Customer Project | The Hanging Gardens of Zug, Switzerland

📣 Presenting Semiramis – The Hanging Gardens of Zug, Switzerland

🗼 The tower is supported by steel columns, and the plant bowls, with up to 10 meters in diameter, are crafted from cross-laminated timber panels.

The visionary team at Gramazio Kohler Research, ETH Zurich, developed a fully robotic assembly process with four robots working simultaneously for positioning the cross-laminated timber panels with millimeter precision. 🔨

The TS3 cast resin, developed by Timbatec in collaboration with ETH Zurich and Bern University of Applied Sciences, joints the cross-laminated timber panels together, without the compression acting on the faces. This innovative process, which has been originally used for floor slabs, made it possible to create the structures such as "Semiramis".

The design involved a wind flow analysis in a digital wind tunnel of #RWIND Simulation that allowed to assess the wind pressure, suction forces, and resonance effects along and across the wind direction acting on the structure of slender columns and plant bowl shells. 📊

Knowledge Base Articles

KB 001879 | Influence of Bending Stiffness of Cables

This article describes and explains the influence of bending stiffness of cables on their internal forces. Furthermore, the text provides information on how this influence can be reduced.

Using the Timber Design add-on, timber column design is possible according to the 2018 NDS standard ASD method. Accurately calculating timber member compressive capacity and adjustment factors is important for safety considerations and design. The following article will verify the maximum critical buckling strength calculated by the Timber Design add-on using step-by-step analytical equations as per the NDS 2018 standard including the compressive adjustment factors, adjusted compressive design value, and final design ratio.

Rolled sections, the most common cross‑section type in RFEM and RSTAB, can also have user‑defined parameters. To do this, select the cross‑section to be modified in the cross‑section library and click the [Parametric Input...] button.

In this article, the adequacy of a 2x4 dimension lumber subject to combined biaxial bending and axial compression is verified using the RF-/TIMBER AWC add-on module. The beam-column properties and loading are based on example E1.8 of AWC Structural Wood Design Examples 2015/2018.

Product Features

Export RFEM or RSTAB Models to *.glb or *.glTF Format

RFEM and RSTAB models can be saved as 3D glTF models (*.glb and *.glTF formats). View the models in 3D in detail with a 3D viewer from Google or Babylon. Take your VR glasses, such as Oculus, to "walk" through the structure.

You can integrate the 3D glTF models into your own websites using JavaScript according to these instructions (as on the Dlubal website Models to Download).

Activation of Camera Flight Mode in RFEM

With the Camera Fly Mode view option, you can fly through your RFEM and RSTAB structure. Control the direction and speed of the flight with your keyboard. Additionally, you can save the flight through your structure as a video.

"Update only Materials, Thicknesses, and Cross-Sections" Export Option

The direct interface with Revit allows you to update the Revit model according to the changes you have made in RFEM or RSTAB. Depending on the modification, the Revit objects may have to be regenerated (deleting the object and subsequent regeneration). The regeneration is performed on the basis of the RFEM/RSTAB model.

If you want to avoid this regeneration, activate the check box 'Update only materials, thicknesses, and sections'. In this case, only the properties of the objects will be adjusted. Changes different from those in material, surface thickness, and section are, however, not considered in this case.
