As part of E.ON’s nationwide expansion of high-power charging infrastructure in Germany, a modular and standardized structural solution was developed for charging stations with a power output of up to 400 kW.
Structural analysis was performed for the structural system, and the charging stations were successfully installed at several locations in Germany and Switzerland.
The developed solution is based on a parametric and repeatable design methodology to ensure efficient standardization. The structure was designed based on wind loads of 30.0 m/s (q < sub> p < /sub> = 1.20 kN/m²) and snow loads of 2.0 kN/m². The analyses in RFEM were performed according to Eurocodes (DIN EN). Among other things, global imperfections were assumed, and the calculation was carried out using a second-order analysis.
The building uses SWT Green Steel, an innovative material that achieves a CO₂ reduction of approximately 335 kg per ton. Compared to conventional blast furnace steel, this material provides an impressive 80% reduction in CO₂ emissions.
The structure was independently reviewed by a certified structural engineer in Germany, and the structural design was approved.
