Engineering Office Establis Construction Period 07/2013 - 12/2015 A completely new office building for Barco in Kortrijk. The office is made up of two main structures, one for research & development and the other for education. The building has a remarkable structure: it is circular and is an eyecatcher. There are no dilatation joints in the concrete plates, so temperature loads have a great influence on the reinforcement. In reality, the greatest tensions in the plates occur around the rigid cores. The floorplates are in fact constructed with cavities measuring 35 x 35 cm. In addition, the calculation has to consider the great temperature fluctuation of the steel structure that is supported horizontally by the concrete structure. For this reason, the dimensions of the concrete structure with all the possible combinations are calculated in SCIA Engineer. The parameters within SCIA Engineer had to be adjusted to be able to correctly interpret the results concerning the influence of cavities in the floor plate. The output in SCIA Engineer gave a realistic and clear idea about displacements and need for reinforcement.
