. Section 2 Superstructure which generally comprises 4 No. office buildings and a service building New Street Square creates an impact on its surroundings rising boldly and with innovation to replace a cluster of post-war office blocks. It comprises five blocks of contemporary buildings, each with its distinctive characteristic complemented by a series of landscaped walkways. For centuries in this part of the area the commercial impact has been large and it has been a stronghold of the legal profession, but now it will also be open to retail and provide a new focal point incorporating culture, entertainment and shopping to attract even more people. This entry is focusing on 6 New Street Square, also referred to as Block A, which is the tallest of the five blocks with 17 storeys and faces onto the square with its dramatic and graceful architectural features. The building offers a total of 195,000 square feet of premium office accommodation. Sustainability has been central to the design of the development with the holistic concept of social, economic and environmental sustainability guiding many of the key decisions. Although designed to the current Building Energy Regulations, the scheme aspires to approach the new regulations with an improvement of 15% in energy efficiency over the current target requirements. The main difficulties during this project were the existing retaining wall, existing pile foundation and the water pressure. It was a challenge to design new pile foundations for the entire job to avoid a clash with the existing. It required geotechnical expertise to utilize the capacity of the existing foundation as much as possible and to incorporate it into the new design. The requirement of large spans resulted in the use of post-tensioned slabs. The SCIA software was used to undertake a global stability analysis and produce a preliminary design report. It was particularly important to gain knowledge about slab deflections, which was impressively easy to obtain by using the program. With regards to the flat slab design at ground floor level the SCIA software was useful to evaluate Bending moment diagrams and reinforcement requirements for both ultimate and serviceability limit state design. Detailed punching shear checks and designs were carried out using spreadsheets, which determined shear stressed around column supports. These stresses obtained were compared to results obtained from hand calculations. Using this approach provided a very reliable process of checking the design and evaluating the most economic structure. The results obtained from the software have always been checked against manual calculations to check the validity of the output. Overall the program was a useful tool to have in order to enforce and ensure the correctness of manual hand calculations by incorporating the finite element approach.
