The train hall of Munich Central Station is a complex refurbishment project. The steel structure comprises beams, trusses, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners as well as plates, supplemented by subsequent reinforcements, for example in the form of cables. The cables with a diameter of 40 mm form a lightweight reinforcement structure with low installation effort. They run polygonally along the main beams, in accordance with the moment line. The cable prestressing is 200 kN.
The project also includes reinforced concrete components: concrete slabs are located on the roof, and the foundations are in the lower area. Overall, it is a very demanding structure with over 20,000 members and more than 200 different steel cross-sections.
Thanks to the powerful 3D modeling in RFEM, all steel and concrete components can be calculated precisely and the load-bearing capacity of the structure can be checked efficiently.
