245 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 5: Special Projects Category 5: Special Projects 5 This project is about the public transportation terminal of the Rotterdam Central Station. This building has a length of 250 m, a width of 155 m and a maximum height of 17 m. It is a transparent construction with a glass roof, supported on wooden beams and a steel mainframe of Y columns and beams. The legs of the column have a rectangular variable cross section. The difficulties of this project were: the determination of the most critical section in the structure, taken into account the local buckling of the welded plates, the correct buckling length of the Y columns with variable cross-section and the correct rotation stiffness of the column base.
