Train Shed Roof at Munich Central Station

Dlubal client Werner & Balci was commissioned with the fundamental renovation of the wide-span roof of the train shed at Munich Central Station. The particular challenge lies in the fact that the renovation is to be carried out while the station remains in operation. To ensure optimized information and interface management, the planning process is being conducted using the Building Information Modeling (BIM) method.

Rail Hall Roof Munich Central Station

The train shed at Munich Central Station is a complex renovation project. The steel structure consists of beams, trusses, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners, as well as metal sheets, complemented by supplementary reinforcements, such as cables. The cables, with a diameter of 40 mm, form a lightweight reinforcement structure that requires minimal installation effort. They run in a polygonal pattern along the main beams, aligned with the moment line. The cable prestressing is 200 kN.

The project also includes reinforced concrete components: Concrete slabs are placed on the roof, and the foundations are located in the lower section. Overall, this is a highly complex structure with over 20,000 members and more than 200 different steel cross-sections.

Thanks to the powerful 3D modeling capabilities in RFEM, all steel and concrete components can be calculated precisely, and the load-bearing capacity of the structure can be efficiently checked.
