The four-story office building welcomes visitors, members, and employees of the AmperVerband company in its modern premises. The entrance area of the partially glazed facade includes inclined, V‑shaped composite steel columns spanning two floors.
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 scaffolding structure consists of aluminum trusses with heights varying between 1.64 ft and 3.28 ft as well as horizontal steel beams, columns, railings, and bracings. All elements are based on the PlusEight system.
This multi-material tower structure includes mainly timber and steel elements. Only the foundation and attached rigid columns were constructed as reinforced concrete.
The station building is an organic shaped steel structure consisting of three connected parts. The left and right building sections are formed by curved Vierendeel truss beams extruding from the main Vierendeel truss down to the reinforced concrete foundation. These main trusses are supported by a row of columns with additional vertical bracing.
The ALBYR Structures team was commissioned to design a new industrial hall in a high seismic activity region. The hall includes seven interior double-hinged frames with tapered beam ends as well as floor levels for offices. The columns were designed to support crane girders for a 5.5-ton crane.
Designed to store nearly 2 million library volumes and works of art, the University of Arkansas Library Annex in Fayetteville was built with cross-laminated timber (CLT) roofs, walls, and floors, and glulam beams, columns, and moment frames.
The bridge structure of Isarsteg as integrating artwork fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Taking nature as an example, the bridge spans the Isar river like a branched limb. Together, the ramps, stairs, columns, and horizontal beams represent the spatial framework. The pedestrian and cycle bridge, 525 ft long in total, was made of weather-resistant structural steel, S355 J2G2W (corten steel).
The new roofing system for the GULFIN Cameroun oil company's filling station in Douala is a particular structure with eccentric columns and non-symmetric cantilevered 21-foot-long beams.
In 2008, the German company Messe Frankfurt organized an architectural competition for planning the redesign of the northern and southern gates leading to the exhibition center. The goal was to design a guardhouse and a roof for each gate. The building owner wanted the roofs to be developed as extraordinary structures with high recognition value.
In October 2013, the "Walsersteg", a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists built across the Loisach River, opened in the south of the old town of Wolfratshausen in Germany. The bridge connects the existing traffic routes on both sides of the river. The uncovered bridge spans the Loisach without columns and has a pylon guyed on one side. The structure has a width of 9.8 ft and a span width of 150.9 ft.
During the final days of World War II, a column segment of the Brandenburg Gate was severely damaged by grenade attacks. When the gate was reconstructed in 2002, the German engineering office of J. Sando in Weimar developed a method by which it was possible to substitute the column segment. The special supporting structure necessary for the substitution process was designed using RFEM.
The new ice hockey arena in the Czech town of Jičín replaces the old, outdated outdoor stadium. Not only does the arena serve as a venue for the local ice hockey team, but it also opens its doors to schools and the community.
WIEHAG GmbH, a customer of Dlubal Software, used RSTAB to calculate the impressive, column‑free roof structure consisting of truss girders made of glued-laminated timber. Moreover, WIEHAG was responsible for the production and construction of the roof structure.
The bird-watching tower in the Reuss River delta is an exceptional lookout construction in the Urner Alps. Its striking primary framework consists of 48 log timber columns standing in an inclined position. From four viewing platforms, people seeking relaxation enjoy the wonderful view over the river delta, and ornithologists can watch nesting birds.
In October 2010, the Waterside Theatre opened its doors in Aylesbury, near London. In its floor plan and roof structure, the town's new emblem mirrors the shape of the Chiltern Hills in Southeast England.
The bar-shaped timber columns in the inside and outside areas refer to the depths of the forest. The facade's construction has an external supporting structure, which means that the building's envelope is actually built inside (reversed facade); it has a peanut-shaped floor plan with six different radii of curvature.
The structure of the steel hall for a swimming pool at Therme Meran spa consists of rigid rectangular hollow section columns bearing a roof structure rigid in two directions. The model was calculated according to the second-order analysis, considering inclination and precamber.
The cylindrical steel structure of the aviary consists of an upper column in the form of an inclined spoked wheel and a base with anchoring spans as an observation platform.
