107 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 2: Civil Structures Category 2: Civil Structures 2 Preliminary Design of Extension De Brandt-Kade Baasrode, Belgium Owner WenZ - De Brandt Engineering Office Grontmij Construction Period Pre-design only Location Baasrode, Belgium For the elongation of an existing quay wall along the Scheldt, 2 different solutions were chosen out of 5 concepts, namely a combi wall anchored to a sheet pile wall and a combi wall embedded in a relieving platform. The relieving platform is highly influenced by the different construction stages and is supported by non-linear spring-supports representing the soil. The Scia Engineer model clearly shows the influence on the front wall of the loads acting on the relieving platform thus proving the necessity of a model including all structural members for a similar hyperstatic quay wall structure.
