Engineering Freedom. Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011
1 Foreword With 117 impressive projects from over 23 countries, the Nemetschek Engineering Contest 2011 is again a big success. The projects described in the contest book illustrate the engineering power of our customers who are increasingly internationally active. The software users competed with projects in five categories: Buildings, Civil Structures, Industrial Buildings and Plants, Industrialized Planning and Special Projects (sustainable, green structures - scaffolding - stadiums...). A variety of software from the Nemetschek Engineering Group has been used: Allplan Engineering, Scia Engineer, Frilo Statics, GLASER -isb cad-, Allplan Precast, Precast Part Manager and/or Scia Steel. The Nemetschek Engineering Group software covers the whole spectrum of structural engineering design and detailing: from member design and detailing up to 3D BIM (Building Information Modelling) and integrated fabrication planning and steering. The Nemetschek User Contest 2011 book gives a close insight on how structures are planned and executed today. We congratulate sincerely the contest winners, and have to thank all contest participants for sharing their experiences with the large Nemetschek Engineering user community.

14 1 Winner - Buildings Prodis plus s.r.o. Contact Daniel Kóňa, Vladimir Kohút Address Račianska 71 83102 Bratislava, Slovak Republic Phone +421 2 4464 5821 Email [email protected] River House - Bratislava, Slovak Republic The River House is the main building of the multifunctional River Park complex on the left bank of the Danube River. The complex consists of four blocks which include 203 luxury residences with a magnificent view of the river, above-standard offices oriented towards the castle hill and a five star deluxe hotel. The four elevated blocks have three common underground storeys, 264 x 53 m, in which parking spaces and technical facilities are situated. Substructure and basement The foundations of the River House comprise 900 and 1.200 mm diameter bored piles embedded to the stone base (idem for the other three blocks). In the basement a “white tank” waterproof concrete system is applied which has to resist hydrostatic pressure from underground water (average height 4-5 m and extreme height 9.6 m). In areas where the counterweight of the buildings is not enough, the basement slab of the “white tank” is anchored into the stone base by prestressing bars. Superstructure The River House has an irregular trapezoidal shape and floors with curved rims. The overall plan dimensions are 104 x 24 mm with one dilatation block. The 3rd - 8th storeys have a conventional bearing structure with flat slabs spanning between columns and cores. As the whole building stands on two cores and a pair of piers, a transfer structure was needed on 1st and 2nd storey. With regard to large spans and cantilever overhangs combined with load from eight storeys, a prestressed concrete structure came across as the most efficient and reasonable solution. A system consisting of two longitudinal and twelve transverse deep beams was proposed to carry the columns of upper storeys. Transverse (secondary) deep beams with the height of one storey (3.100 mm) and thickness of 600 - 750 mm are supported by prestressed longitudinal (primary) deep beams with the height of two storeys (7.700 mm) and a thickness of 750 - 1.000 mm. The largest span of the longitudinal beams is 31.3 m long and the largest cantilever overhang is 15.9 m long. Both of them are prestessed by eight cables consisting of 15 unbonded strands in HDPE ducts. Compressive forces generated by prestressing have affect only on the cantilevers due to high stiffness of the cores and piers. In spans between supports only vertical actions were employed. The application of prestressing has resulted in lower consumption of reinforcing steel and reduction of the thickness of deep beams. In addition its advantageous effect on crack widths and stiffness of the structure is no less significant. The flat slabs of the typical storeys have a complicated shape with several levels, various thicknesses and spans. The largest bay has the span of 8.80 x 7.35 m, and the largest cantilever overhang is 3.45 m long. For loads on the transfer structure a maximal reduction of the slab thickness was needed, but on the other hand the façade and heavy acoustic partitions posed strict claims on the deflection of the slabs. For these reasons the thickness of the slabs varies from 250 mm to 400 mm. Building of the transfer structure The most difficult part of structure was the cantilever above the Danube River for which a special steel supporting structure had to be applied (made-to-measure for this construction). The cables were stressed in two phases to avoid overloading of the structure by vertical actions from prestressing when the counterweight from the upper storeys had not been enough yet. Monitoring of the deformations The façade, mainly in the office part, consists of large glass tables with very tight gaps between them. There are rigid and heavy acoustic partitions in the residential part. These constructions are very sensitive to deflections of the load bearing structure. For these reasons long-time monitoring of deflections had been proposed in the most critical parts of the structure. The last measurements show very good accordance with the results of analysis. Use of Scia Engineer For the structural analysis of this structure IDA Nexis (ESA-Prima Win) was used. The challenges: optimisation of prestressing and dimensions of the structure, detailed seismic analysis, structural analysis, calculation of deflections, etc. The program allowed us to change the structure often during the design process, promptly and easily. Nowadays we are using Scia Engineer and with this program the design process of the presented structure would certainly be still more effective. Prodis plus was established in 1991 by Vladimír Kohút as an office specialized in structural engineering and diagnostics of structures.

16 1 Winner - Special Jury BIM Prize Inginerie Structurala srl Contact Diana Zagaican, Lucian Bogorodea Address Str. Lamotesti No.3-5 041026 Bucharest, Romania Phone +40 723694705 Email [email protected] Orchidea Tower - Bucharest, Romania The owner of this project is the company Europolis Orhideea BC and the firm of architects is BEHF Ebner Hasenauer Ferenczy ZT - Austria. The engineering office is Inginerie Structurala srl and the general contractor is the company: MIMO Group. Structural concept and particularities This project comprises two adjoining office buildings in the shape of a butterfly. Some technical details: • Gross built area: 77.000 m2 • Total height above the ground: 82.80 m • Ground floor + 19 floors + 1 technical floor • Three underground basements • Typical story height: 3.70 m • Technical floor height: 4.00 m • All three basements have a height of 3.00 m Hydrological conditions The site is located on the left side of the Dambovita River and it has three underground aquifers, the upper level is situated at a depth of - 4.70 m. Foundation The underground levels were designed as a rigid box, with a raft foundation of 150 cm in thickness (200 cm under the central cores), basement slabs of 35 cm in thickness and shear walls. From the raft foundation also start circular columns made of steel tubes 813 x 30 mm, filled with concrete C30/37, which continue in the superstructure. Because of the poor foundation soil, the raft foundation will lay on 216 piles, with a diameter of 150 cm and a length of ~18.00 m. On the perimeter of the basements there will be an enclosure made of 80 cm thick slurry walls which are going to - 30.00 m from the ground surface. These reinforced concrete waterproof slurry wall panels will be connected on their top with a strong crown beam. Structure The structure is made of a composite system: steel and reinforced concrete. All columns are circular, made of steel tube 813 x 30 mm, filled with concrete C40/50. Beams (50 x 65 cm) are made of reinforced concrete with IPE360 inside. The coupling beams have sections of 70 x 110 cm and they are made of reinforced concrete with an IPE750 profile inside. On the perimeter of the building there are steel bracings made of circular tubes with a diameter of 300 x 16 mm, placed in X shape, one bracing every six floors. The cores that contain the stairs and elevators are all 70 cm thick, made of reinforced concrete with rigid reinforcement inside. All slabs are 20 cm thick, except for terrace floor that has a thickness of 30 cm, because it has to bear the heavy equipment that will be placed on top of the building. Computation of the structural model The dynamic and static computation was conducted using software Scia Engineer. Because in Romania we are lying in a strong seismic zone, the most important and decisive verification is checking the structure against earthquake. Thus, the fundamental vibration periods of the building are: T1 = 1.29 sec (for a translation on Y - transversal direction); T2 = 1.12 sec (for torsion); T3 = 1.09 sec (for a translation on X - longitudinal direction). Verifications were made for the ultimate limit state and also for the service limit state. The basements were analyzed together with the superstructure. In this way we took into consideration the entire behavior of the building using also a model of soil-structure interaction. The soilstructure interaction was taken into account by modeling the soil as a Winkler elastic support area, using stiffness coefficients as presented in the geotechnical report.

18 1 Nomination - Buildings BESIX Contact Mike Paschalis, Olivier Cremens Address PO Box 13055 Dubai Dubai, United Arab Emirates Phone +971 4 5092509 Email [email protected] Website www.besix.com Software: Scia Engineer Adnoc HQ Tower - Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates The project is located at the Abu Dhabi Corniche and consists of a 75-storey office tower and two levels of basements. The overall building height is 343 m with a gross office area of 160.000 m2 and a helipad on the roof. Challenges BESIX Engineering - Dubai presented an alternative design which resulted in significant savings. Upon award of the project, the redesign had to proceed at a fast rate to enable the commencement of the construction activities within three months. With this difficult design, the choice of software became all the more important and BIM was applied for an effective verification of the alternative design. The design is extremely complex due to the fact that the building is highly asymmetrical. The centre of mass is offset by 3 m due to the fact that the south core walls are only counterbalanced by six slender composite columns. Elastic shortening and long term creep causes the building to twist around its vertical axis and to lean forward towards the column line. The original design relied heavily on structural steel inserts in the walls to provide adequate stiffness. In the alternative design all inserts were removed and additional stiffness was achieved by specifying high strength concrete with enhanced Young’s modulus (E = 48GPa for grade 65/80 concrete instead of 40GPa as per EC). The original columns were square composite with internal steel made-up sections and called for very elaborate fabrication and erection procedures. The BESIX design comprises 1.5 m diameter tubes (tmax = 90 mm) filled with high strength concrete and 20% of original steel. PT beam/ steel column connections are fully fixed for increased stiffness. The original design was as per ACI and IBC codes and the modelling was carried out using ETABS. BESIX applied the Eurocode suite and 3D modelling with Scia Engineer and Revit Structures. Foundations The site is generally characterized by 8 m of sandy material overlaid by bedrock. The foundation system consists of a 3.5 m raft supported on a total of 364 bored piles 20 m long and diameter 1.0 m, 1.2 m and 1.5 m. Seismic and wind loads A site specific study indicated that the project is located in an area of low seismicity, equivalent to Zone 1 UBC 1997 (Z = 0.075). However, to comply with Abu Dhabi Municipality regulations, seismic zone 2a was adopted (Z = 0.15). The wind loading was based on tunnel testing, carried out by BMT. The reference wind speed for 50 year return was 38 m/s (thunderstorm). Structural 3D Modelling - BIM From the very beginning of the tender BESIX opted to use BIM. As a first approach a Revit model was prepared and was then imported directly into Scia Engineer. The model interface works well both ways between the two software and any subsequent changes done in Scia Engineer were exported directly into Revit: Revit - Detailed 3D model of all structural elements used in quantity take-off for concrete, reinforcement, and structural steel and for preparation of 2D drawings exported to Acad. Scia Engineer - 3D model was imported from Revit and loads were introduced including wind and seismic. Scia Engineer was used to analyse the structural behaviour both in terms of global effects (sway and inter-storey drift) and detailed member design. Conclusion The effective interface between Scia Engineer - Revit - Acad allowed BESIX to optimize both the geometry and the final quantities of the building to achieve an overall 20% saving. It also allowed a more comfortable construction schedule through simplified detailing. At the detailed design stage the same interface allows BESIX to maximize the production speed of drawings by using the 3D environment for the coordination between 3D models and 2D drawings. The construction of the ADNOC HQ Tower is currently into its ninth month. The first concrete for the raft was poured in September 2010 and the core walls are at Level 3 above ground level. The erection of the helipad roof is foreseen for May 2012. Once the building is completed it is earmarked to be one of the major landmarks along Abu Dhabi’s Corniche.
