As a part of this work, a timber shell roof of the building was designed. It is a combined structure made of glued-laminated beam and a steel supporting structure. The structural 3D model in RFEM was subjected to a deflection analysis and the individual structural components were optimized. The structural details were designed on the basis of the internal forces calculated from the load combinations.
