Heart Hospital Menen will contain 200 hospital beds. The last phase is a new arcshaped wing which will bring the ground floor up to its final 14,500 sqm and will be finished in 2015. The façade spans the reception area over 13 m and simultaneously cantilevers of 2 m to 3.75 m. Therefore the façade was designed as a concrete arc-shaped ‘Vierendeel’ beam. Scia Engineer made it possible to analyse the global 3D action of loads as well as to analyse the influence of the deformations of the lower structure onto the deformation of the upper structure.
