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 subsequent reinforcements, such as cables. The cables, with a diameter of 40 mm (1.57 in), form a lightweight reinforcement structure that requires minimal installation effort. They are arranged in a polygonal pattern along the main beams, aligned with the moment line. The cable prestressing force is 200 kN (~ 45 lbf).
The project also includes reinforced concrete components: Concrete slabs are placed on the roof, and the foundations are located in the lower section. All in all, this is a very complex structure with over 20,000 members and more than 200 different steel cross-sections.
Using RFEM, all steel and concrete members can be precisely calculated, and the load-bearing capacity of the structure can be efficiently analyzed.
