As part of the urban development of Metz, a new gymnasium is under construction, featuring advanced engineering techniques and a commitment to sustainability. The project combines LC spruce GL24h cross-beams, steel columns, and insulated concrete precast walls to ensure the stability of the structure. The timber roof structure serves as a support for the photovoltaic panels. BET Moselle Bois, a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for the structural analysis and design.
The general contractor Demathieu Bard Construction commissioned Dlubal customer BET Moselle Bois to carry out the timber-and-steel structures' preliminary design. The projects are part of the Marie Curie School located in Fontoy, in the Moselle district.
Two 9- and 6-story residential buildings, which include 56 units in total, are the first in France to be certified passive at the height of 9 stories. They are located in seismic zone 4, in the heart of Grenoble’s Flaubert eco-neighborhood. The buildings, constructed with 52,972 ft3 of zinc-coated wood, are both an architectural masterpiece and an innovative achievement to inspire housing sustainability for the next decade.
Modern design methods and fabrication techniques of CLT panels allow for easier design and construction of high‑rise timber buildings.
“Îlot bois de Strasbourg” is one of the first CLT building projects in France to exceed 98 ft in height. This building complex, consisting of three high‑rise buildings, provides commercial space on the ground floor and 146 residential units on the upper floors. The entire structure has a total area of 100,104 ft².
