A slender, elegant bridge for pedestrians and cyclists connects the old town and the hospital town of the large district town of Eichstätt, Germany. This customer project was awarded with the "Bavarian Engineering Award 2023" and the "Ernst & Sohn Engineering Construction Award 2024" – and rightly so, because it really is something special.
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 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.
The marina hotel is situated between Friedrichshafen and Lindau, on Lake Constance, one of the most attractive regions in Germany.
However, this exclusive location offers some challenges which must be considered in the structural engineering. For example, actions due to wind and earthquakes are considerably increased in the area around the lake.
A new boiler house has been built for the biomass power plant in Berlin-Neukölln, Germany.
The engineering office of Jürgen Ehlenz, a customer of Dlubal Software, was in charge of the structural analysis and design of the boiler house, including the connection design.
The Kozłowski-Projekt Engineering Office participated in designing a factory which produces wood‑based, high-endurance laminate panels. The project by MLT OOO was constructed in Torzhok, Russia, making it Europe’s largest manufacturer of panels of this type.
Many of the stone monuments in the Angkor archaeological site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are currently ruins. The condition of the intact monuments is worsening quickly.
Thus, international experts are looking intensively into the causes of the poor technical condition of these important monuments and trying to find suitable solutions to rescue them. The Czech research team is participating in saving these monuments in Angkor as well, with the five‑year research project "Thermal Imaging and Structural Analysis of Sandstone Monuments in Angkor".
The main objective of the project is represented by an analysis of the stone structures' loading due to environmental temperature changes and the influence of this loading on the static safety of the monuments. In addition to the research performed directly in Angkor, numerical simulations of the behavior of stone structures loaded by external actions, focused on the effect of temperature changes, also forms a part of the project.
The structural engineering software RFEM for FEM analysis and design by Dlubal Software was used to create numerical models and carry out the structural analysis.
The grate scaffolding of the biomass power plant in Berlin-Neukölln, Germany, is a structure with a high temperature load.
The engineering office of Jürgen Ehlenz from Beckingen, a long-time Dlubal customer, was responsible for the structural analysis of the grate scaffolding with moving parts, as well as for the construction and design of the piping.
