Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011

29 Project information Short project description Nemetschek Engineering User Contest 2011 - Category 1: Buildings Category 1: Buildings 1 Owner Haringey Council Architect HMY General Contractor Willmott Dixon Engineering Office AECOM Construction Period From September 2009 to April 2011 Location London, United Kingdom Heartlands High School London, United Kingdom Heartlands High school is a newly build school in Haringey, London and will receive about 1.100 students. The building is situated on an old railway yard, adjacent to the very heavily used East Coast Railway. Concerns over the level of ground-borne vibration due to passing trains led to a program of monitoring and analysis to verify the design of the concrete flat slab structures to limit the vibration experienced by the users to a specific vibration dose value. The analysis was carried out using the Scia Engineer dynamics module by imputing acceleration spectra generated by passing trains as seismic loads.
