Abstract:

The contribution focuses on some of the structural engineering challenges encountered in the planning and construction process of the new Merck Innovation Center in Darmstadt, Germany. The project features large areas of exposed concrete, including free-form curved concrete stairs, as well as a large span two-way composite floor system. The focus is placed on the floor system and the connecting stair structures, documenting the process from the initial analysis and design to the final construction.
