Large depots with a free span of up to 12 m and mobile loads of 17.5 kN/m² needed to be built with concrete walls and prestressed TT-elements. The entire building is a firm concrete structure with 3 basement floors, a ground level and 5 upper floors on the front end and 2 basement floors, a ground level and 2 upper floors with a steel structure roof on the back end. The software was used for the following studies: the detailed design of the foundation slabs; the overall design of the concrete structure including walls, columns, and slabs; advanced non-linear static calculation of the steel structure for the main roof; and a detailed design of concrete walls and columns. The model of the entire building was an interesting work-tool as it provided a clear view on the descent and the distribution of loads within the concrete structure. However, using this model for detailed design was practically impossible, as the design needed to be divided into several parts, as the calculation of the original model easily took several hours.
