For the construction of a new elementary and high school building in Laupheim, Germany, the city of Laupheim organized an architectural competition, which was won by the Herrmann + Bosch Architekten studio from Stuttgart.
Radoslav Dimitrov, a civil engineering student, took advantage of RSTAB when writing his paper, for which he analyzed a stadium roof. The object of the paper was to design a stadium for soccer matches and athletic sports events, offering space for an audience of 70,000 people. The framework of the roof is a tubular steel structure with 17,791 members in total.
The project for designing a filter/dryer device, including agitator, required a complete stress and deformation analysis in RFEM. The complex modeling of the structure, which had 1,424 surfaces, 158 solids, and 425 members, represented a special design challenge.
The German Bundesgartenschau BUGA took place in Koblenz from April to October 2011. The gazebo, called "Echolot" (referring to the echo sounding used to measure distances), became a real crowd pleaser. The walk-in structure, consisting of approximately 6,000 members made of Douglas fir, was designed according to the principles of bionics.
As the geothermal energy market is continuously increasing, BAUER Maschinen GmbH, a German company working in the field of specialist foundation engineering, has developed a new deep drilling rig. Dlubal Software's German customer Ing.-Büro H.-U. Möller was in charge of the plant's structural analysis. The system is used to make borings reaching to a depth of 22,965 ft in the area of geothermal energy, oil, or gas.
In October 2011, the sailing ship "Alexander von Humboldt II" started service and has been conquering the seas ever since. The ship, operated by the German Sail Training Foundation (DSST), is a barque rigged with three masts. The masts and hull consist of steel.
The 5-story residential building with an impressive ecological balance was presented at the International Building Exhibition (IBA) in Hamburg, Germany. Being CO2-neutral in both its production and operation, the Woodcube's energy level corresponds approximately to that of a passive house. All material used in the timber cube is completely recyclable and biodegradable.
Isenmann Ingenieure from Haslach, a customer of Dlubal Software, was in charge of the structural planning. The calculation and design of the access core and the pile foundation made of reinforced concrete were performed in RFEM.
