| Abstrait: |
In the city centre of Düsseldorf, Germany, a new shopping destination with an extraordinary design and an impressive structure is currently realized. The site delivers all possible boundary conditions a structural engineer needs for sleepless nights. The project will be located between a listed high-rise building, the popular listed theatre of Düsseldorf, a road tunnel and a metro station. The main building consists of 5 floors above ground and up to 5 floors below ground. The load bearing structure will be made of reinforced concrete. As a consequence of the different usages the column grid is quite irregular with spans up to 15 m. Significant challenges are double curved, inclined walls and a bracing system on the existing road tunnel to carry a column force of 15 MN. In order to minimize construction time, the structural engineers proposed the dig-and-cast construction method in which the building is growing up and down simultaneously. |
