20 Used software: Scia Engineer The project concerns a structural restoration study of the Winter Garden of the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken, Belgium. The Winter Garden was built between 1874 and 1876 under the authority of Belgium king Leopold II. This greenhouse has a high cultural and historical value due to its importance in development of structural steelwork in Belgium and Europe. In this student thesis a 3-dimensional computational structural analysis is carried out which allows verification of the current structural state. Based upon the results of the structural analysis, different restoration possibilities of the Winter Garden structure are presented. General information of the project The Winter Garden was built between 1874 and 1876.

The Winter Garden was built between 1874 and 1876 under the authority of de Belgian King Leopold II. This greenhouse has a high cultural and historical value due to its importance in the development of structural steelwork in Belgium and Europe. In this student thesis a 3-dimensional computational structural analysis is carried out which allows verification of the current structural state. The study includes the identification of the geometrical and material parameters of the structure, the determination of the symmetrical and asymmetrical load cases and the evaluation of efficiency under all load combinations. The complete analysis is carried out according to the actual European standards: Euro codes EN1990, EN1991 and EN1993. Based upon the results of the structural analysis, different possibilities for the restoration of the construction of the Winter Garden are presented.

In Jette you can find the medical campus and the University Hospital. High quality education and research are central issues. Our research teams are internationally recognised in many disciplines of fundamental and applied research. The Vrije Universiteit Brussel is the largest Dutchspeaking employer in the Brussels Region. Centrally situated in the capital of Europe, our university takes up its role as an ambassador for Flanders and Brussels, in a spirit of active pluralism and open mindness. We offer a quality education to more than 9000 students. Add to that the almost 4500 students of our partner, the Erasmus Hogeschool Brussels; the 400 students at the English-speaking Vesalius College; the 5000 students at the Centre for Adult Education that shares our campus, and the more than 150 research teams working on both our campuses, and you get one of the biggest centres of knowledge in the capital of Europe. Thanks to this expertise and its strategic location, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel is your ideal partner for prestigious research and education with an outlook on Europe and the world. In the Department of ‘Mechanics of Materials and Constructions’ (MEMC) fundamental and applied research is developed on the following themes: 1. Durability - Reliability of polymer based composite systems; 2. Mixed numerical-experimental techniques or inverse methods; 3. Mineral polymers and their composites; 4. Damage mechanics on material and structural levels; 5. Non-destructive testing and experimental mechanics; 6. Design and analysis of constructions; 7. Renovation of buildings and civil engineering constructions. Software and hardware is available for the research on these themes. In the applications, international relations and interactions with industry are a permanent incentive for future developments. CAE Constructive Elements 1 Sam Van Mulders NOMINATION NOMINATION
