Sky Centre Station Structure - Austria
Project was made as a part of the sky centre in Austria. The lower area was built in concrete, while the upper part combined steel and CLT. High forces caused by the gondolas were taken into account to avoid structural failure and excessive deformations. Bracings ensure the vertical and horizontal stability of the steel structure, while the column-end joints were designed as hinged.
For this task we needed to analyse various types of materials and loading: high wind loads, high snow loads and loads from the gondolas.
Arcus Engineering developed a finite element model of the steel, concrete and timber structure and evaluated its behaviour under the required load combinations.
The analysis considered:
Arcus Engineering provides structural analysis, connection design and dynamic load assessment for concrete, steel and timber structures exposed to demanding operational and environmental loads. Send us your available design documentation and project requirements for an initial review.
