In the multi-story administration building, the spatial interaction of the stiffening wall and ceiling surfaces was necessary for stiffening the building.
The building rests on seven columns and two wall surfaces. The front part has an overhang of approximately 9.8 ft.
The bridge supports were created using a total of 17 elastically bedded surfaces that act only in compression.
The "Hemsedal Ski Center" in the Scandinavian Alps is one of the top 3 ski resorts in Norway. It comprises a total of 49 ski slopes and 20 surface lifts. At the foot of the mountainside, a new apartment hotel with 100 modern rooms will be completed by the end of 2017.
The "Pneumatic Wedge Method" is a new method for the construction of double-curved concrete surfaces using pneumatic formwork. The advantage of this method is that elaborate structures for molds and scaffolding are no longer needed.
Using the "Pneumatic Wedge Method", the Vienna University of Technology has built a double-curved concrete shell as part of a research project. The deformation process and the final structural conditions have been checked with RFEM.
The Infrastructure department of SDEA Engineering Solutions has extensive experience in the railroad sector, especially in designing electrification using overhead contact lines (OCS/OLE), where it has developed projects for high-speed trains in England and streetcar lines in Norway.
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.
