The extension in the Bohnau business park is not only sustainable, but also particularly innovative. For the first time in Germany, a connection system for cross-laminated timber floors without any downstand beams, though providing large spans, has been implemented.
This is a research and development project with the long-term goal to design a circular timber house that is energy-efficient and provides excellent living comfort using a rotation system according to the sun's position.
A developer project of 121 apartments in 2 identical buildings for rent with an area of 53,820 ft² each, designed by CIP ARQUITECTOS SL, was built by the construction company ACR in just 13 months of construction, including earthworks, foundations, and basement, using the industrialized Steel Framing system by AFCA Teccon, a customer of Dlubal Software.
An 88.18-ton steel structure subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses had an obsolete fastening system that no longer met the current ergonomic requirements. The study of a new fastening system was based on specifications that required significant ergonomic improvement, certified resistance to stress, low costs, low space requirements, and ease of implementation and operation.
A unique and extraordinary spiral staircase has been constructed in the KF Aerospace Centre for Excellence in Kelowna, BC, Canada. The staircase consists of a timber-concrete composite system (TCC) and spans a length of approximately 70 ft and a height of approximately 23 ft without intermediate supports.
Nexans Solar Technologies is an internal branch of Nexans, created in 2018 as part of the transition plan towards renewable energies, which aims at providing solutions, products, and services to energy producers and investors.
The solar tracker from KEYLIOS® is the first solution entirely conducted by Nexans Solar Technologies, from design to manufacturing. A major contract had already been signed with a prominent developer of photovoltaic projects and an energy supplier providing more than 800 of these solar trackers to be established on four solar facilities located in the southwest of France.
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.
The goal of the hydroelectric power plant project was to analyze the resistance of a double mechanical displacement system on rails subjected to tensile stress.
VisLab, a start-up at the University of Parma, is a global leader in autonomous driving system development for various vehicle types. The American company Ambarella became aware of VisLab’s mission in a rapidly developing area characterized by strong competition, and decided to strategically acquire the company. As a result, a new location for headquarters to accommodate this research was required. Ambarella preferred the research center to remain on the University of Parma campus in Italy.
Witteveen+Bos performed seismic analysis on an existing concrete foundation with piers, located in the Netherlands. The connected steel pipe rack and piping system were included in the analysis.
Utilizing a multimodal response spectrum analysis in RFEM, Witteveen+Bos specified unique response spectra to analyze the structural response induced by this seismic activity.
