The former Diamond Exchange in Amsterdam, now known as Capital C, has been restored to its former glory after a radical renovation. This national monument has not only been returned to its original shape, but also includes a new steel-and-glass roof.
Witteveen+Bos performed seismic analysis on an existing concrete foundation with piers, located in the Netherlands. The connected steel pipe rack and piping system were included in the analysis.
Utilizing a multimodal response spectrum analysis in RFEM, Witteveen+Bos specified unique response spectra to analyze the structural response induced by this seismic activity.
The Landslide Hotel is located near Rotterdam Airport. The multi-story reinforced concrete structure was designed by the engineering office of Van Numen from Rosmalen, the Netherlands, and the structural analysis was performed utilizing RFEM.
For a project in Rotterdam, ADS Ertner used IDEA CONNECTION to analyze a structural steel connection. This program calculates steel connections utilizing the CBFEM method, where each thin-walled cross-section is modeled with nonlinear material properties, nonlinear bolts, and nonlinear welds. In order to transfer loads, ADS Ertner needed to use blocks in the connection model. In IDEA CONNECTION, blocks are not easily integrated with thin-walled plates.
In 2017, VIC OBDAM was commissioned by BAM to fully design the Kasbank project (total weight about 368.17 t) in Amsterdam. This project included a free-standing steel spiral staircase.
At the end of 2013, the "Vechthoeve" was transported over a distance of 1,640 ft. The wooden house, referred to as the "Pippi Longstocking" house, is situated close to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. The villa had to be relocated because of plans to widen the A1 highway.
Janson Bridging in Hank, the Netherlands, produces temporary, emergency, and permanent bridges for civil, industrial, and military use. All these bridges - consisting of several types - are based on modular concepts that can be easily adjusted to the requests of the customer.
