together with Harrer Ingenieure, Karlsruhe
PBB Ingenieure, Ingolstadt
APU engineering, Braunschweig
Wevo Chemie, Ostfildern
Borimir Radovic, Knittlingen
Investor Ayuntamiento de Sevilla
                               
Description The Metropol Parasol was built in the historic center of Seville in Spain. Under its roof the building combines an archeological excavation, a market hall, an urban open-air venue and an extraordinary shadow construction made of timber, with an integrated restaurant and walks offering wonderful views over the town. The structural system is a hybrid construction consisting of timber, concrete, steel and composite steel.

2. Preservation of stone monuments in Angkor, Cambodia

Statics and construction Czech research team in Angkor:

Project director:
Dr. Karel Kranda
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
Nuclear Physics Institute

Head of research:
Doc. Ing. Jan Pašek, Ph.D.
Faculty of Civil Engineering of the CTU (Czech Technical University) in Prague
Department of Building Structures

Team members:
Ing. Jiří Svoboda
Ing. Hansley Pravin Gaya
Otakar Veverka
Notes Several structures have been analyzed.
                               
Description Stone monuments in the Angkor archaeological park, registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are now largely deteriorated and the state of the preserved ones is rapidly getting worse. Thus, international experts are intensely looking into causes of the poor technical condition of these important monuments and are trying to find suitable solutions for their rehabilitation. The Czech research team participates in saving these monuments in Angkor as well, with the five-year research project "Thermal Imaging and Structural Analysis of Sandstone Monuments in Angkor". The program RFEM by the Dlubal company was used to create numerical models and carry out a structural analysis.
