| Abstract: |
The core of Stuttgart 21 is the new underground station with its characteristic "light eyes". The railway tracks are rotated against the existing terminal station by an angle of 90 degrees, which means they will be oriented transversely across the Stuttgart valley. This underground station is designed as a reinforced concrete shell structure, in such a way that the concrete shell is always in compression. Its "green cover" forms the link to a new municipal district on the location of the current platform area. This paper describes the development of the shape of the shell structure, from a first soap membrane model over suspended chain models and digital CAD models to discrete finite element analysis models. The creation and modelling of the system, as well as the special calculations required are explained in some detail. |
