In May 2012, the new Saldome2 building of the Swiss company Salt Works on the Rhine AG was officially put into operation. With a span length of 120 m (394 ft) and a height of 31.6 m (104 ft), the salt storage is the biggest dome structure in Europe. It was designed and built by Häring, a Swiss company specializing in timber technology. The structural analysis was performed by Häring engineers R. Schneider and C. Zihlmann, using the Dlubal Software programs RSTAB and TIMBER Pro.
The building is located on avenue Melchor Ocampo, Tercera Sección, in El Espinal, Oaxaca, Mexico. It is a building with a pharmacy on the ground floor and medical offices on the upper floors with partitions made of lightweight material.
The new ice hockey arena in the Czech town of Jičín replaces the old, outdated outdoor stadium.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.
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.
Due to the deterioration of some timber footbridges on the pedestrian and cycle path of the Seriana Valley in the province of Bergamo, Italy, it was necessary to refurbish them with more durable materials. Therefore, the mountain community of the Seriana Valley commissioned Studio Rota Nodari of Alzano Lombardo to design and manage the works for the replacement of the bridge over the Serio river between the municipalities of Cene and Gazzaniga, Italy.
The tripper car bridge is a part of the conveyor belt structure realized in Uzbekistan.
The engineering office of Jürgen Ehlenz, a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for the structural analysis and detailed design of the conveyor bridge and other parts of the conveyor belt system.
The German company Berliner Seilfabrik has designed and produced playground equipment for children since the 1970s. Climbing the spatial rope net structures helps children to develop and improve their psychomotor skills and three-dimensional perception abilities. The items of play equipment have names like Globe, UFO, and Twist & Shout.
The efficient combination of wood, steel, and glass composing this staircase, fashioned by the YLEx design office, provides a soothing perspective of lightness.
In June 2018, a new and unique lookout tower by world-famous architect Martin Rajniš opened in the Prague municipal district of Kyje. When designing the tower, maximum emphasis was placed on the use of natural and renewable material.
The lookout tower structure is constructed with acacia logs 3.15 inches in diameter. The main supporting structure includes three legs, where a spiral staircase is also suspended. The tower legs are made of a lattice structure in the shape of an elongated barrel. At the top, the legs are interconnected with three steel hoops and a triangular steel structure.
The tower is 77.1 ft high with the observation platform located 65.5 ft above ground elevation. The observation tower can hold up to 9 people during typical operation.
A kindergarten, designed according to Building Information Modeling (BIM), is currently under construction in the Tyrolean municipality of Schwoich. The digital 3D model accompanies the construction project from design until completion.
The architectural planning was performed with Autodesk Revit. The structural model, including cross-sections, materials, loads, and so on, was exported to RFEM with the direct interface and designed there.
The feed hopper is a part of the conveyor belt system realized in Uzbekistan.
The engineering office of Jürgen Ehlenz, a customer of Dlubal Software, was responsible for structural analysis and detailed design, as well as construction drawings of the feed hopper and other parts of the conveyor system.
For a project in Rotterdam, ADS Ertner used IDEA CONNECTION to analyze a structural steel connection. This program calculates steel connections utilizing the CBFEM method, where each thin-walled cross-section is modeled with nonlinear material properties, nonlinear bolts, and nonlinear welds. In order to transfer loads, ADS Ertner needed to use blocks in the connection model. In IDEA CONNECTION, blocks are not easily integrated with thin-walled plates.
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.
Dlubal customer Estudi M103, an architecture office for structural consulting and calculation reports, was commissioned to carry out the structural consulting of the first office building built entirely of wood in Spain, using Dlubal RFEM software. It is an office building with a ground floor and 4 above-ground stories, located on Calle Llacuna 42 in Barcelona. With this type of building, construction periods are shortened due to the use of new sustainable materials, and even carbon emissions are reduced by 50% during construction.
This hydraulic dam project, located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region (PACA), included design consideration for the control valve’s rotational axis deformation, maximum stress, and material fatigue behavior.
The recent trend in high-rise construction is clearly dominated by timber as the most ecological and environmentally-friendly material. The project promoter Nexity Resolutely is committed to constructive building solutions with a reduced carbon footprint through various labels and certifications included in its several office and commercial timber projects.
Among these is the Palazzo Meridia, which is currently the tallest CLT office building in France. Dlubal customer CBS-Lifteam was responsible for the planning, supply, and installation of the timber structure.
