Intelligent Quarters Hamburg, Germany
Customer Project
In the center of HafenCity Hamburg, a new building complex with an 18-story high-rise office building, a seven-story office building, a nine-story residential building, and a two-story underground parking garage was constructed.

Model Data of the 18-Story High-Rise Office Building
Model
The property has a total surface area of 97,952 ft² and is located on exposed terrain near a river. For the structural design, influences from the multi-story construction were considered. In addition, a vibration analysis was performed as the building complex is located above the U4 subway line.
Dlubal customer grbv Ingenieure carried out the building structural planning as well as the object and structural planning of the construction area. The engineers of grbv utilized RFEM for the analysis and design.
Structure
The 18-story high-rise office building included a reinforced concrete supporting structure. The loads are transferred to the ground level through the columns and two internal cores, which are also used for building stabilization. The reinforced concrete floors are floating point-supported slabs without supporting beams. The building was designed as a complete 3D finite element model in RFEM and validated with comparative calculations.
The residential building is designed as a compartmentalized construction with linear supported flat slabs. Above the ground floor, long-span wall-like beams were designed to allow columns on the ground floor.
The unique design feature for this building was the positioning above the U4 subway line. Since this is a residential building, it was necessary to provide dynamic damping to counteract the subway vibrations. This was done with an elastic decoupling between the ground floor and the additional upper floors with steel spring damper elements. After this design completion, vibration measurements were taken, which met the client’s complete building requirements.

Defining Design Supports in RFEM 6
To perform deflection analysis in the right manner, it is important to “inform” the program about the exact support conditions of the element of interest. The definition of design supports in RFEM 6 will be shown for a reinforced concrete member set.

Concrete Design | Definition of Effective Slab Widths of T-beams by Segment
Within a member, you can define the integration width and effective slab width of T-beams (ribs) with different widths. The member is divided into segments. The transition between the different flange widths can be either graded or specified as linearly variable. For the reinforced concrete design of the rib, the defined surface reinforcement can be considered as a flange reinforcement.- Can the RFEM 6 Concrete Design add-on automatically design member and surface reinforcement?
- Can I define a different bar size in the RFEM 6 Concrete Design add-on other than the default bar sizes available in the drop-down?
- Why is it not possible to select the user-defined additional reinforcement for the serviceability limit state design in RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces?
- What is the maximum number of reinforcement groups that can be created in a design case in RF‑CONCRETE Surfaces?
- I would like to perform punching design of a floor slab. I have selected nodes for the design, but they are marked as invalid. Where did I make a mistake?
- Is the deformation analysis in state II included in the concrete design in RFEM 6?
- How can I open the interaction diagram from Concrete Design?
- Is it possible to design single-layer reinforced surfaces with RFEM 6?
- Where can I activate creep for concrete design?
- Why are the members not valid for the Concrete Design add-on?
