First Steps with RFEM
Description
With an area of 10,200 m², the North Surrey Sports and Ice Complex includes three ice rinks, event rooms, restaurants, as well as outdoor areas.
StructureCraft, a customer of Dlubal Software, was selected as the structural engineer and builder of the roof structure for this exciting local project in Surrey, Canada, after proposing a turnkey, value engineered solution in late 2017.
StructureCraft worked alongside Francl Architecture, Bogdonov Pao, and Lark Group to engineer and build the hybrid timber/steel roof structure for the three rinks in North Surrey.
The long-span hybrid timber/steel trusses consist of a double glulam top chord, steel rod tension chord, and HSS king posts. There are 11 trusses per rink and the secondary frame consists of double span pre-fabricated timber panels.
The StructureCraft engineers used RFEM for the analysis of each truss system, determining the main member stresses as well as performing a stability analysis using RF-Stability.
