No:8 K:2 D:4 Izmit / 41010 Kocaeli, Turkey Website www.sgmproje.com SGM Project Engineering was established by Structural Engineer (M.Sc.) Burak Alkan and Civil Engineer (B.Sc.) Ertan Danışman in 2014. SGM was founded to deal with the need for high quality industrial plant projects in Turkey and many other countries in the world. With its dynamic and young staff, SGM is an engineering and consulting firm which figures out creative, sustainable and economical solutions for any investment project. SGM Project Engineering is not only specialized for increasing demand of industrial structures, steel buildings, non-structural buildings, logistic warehouses but also civil structures like schools, hospitals and malls. Owner Rixos Hotels Architect Polin Waterparks General Contractor Polin Waterparks Engineering Office SGM Project Engineering Limited Co. Construction Period 04/2014 - 08/2014 Our project is a main platform of an aquapark in Rixos Hotels located in Belek-Antalya, Turkey. The platform measures 6.50 m x 6.50 m and is approx. 22 m high. It is a three-storey platform and its slab material is GRP. The platform is very slender and its location is very windy. Antalya is located at the 2nd earthquake zone of the Turkish seismic hazard map. In addition to vertical dynamic loads, there is lateral loading caused by wind and earthquake. To deal with this we used portal braces. The most difficult part of this project is the importance of water slides and starter locations. We had to locate starters and water slides at their exact locations in our modelling data. Thanks to SCIA Engineer’s BIM capabilities we could import whole water slides and starters into the model. In this way 1D members were located in their exact locations and 2D openings were created around them easily. The design and optimization of the steel structure was done according to the AISC-ASD standard. Earthquake calculation was also done taking into consideration the Turkish Earthquake Code and using modified seismic spectrums. SCIA’s Engineering Report documentation tool was used for the presentation. SCIA Engineer is the best “co-worker” for our daily work and signature projects.
