107 Category 3: Industrial Buildings and Plants 3 Owner Kann GmbH Baustoffwerke Architect UBO Engineering BV General Contractor Ferross Staalbouw Engineering Office Snetselaar Constructieve Ingenieurs Construction Period 2016 - 2017 The project involves the engineering of a tile factory in Urmitz, Germany. The concrete mixer platform is one of the components of this manufacturing plan. The dimensions of the platform are approximately 14 x 4.3 m with a total height of 12.3 m. The total weight of the silos on top of the platform is 360 t with an extra height of 10.7 m, which makes the total construction very slender. There are various loads applicable, namely loads from: concrete mixing, lifting materials, crane rail, storage, earthquakes, persons and wind. For this project, we used a non-linear static analyse in combination with the steel module for global sizing. We used modules: Geometrically non-linear frames and Dynamic frames module. The Dynamic module was particularly useful for the seismic analyses. The challenge of this project was the complexity of the loads in different directions in combination with the design of the platforms. Through a step by step approach in combination with the use of SCIA Engineer, we managed to make this project a success.
